Human

Humans on Usela were widespread, could be found in most regions and, in general, were fierce and disagreeable, which could sometimes lead certain other races to view them with contempt. They were renowned for their diversity and ambition, and although they lacked specialization, they could excel in many areas.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Many races had their own unique terminology by which they referred to humans. Elves and halfling were known to call them the manyhanded, in reference to an old elven insult the "Manyhanded Curse," while orcs referred to them as the brittle bones. Gnomes, halflings, kobolds, and satyrs were all known to use the term hurbryn, meaning "heavy-footed." Treants referred to humans as oroosh, meaning "never-stopping-talkers." Dragons referred to them as munthrek and in the Giant language they were known as van.

Civilization and Culture

History

Regardless of their precise origins, humans were undeniably successful. While hardly the only dominant race of Usela, humans were one of them and the most recent to obtain dominance. In spite of this strength, or perhaps because of it, humanity was an eternally fractured and divided race, broken up into over a dozen ethnic offshoots. It was believed that this was in part because humanity, unlike most other races, did not emerge as a whole but rather in several places at once, thereby resulting in its diversity.
