Shifter
Tribes of nomadic humanoids that raise herds of horses on the southern plains, the Horse-Men are known as the breeders of the best horses in Crescent. They are fierce warriors with a highly developed sense of honor.
- Appearance
- Horse-men are nearly indistinguishable from humans, which leads some sages to believe that they share a common ancestor. Their features are a little more rugged, their movements more animalistic, their minds more cunning.
- Horse-men also have a limited shapeshifting ability, which allows them to enhance their physical attributes for a limited time.
- Alignment
- Closely aligned with the natural world, horse-men are typically neutral leaning towards good. They have a strong sense of personal honor.
- Religion
- Originally a shamanistic, druidic culture, they have transitioned to following Crustan with little fanfare.
- Location
- Horse-men are native to the plains of the southlands, roaming in tribal organizations with their herds.
