A molten MinotaurMinotaur\#Worldbuilding Forged in Blackstone Volcano and infused with magic by Karthor, minotaurs are brutes and beasts, magma in their veins and an eruption of muscles they drive back hordes with large blows.

They are a mighty folk and even just by living in Vel’Ruach is a boast to that testament. They utilise natural fire and a special technique involving a lack of fire to craft marvels.

Named because of the technique they employ where no fire is used to weld things steel together. * It stands behind a large wall of ice that marks their Great Hall so that no residual heat can e.
