The Centaurs have a a disputed nature: while some claim them to be a member of the race of the Beast Men, others point a demonic origin due their conflicting nature and anatomy.

The dispute around their origin is extensive as well to where the first centaurs appeared: some say they came from the Steppes of Hieyoks, from where they migrated during the prehistory into Zarhuy and Aels, settling always in the great plains. Others point them instead -as a demonic creation- to have been created by the demons during their invasions of the southern Dumian Empire and while the Demon-Dumian Wars, when they attacked the northern Dumian empire from the steppes of the Barlans, and only afterward would settle in Hieyoks.

Whatever their origin was, it will be during the Age of Invasions and after the Apparition of Humanity when they numbers will began to decline.

Because of this, the Centaurs almost disappeared from Aels and Zarhuy, with the exception of some clans, with only the centaur communities of the great steppes of Hieyoks remaining unaffected:

Before the First War of the Power, Aelian centaurs largely served the Dark Legion of Demons.

Centaurs are thought of in many Elven -and later human- myths as wild as untamed horses, barbarians and monsters, having tales of them being man (or elf) eaters.

The Centaurs where of nomadic nature -and later, semi-nomad-, dedicated to be gatherers and collectors -and later, they domesticated cattle. They where herbivorous, but later -due cultural adaptation- they have become omnivore -however this diet give them problems-.

Most of their tools where of stone, bones and wood, learning very lately -during the Dark Age of Demons- the use of metal: but as they didn't make mines, they only used superficial minerals or collected from rivers, prefeering to get metal tools from trading.

Being nomads, they didn't had cities of fortresses, and if they wanted to build something they used wood, and tree branches.

Neither they had a written language, but due commercial relations and influence of some near peoples, several tribes of centaurs learned about writing, using foreign systems and languages rather their own for writing: Instead, they prefeered to use oral traditions, memories and poems to transmit their culture and traditions. 

After the First War of the Power, the Aelian centaurs were freed from Demonic Rule and would remain so, resisting -like some other pockets of demons- the return of the Demon Lords by the Second War of the Power, aligning themselves with the enemies of the demons who claimed to be their masters-

PREVIOUS CANNON FOR CENTAURS OF AIERS, BEFORE MAKING THEM DEMONS!!

The Centaurs are a member of the race  of the race of the Beast Men.

The centaurs, nomad by nature lived their "golden age" during the ages before humanity and the rise of Elfkind, when while they never where numerous, they had been known as the masters of the plains.

While they origin is disputed, some say they came from the Steppes of Hieyoks, from where they migrated during the prehistory into Zarhuy and Aels, settling allways in the great plains.

With the beginning of historic times -the invention of writting systems, by dark elves and dwarves-, the centaurs had a disperse but important presence in most of eastern Aiers, but with the expansion of elfkind, they began to slowly being pushed from their homelands by light and dark elves -and later orcs and goblins-, with their population stagnating.

However, it will be during the Age of Invasions and after the Apparition of Humanity when they numbers will began to decline, due the arrival of kanovs and humans, disputing their steppes and plains for their own cattle, and with the arrival of the demons, some served them in the Dark Legion, and others -who resisted- where pursuited as well by the demons.

Because of this, the Centaurs almost dissapeared from Aels and Zarhuy, with the exception of some clans, with only the centaur communities of the great steppes of Hieyoks remaining unaffected.

The tree of Peoples from Aiers

This is a coloured and slighty modified version of this one: fav.me/d5fr0r8 thought I think the colours wouldn't match this character. And I didn't gave her bodypaint due lazyness.
