Krynn

Thanks to their curious and adventurous nature, the headstrong and enigmatic krynns can be found in many places, but concentrate mainly in major cities. Given their intimidating bovine features, heavy musculature, and combat prowess, most people steer clear of them, while they are sought out by warring Lords, mercenary corps, and adventuring guilds for those exact reasons.

Krynn can be found living among dwarves or in krynn cities near dwarven establishment due to their deeply-entwined history. Legend has it that krynns were originally a tribe of nomadic people whose sole mission was to find a Magisphere so they could immortalize their King. Their search led them into a trap by an evil god who transformed them into Minotaurs and cursed them to navigate his labyrinth for his own amusement. When the dwarves uncovered the maze by chance, they secretly freed the these cursed Minotaurs by replacing them with statues of Minotaurs, which resulted in the Aurochian War. Thanks to a Minotaur called Krynn and the dwarves, the god was defeated and his Magisphere broken.

Since then, the Minotaurs broke the curse and returned to their original form, but kept the bovine features. To honor their savior, the Minotaurs renamed themselves as Krynn and have coexisted with the dwarves, teaching them the gift of metallurgy, which they had secretly learned during their captive. In return, the dwarves taught them the secret of masonry. As a result of this harmonious pairing, these two people relied on one another and prospered together.
