Humans

Rivalled only by Elves in terms of their numbers, Humans are considered to be some of the most resilient peoples in the world, championing technology Pannotia-wide.

“Throughout my innumerable travels, there have been three certainties: What can go wrong, most likely shall. Wherever I go there will be taxes to face and finally, there will always be a human who will see what they want in me.” - Urhgok von Strauss, Orcish Tinkerer and Explorer during the Age of Heroes.

Overview

Unlike the Elves who are renowned for the mastering of the arcane or the orcs who lead the technological field, humans are instead known for their abundance and adaptability in the known World. Believed by many to have first established themselves on the continent of Ortim, Humans have gradually, over thousands of years, colonized lone landmasses untouched by the pre-existing races and have established themselves as a powerhouse in their own right by sheer numbers alone. Humans that were native to Ortim, were historically often forced to become indentured servants to the long established Dwarven Kingdoms, but have since evolved and grown into controlling their own, the likes of which even rival the ancient Elven ruling families and Orcish Chieftains. Due to aggressive expansion and exploration, Humans have adapted to form distinct cultures and governments -- all differing in world view, class structure and goals and for that reason it's not too surprising that the Humans that inhabit the Kingdom of Galudon range from all sorts of sizes and skin color, creed and beliefs.
