Minotaurs of the Isle of Kortos are a gritty, urbanized lineage primarily concentrated in and around the great city of Absalom. Many are the descendants of gladiators, laborers, or mercenaries who found a place within the “City at the Center of the World” rather than the wild labyrinths of the mainland. They are known for their practical, street-smart outlook and a surprising degree of integration into urban life, often serving as elite heavy infantry, dockworkers, or high-end bodyguards in the city’s rougher districts.

Raised in the shadow of the Starstone, these minotaurs have traded ancestral mysticism for hard-won physical resilience. They possess a rugged higher Strength and Constitution from generations of grueling urban labor and arena combat, though the lingering social stigma they face in 'polite' society results in a lower Charisma. They are valued for their reliability and their ability to navigate both the crowded city streets and the dangerous sewers beneath them with equal ease.
