The eshu are a race of winged minotaurs. They are much smaller than other minotaurs. They stand only 6'-8' tall. They are hunters and farmers and generally live simple lives. Although they have wings and are powerful flyers they are mostly land dwellers.
Their religion teaches that they were created as servents and heralds of Sarenrae and that "true" minotaurs are actually the decendents of eshu that were cursed for betraying their creator. Their original civilization was destroyed but they were able to rebuild their culture elsewhere with the aid of the ee'aar. The eshu now live along with, but seperate from the ee'aar aiding them in their war with ogres that infest the mountains that the eshu and the ee'aar share.
