Centaur

Centaurs are creatures with the lower body of a horse and the torso, arms, and head of a humanoid. In Exandria, they are related to elves, and sometimes build joint societies with them.

Description
Centaurs in Exandria are zealous worshipers of Corellon, believing the Archeart to be their creator.

Centaurs in Tal'Dorei
The centaurs of Tal'Dorei primarily live in the Dividing Plains, although there are rumors of a small tribe in the south of the Parchwood Timberlands. The centaurs of the plains gather every ten years in an event called the Herdsmeet at the Throne of the Archeart, the supposed site of their race's creation. At the Herdsmeet the centaurs pay homage to the Archeart and discuss tribal matters with each other.

The various tribes of the Dividing Plains are somewhat scornful of the elves of Syngorn, still holding a grudge regarding their escape to the Feywild during the Calamity.

Centaurs in Wildemount
There was once an elven and centaur society in the Strathfell Forest, in the north of the Tooth of Zehir. It was destroyed by the invasion of Karkethzerethzerus, a shadow dragon who petrified the forest with energies from the Shadowfell, but a few centaurs survived. As of 835 PD their descendants were still fighting back, hoping to reclaim their ancestral home.

History
While many elves survived the Calamity by retreating to the Feywild, the Horselords of Lapithas stayed on the Material Plane and fought Gruumsh alongside Corellon. According to legend, when Corellon stabbed Gruumsh through the eye, the magic merged the bodies of these elves with those of their horses, killing them. Out of gratitude for their loyalty, Corellon resurrected them so they could live as the first centaurs.
