Centaurs of the Green Forest

It is said the dragon Surma sees all in Jelling and that her spies are everywhere. Chief amongst her repertoire of spies are the centaurs of the Green Forest. But here is my dilemma; the centaur is not included in the Core D&D Monster Manual. How rude… No problem, I will just create them by mixing Eladrin and Unicorns to make Surmarkan horsmen “the horsemen of Surma”. I built them using a mix of eladrin and the unicorn from the Monster Manual. In most cases the centaurs have acted as guides to PCs and to date players have not acted violently towards them, but I had to have stats just in case the story changes.

The four basic surmarkan horsman are: (They can be male or female)

Surmarkan Sinn, Level 12 Soldier (Leader)
Surmarkan Ronn Level 13 Soldier (Controller)
Surmarkan Yirret Level 23 (Controller)
Surmarkan Chiral Level 26 (Elite Artillery Leader)

The Sinn, Ronn & Yirrit all have jade colored skin and fur; higher level surmarken have darker tones jade-green. The Chiral has dark emerald colored skin and fur.
