In a nutshell, wemics are one-hit-die-plus-class-level creatures. They do not get four racial hit dice. They have no level adjustment. They have racial abilities and modifications much like elves or dwarves, say.
In the Wold, wemics were responsible for instigating the great Taur Civil War, which pitted centaur against minotaur, while the wemics profited from both. But in the end, they were punished. They were diminished and exiled to the smallest of the Taur Isles, where they were plagued by hell hounds and generally miserable.
There is one town on Liontaur Isle, called (in common) Chessford. A few merchant clans are based there. Elsewhere on the isle, wemics live a more tribal, herding life. But the biggest prey to hunt on the Isle (aside from hell hounds) are deer and wild sheep. There are no big predators, like wolves or bears, etc. So the wemics (some of them, anyway) dream of leaving the Isle, returning to the Northern Continent that was their ancient home, and hunting worthy prey again. But they cannot, because the North was devastated by the Great Cataclysm, and because they have not finished their penance -- to reunite the Taur Races in peace.
