The Venarian Centaur were at one time a prosperous tribe until the Leopard Centaur moved into the Forest. The Centaur immediately found themselves at war with the powerful cats, who saw the Forest and wanted it for themselves. The Elves initially left the tribes to fight it out for themselves but when they saw that the native Centaurs were being exterminated by the invaders, they stepped in and allied themselves with them against the new aggressors. The Elves only forged the alliance with the stubborn Centaur under the guise of 'hiring' them and a promise to regain the Ancestral Centaur Tribal Grounds. |
