Minotaur

Minotaurs are a sea faring race who were driven from their home following the sinking of a Krevian merchant ship. They now live as seafaring nomads, resorting to piracy to arm their empire to retake their homeland.

Society
The highest duty of a minotaur is to his ship, next to his captain. They are trained from birth on every aspect of running a ship. The elderly and those who cannot help are marooned.

Magic users are held in high regard for their ability to repair the ship without requiring it to dock and their ability to turn the tide of a naval battle by using abjuration spells.

Capturing a ship is seen as one of the greatest accomplishments a captain can do, as it allows the minotaur race to grow without being forced to abandon their friends.

Religion
Minotaurs do not worship any gods in particular, varying from ship to ship. Many pray to Haryk, who controls the waves. Other minotaurs have turned to darker gods to get vengeance for their lost home. Those who have are known to perform sacrifices rather than marooning the members of their crew.
