"Ever been to a Moot? Strangest thing you’ll ever see. A bunch of Minotaur sitting around eating, drinking, talking to one another and to empty air. Even the ones who normally do nothing but carve their enemies up with axes sit around chatting like old men at a card game about the day’s happenings and listening to the seers tell what the spirits have to say. Just don’t make any cow jokes, they REALLY don’t like those."

Minotaur are often hired for military duty and other physical endeavors due to their natural heartiness. They are strong and can use large weapons easily. Minotaur are rarely seen as craftsmen or spellcasters. They seem to have some difficulty mastering these trades to the level of other races.

All Minotaur possess a deep connection with the spirit world. They are frequently seen conversing with spirits and most treat the presence of spirits as a common and natural thing, though they are careful to treat spirits with respect.

Minotaur everywhere practice a common ritual gathering every day at sunset. They call it a Moot. All Minotaur are expected to attend. Most Moots are chatty, happy affairs with drinking, singing, and games. It is a time to tell stories and share knowledge. Other races are generally welcome to join in.

While it appears to be nothing more than a gathering of all the Minotaur in a particular town or clan to socialize and talk over the day’s events, there is a deeper level to a Moot.  It seems that these gatherings draw spirits, and Minotaur with the ability often speak to the spirits and then address the others as to what they have learned and what guidance the spirits have to offer. Not all spirits are so helpful, however, and Moots that attract the wrong spirits can turn dangerous quite quickly.
