Cantaurs

Centaurs are a sentient species on the Eastern Continent.
They primarily live in small herds on the grasslands but sometimes wander the woodlands where the population is less dense.
== Biology ==
Centaurs have 6 limbs, 4 for walking on and 2 that are hands. They are known to be omnivorous but have stomachs that can digest grass and leaves which make up a significant part of their diet. They appear to be related to horses but exist in far smaller quantity. Older accounts suggested they had human bodies but more reliable sightings suggest that this is just a visual similarity and instead they have analogous features that when viewed from afar would look human. Their mamammary glans are located on their (lower?) chest, like elephants
Their head and faces are equine with large ears that can swivel around half a circle, and a short muzzle.
== Culture ==
They constitute no known nation as of time of recording, and live a pre-stoneage lifestyle, largely consisting of what they can hunt. They have been observed using tools, though not constructing them - opting to pick up sticks or use tools found or given by other species.
Centaurs are wary of other bipedal species, but stories tell of positive interactions with them. Some peoples trade in a barter style arrangement at certain times of the year.
Centaurs grow up fast an die younger than humans do.
== Language ==
They have not been observed using any form of language but do seem to watch each other - perhaps reading body language.
== Notable Populations ==
=== Nacafi ===
Nacafi is home to several nomadic herds of centaurs in its southern and southeast provinces, notably the Rafute plains and Raffir rise, where they are called Napomis (/na.po.ˈmis/). Most herds isolate themselves from humans, but some trade minor goods in exchange for food and one specific tribe in Rafute is considered sacred and offered sacrifices on a regular basis. Centaurs enjoy a high social status within Nacafi and are even viewed as an ancient race by religious people. However, some communities, especially the Umu people, mistrust and attack centaurs, believing them to steal crops and destroying fields. Although the hunting of and other acts of violence against centaurs are prohibited in Nacafi, illegal centaur fights still take place in rural areas where the influence of the government is weak.
=== Middle Islands ===
Pigmy/Dwarf-Centaurs live on the middle islands, seemingly decended from centaurs that migrated to the islands and shrunk down with time.
