Krynn

Given their adventurous nature, this curious race can be found in many places. Like catfolks, krynns are adaptable and social people, allowing them to live harmoniously with other races. Though, their bovine features and strange physique makes them stand out anywhere. Krynns are highly sought after by warring Lords, mercenary corps, and adventuring guilds because of their intimidating looks, though not all krynns are as monstrously strong as they appear.

Krynn is just about the only race that can be fully integrated into dwarven society thanks to their deeply-entwined history. Legends says that krynns were originally a tribe of minotaurs whose sole mission was to find a Magisphere to immortalize their King. Their search led them into a trap by a demigod evil god, Barbatur who gave them an bovine humanoid form that was inferior to their minotaur body. He then imprisoned them in his labyrinth for hundreds of years.

When the dwarves discovered the maze by chance, they freed the the cursed minotaurs. In all of his fury, Barbatur declared war on the minotaurs and their savior, vowing to imprison them all for eternity. The battle lasted generations, until a group of krynn and dwarves managed to slay Barbatur. Finally obtaining their independence, the minotaur renamed themselves after the leader of the heroes, Krynn. Since then, krynns have developed an incredible friendship with dwarves as the two races shared their knowledge and culture with one another.

Cultured and Festive

Old customs that no longer make sense in the context of the times are changed or dropped entirely.

Heroic Bloodlines

Krynns treat legends as history—they practically worship past heroes as though they are gods. This heroic adoration reflects in their complete reverence of high-borns, whose blood are said to directly trace back to the heroes that had liberated them from Barbatur. Only high-borns can become the king or queen of a particular kingdom, the same blood are also prioritized in other high-social positions such as governance and religious leadership.

This reverence of blood has also led to nasty wars between krynn kingdoms. There have always been a dozen if not more high-born families, whose authority and legitimacy have clashed with one another, sparking bloody feuds that can resulted in major consequences. Regardless, most krynn warriors who pledge their alliance to a family would die serving as their sword and shield. To make matters worse, there are also krynns who unify under current heroes who are not connected to the old blood. It is the one area that can completely destabilize krynn society.
