HUMANS

Humanoid

Forgotten Realms

Humans on Toril 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.
Many races had their own unique terminology by which they referred to humans. ELADRIN 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. HALFLINGs were 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 GIANTS language they were known as van.
