Humans

Humans have been compared at times to a magical wildfire. They spread across the land quickly and effortlessly, but without demolishing everything in their path. They are a resilient people known for the ability to bond with and understand a variety of creatures.
They are, for our sake, the template with which the rest of the world is compared to, although on Eden they are the youngest of the races. With the exception of history, culture, and statblocks, humans are the same as on Earth.

History

Human history goes back approximately 3,000 years. Their evolution was likely jump-started by the ambient magical energy of the plane, and the supposed mass migration of the elves from the Feywild into the Material Plane. Their ancestral homeland seems to be either Darsi or Dost, as that is where a majority of their population is concentrated.
Humans moved quickly across the two continents, and as time went on began to expand further. They first met orcs on Damar, and quickly began to spread across that continent. About a quarter of the continent had already been overtaken by dwarves, and within centuries orcs were pushed to inhabit merely half of their own ancestral homeland. From there, humans spread further to other continents. They took easily to the magic that escaped mastery by dwarves and halflings, though not nearly as easily as elves.
It is only within the past thousand years that humans have started to establish real global powers. For the most part, they have integrated themselves into the affairs of other species.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Due to humans contributing largely to their losing a majority of their homeland, orcs historically do not get along with or like humans. For a very similar reason, halflings don't care for humans either.
Humans have a very strong diplomatic history with dwarves.
