Humans

Humans are the most common and most diverse people throughout the realm of Cinder. Humans can be found acting as merchants in Ashqar , engineers in The City of Blood, knights in The Broken Barony, priests in Tarragona, and many other places and occupations. Since humans are so short lived, they are often unrelenting in the pursuit of their goals, for the grave is forever around the corner.

Themes of Humanity

• Mortality. Your life is short lived, if you want to accomplish your goals you need to work quicker and harder than any other of the inhabitants of Cinder.
• Frailty. To be human is to die, and if you are not already acutely aware of this, the campaign will have you coming to terms with this fact.
• Normal. You are not special because of the circumstances of your birth, and there are many other humans just like you. To be human is to accept your place as one of many, or to rebel against it and attempt to write your name in history, regardless of the futility of your efforts.

Languages

Humans speak a wide variety of languages. Your primary language is dependent on the location of your origin:

• Bremen if you hail from The Broken Barony or The City of Blood.
• Catalita if you hail from Tarragona.
• Eontash if you hail from Ashqar.
• Hyrsh if you hail from Hyrrland.
