Caesin Hills: History and Rumors

Within these low lying hills the Longhorn minotaurs dwell. The Longhorns are a fearsome clan of warriors that range both through the hills and deep beneath them in their caverns. The minotaurs often send parties across the grasslands to the Fey Forest as well, to hunt the lycanthropes and other dangerous creatures that dwell there.

The Longhorn minotaurs don't tend to tolerate any other creatures besides themselves and over the centuries there have been countless encounters with the other creatures that dwell on the island, in particular with the centaurs. A great animosity has built up over time and more often than not violence is the result anytime these two groups come into contact with one another.

When the lycanthropes of the Pack began hunting the satyr and centaur tribes, the fey approached the minotaurs to ask them to allow them to use one of the few relatively safe beaches near the hills. The centaurs and satyrs worked together under the scrutiny of the minotaurs to build a small dock from which to launch their rafts in order to sail to Veapra. For a while the minotaurs celebrated that their enemies were leaving the island but with a subsequent leader change, as is wont to happen within the warrior society, the minotaurs were directed to take over the beach and the dock to prevent any more fey from leaving there. Since then the minotaurs have once again lost interest in the small dock and these days the tides off the shore still allow for easier traversing across the seas separating Caesin and Veapra.

The minotaurs spend a lot of time in competitions between themselves; who is the strongest, who is the fastest, who can kill a werewolf fastest' and it stands to reason that the leader of the clan at any one time is the one who is the strongest in terms of brute strength. Currently, the leader is a brutish minotaur called Hordren the Great Horn.
