Ziltagh to ogres was a Castan Beastbane, to the Centaurs he was also a Castan Beastbane. By his death in 1491, he had spent his entire life battling centaur regimes and because of this its very tacitly obvious that he grew to hate them. One citation often taken however, is the bone city of Langhvear. The City of Langhvear was a late creation of his regime, made as a outpost in the forgotten plains before his infamous campaign against the centaur peoples of the Serpentshadow hoard. The historical rumour of the era was that the city was built off of the bones of the massacred horsemen, but the truth is far more tragic. Musou Gravelhide's writings depict a story where upon the decision to claim the forgotten plains for his legacy, Ziltagh ordered the centaurs of his regime to build a city in Ogre-style made of mudstone locally sourced from the northern regions. Tasked with building the city in a matter of three years, Langhvear's creation quickly became the first true act of inhumanity by the Magharman regime when upon its completion Ziltagh reportedly ordered all the builders and killed for a simple factoid of the city being off center. Historically Musou Gravelhide's story was meant as a parable for historians, an example of cruelty to Centaur peoples of the Forgotten plains. Yet, when excavations of the old city of Langhvear did begin evidence of mistreatment of the workers continued. Centaur skeletons having evidence of being bludgeoned to death, archival discoveries of deaths-per-day by the workers that show the creation of the city was bloody and made by what was effectively slave labour...but the most damning of all was the simple fact that upon the excavation of the historical achieves the proof of Ziltagh's own words became known. In an inscribed tablet, written by Ziltagh Gravelhide himself spoke upon the words of the centaurs to his engineers upon the last years of his life: "The ridelords ride free, open lives without thought upon themselves. Breeding in the open like cattle and horses, they are more animal then living being. If the completion of the city is delayed by another hour, I shall personally devour a host of equal population to the population of this damn city!"
@@scissors118 Happy to help, also, I find it fascinating how despite being generally amazing architects in lore and in game, they also are just as staggeringly racist as dwarves are.
@UltimateMetalEver definitely demonsterize. Part of my vision is to become a beacon of civilization and to do that we need to have a reputation of fair dealings. To do that and to be seen as legitimate by the world at large, we must demonsterize

@kyokyodisaster4842 lol maybe it's just the pride of architects
Are you going to demonsterise or are you staying as a monster?
