Their great and profound role in the found- ing of the First Empire has long been forgotten, in no small part due to the meddling of the old Alessian Order, and as of the Third Era, are regarded as little more than savage creatures, comparable to ogres and goblins. Minotaurs are social, and often are found in war herds of twenty or more. They congregate around old ruins, of historical significance to the First Empire, though it is unknown if this is deliberate or because of some long forgotten Instinct. While they have little interaction with the Empire, there is no bounty on their heads as there is on goblins or ogres, as they are content to live in peace in the wilds around the ruins they inhabit. In combat, they are hyper-aggressive and absolutely punishing in their blows. If significantly threatened, minotaurs will retreat deeper into their labyrinthine ruins, and wait for the threat to pass, or to foolishly pursue them into their den.
