Illustration of Kaz the minotaur and Delbin the Kender (Dragonlance fandom) sailing their ship towards new adventure. Commissioned by the Dragonlance Nexus as internal illustration for the adventure manual “The Journals of Kaz the Minotaur – The lost colony” featuring a novel by Richard Knaak and a D&D 5th ed adventure.
Kaz left the minotaur islands with his family and a group of friends, towards adventure and the possibility of founding a new settlement. The seas of Krynn are wide and wild, fraught with danger and dotted with unknown islands. Where will the winds take Kaz? Are you ready to live adventure together with your favorite heroes?
“The Journals of Kaz the Minotaur” by Richard Knaak is a special project, which includes both a novel and an adventure for DnD 5th edition, where you can play an adventurer in first person and find yourself involved in the story.

Feet or hooves?
When doing preliminary studies on minotaurs in fantasy art, I noticed that some depictions have feet and others have hooves; but the Dragonlance minotaurs in canon paintings have feet. I checked with the DL Nexus team and R. Knaak, confirming this canon choice, and honestly, it makes perfect sense.
The myth of the Minotaur in ancient history is about a man with taurus head, and is usually depicted as such in vases and so on, like this tondo of an Attic bilingual kylix (picture shared from © Marie-Lan Nguyen / Wikimedia Commons under CC BY 2.5 )
