HISTORY

Created in the age of the old gods, these unique horse-men have a natural passion for war. Their lower half is identical to that of a horse; ranging in size, color, and build just the same. Interestingly their top human-like torso is also just as varied in size, color, and build as humans.

Since the New Dawn of Time, Centaur have warred with everyone. Ask anyone of them and they would proudly boast that their kind does not discriminate. Historically that seems very accurate as they have battled human advancement, warred with giants for game, tried to exterminate gnomes, hunt draconians for their hide and still trade in elven slaves to this day.

They live a life of sparse possessions and all centaur are warriors first and foremost. They live for soldiering and are renowned for their battle discipline. There is no more formidable line than that of a Centaur Battle formation.

There are few races as fierce and battle hardened as the Centaur. This equine race believes there is no greater honor than to die on the battlefield. The older they get the more fierce they become, as the fear of dying off field begins to grip their hearts. Dying of anything outside of battlewounds brings great shame to their house.

Centaur are very hedonistic. They succumb to their base urges with very little provocation. What little restraint they do have is forgotten altogether when alcohol is consumed. It is fortunate that drunkenness is forbidden within their ranks, less they slaughter themselves in drunken rage.


GOVERNMENT

• Fascism - Supreme Chancellor Landor Vasilios

Supreme Chancellor's Bio
A dark-skinned torso, with tight-curled hair and a black-coated Clydesdale body, complete with a firmly cropped tail and jeweled horseshoes. Landor is more than a leader he is an idol for his kind. In the great wars, he earned an immortal place in the tomes of the great library. His feats of glory are sung in the halls of the gods as loudly as any Centaurian tavern.

The Chancellor delegates many responsibilities to personally elected leaders that he deems competent enough to handle the responsibilities of that role. Failure is shameful and betrayal is fatal in the royal ranks of the Chancellor's Cabinet. Nonetheless, Landor is from house Vasilios and has been raised since birth to be Chancellor of the Centaur, he has chosen his leadership wisely and stays abreast of his peoples' collective needs.

      Yes sir. But I must confess that the amount of lore on Centaur is severely lacking.

Seraphim and Nephilim

In the World of Epimetheus, there are two biblical races: the Seraphim and the Nephilim. There is only a brief mention of them in the Bible, but it is believed that the Book of Giants, which was removed when the original canon was written, goes into greater detail about these two beings. But let us share with you what we have learned and what direction we went in. The Seraphim are fallen angels who were cast out of heaven for siding with Lucifer during a coup. As the lore goes, Lucifer, being the most magnificent of all of God's creations, sought to assume the throne of Heaven by overthrowing his creator. There is some debate about the motivation of this move. Some say that Lucifer refused to bow down to mankind as we were created to be higher than the angels themselves leading to division among the celestial heavens. Others claim that Lucifer argued on behalf of mankind's souls which were destined to wander aimlessly throughout time in the afterlife. As you can see one si

Big-Med-Small At long last, we can celebrate the completion of the remastering of every race on Aborlon! If you would like to see the full to-scale image you can find it in this lair. It is the background image of this lair's home page. On my PC I need zoom out to 67% to see the full image, try it on your PC and let us know what magnification you can see the whole image on. If you are using a phone...well that is just way too much imagination for your hand-held device. We have big races and small races, colorful and fuzzy races, flying and galloping races. I mean there is already such an abundance of choices that some people might just say we are getting a little carried away.

Gnomes

Mythologically speaking Gnomes are no more than 15 centimeters tall. That is less than 6 inches! For the purpose of this game, we are going to make these little guys and gals the size of your common ceramic, garden Gnomes: 2 feet. There is an amazing publication on the lore behind Gnomes written by Wil Nuygen. It contains hundreds of wonderful illustrations by an artist named Rien Poortvliet and has served as the fundamental source of our knowledge on Gnomes. Team Epimetheus tips their collective hats to the time and effort spent in collecting this data. For the purpose of this game, we decided to make Gnomes a mischievous race with an unmatched sense of smell. Not only do they have a natural connection with wildlife, but they are also the games natural choice for potion creation. Gnomes are versatile people and can be found throughout all of Epimetheus, but they hail from the nation of Linkkert . Share with us your take on Gnomes and what you would like to see done with them for
