Guess I wasn't that clear. The players assumed that there were no centaurs and thus were suprised by their presence. They were very concerned how centaurs being allied with the Elves would shift the balance of power in the area (not knowing how many, but knowing that centaurs and elves got along)and also what other creatures may be lurking there after the startling development of a race that the assumed did not exist on Cerilia.
