They are named "rascullu", and are, of course, not centaurs, though probably more closely related to them than any other Gloranthan species. Or, if your question is "are they bad, too", then the answer is "Yes."

You can talk to me, as I've run six, written three, played in a bunch, and consider myself reasonably expert. You can also email this address:
il-info_at_han.paramax.com
This is the group for live action gaming. It's usually pretty sessile, but announcements are periodically made, and it's quite clear that people read it. If you post, asking for help, you'll get it from players, gamemasters, and writers.

Tusk riders are not beastmen, no matter _what_ other folks say. They are considered to be a hybrid between troll and man. Morocanth are, of course, beasts, not beast-men. But baboons are well up along the humanoid-appearance route, and ducks are not _real_ duck_, but semi-humanoid versions of same.

His teachings didn't survive past his murderer -- Ragnaglar. Though he did manage to talk to a couple of gods and give them some sort of mystic insight before his vanishment. (Humakt was one, and the Emperor of the East -- Metsyla? -- was another.)

I don't think it was meaningful, though. The Kralori philosophies don't really have a place for Lunar Balance or multicultural exploitation.
>The riddles there are definetly of the Zen Koan variety.
Hrm. Zen is Japanese, and I don't think even the Vorumai (most Japan-like of Gloranthan cultures) have an equivalent to Zen. Certainly the Kralori would prefer pithy aphorisms or wise stories.

The Kralori have a mystic type of magic which involves meditation. I'm perfectly willing believe that their entire system of magic is based on some version of illumination.
