The Ravings of an Insane Scholar
"Minotaurs, are they really our friends?"
- By Gebrald, traveling scholar

Some folks out there think that Minotaurs are some kind race, perhaps one worthy of our praise even! Yes, perhaps their voices are nice, and their art looks good to the eye, but people whom look at only that are deluding themselves! Their past is one of much savageness, and the things I have seen a minotaur do… well they could just amaze you!

Their history for instance is one of intense war and bloodshed! By the mother, they wore the
blood of their dead enemies! Savageness and brutality were the norm of minotaurs, and respect was a foreign concept to them. It was so estranged from their reality that in fact they killed their own fellow minotaurs in bloodshed!

When we look at a minotaur in a tavern, yes we do see a simple bard. Still, when one looks
closer into that goblet of red wine, I tell you it isn’t red wine! Nay, it is the blood of a child. Think that is steak they are eating? Peh, more likely it is human steak! Beware I tell you, they can be dangerous varmints.

You see, it is all a conspiracy. Those minotaurs are lulling society into accepting them, then one day they’ll snap and turn bezerk! I mean who is deluding themselves? A minotaur could take a Ss’tiss on in a fight and still have enough energy to cook dinner!

Look around, they are in every kingdom, slowly climbing the social ranks. One day we’ll have
minotaur kings, then minotaur kings will ally, then where will we be? We will be subject to a giant minotaur tyranny! Indeed, we will be the slaves of this horrible regime, and their midnight snacks! Who would possibly be mad enough to let this happen? Certainly, not I!
