| The half-man, half-bull, race of Minotaurs now live under
the rule of the Otharmann Empyre. Thousands of years ago Threshly was the
cradle of civilization but is now just a backwater which its’ citizens wish
independent from the Otharmann Empyre.
Minotaurs are about the same size as Orcs, but there are a few which can
be as big as an Ogre. They are more agile and muscular than most of the
northern races because of their healthy diet of fish and olive oil.
The Otharmann recruit young Minotaurs into the Janissaries as well as
other races from the Bulkan Region of their empire.
Minotaurs also serve in the Ferach army in the Foreign Regiments. They
have been recruited from prisoners of war, deserters from the Otharmann army
and Minotaurs who wish for Threshly independence.
