Boghaid Minotaur
Boghaid minotaurs live in cold highlands, gaining cold resistance and high altitude adaptation.
Unlike their cousins, these minotaurs prefer the highlands, living in hilly areas and mountain valleys. Most boghaid live in temperate climes, but some clans have moved even further north into subarctic areas. Boghaid are rugged and sturdy folk, adapted to the colder climes in which they live. They are covered in thick curly hair, growing longer and thicker on the top of the head, shoulders, back, and chest. Hair color ranges from black and dark brown to russet and fawn. Their large horns sweep out to the sides from the head before curling forward.
Boghaid have a written language, but most of what is written is carved in stone. Their history and culture are primarily preserved in story and song, passed from one generation to the next during festivals and gatherings. Elders sing and tell tales to the younger boghaid, who learn the tales over time before passing them on to the next generation.
Boghaid Names
Instead of descriptors, boghaid minotaurs have clan names. These names derive from the mighty heroes of their people that led them to the highlands and founded the first clans. These names are proceeded by the appropriate patronymic: ac, meaning “son of”; ae, meaning “daughter of”; or am, meaning “offspring of”. Hence, the full name of the female boghaid Eva from Clan Torcall would be Eva Ae Torcall.
