Human
This author will not bore readers describing the average human. However, where things differ or are noteworthy for the humans in this setting compared to the reader’s modern world, this page will make a note.
Basic Information
Biological Traits
Lifespan potentially averages 80-100 years, but slavery and poverty often cuts this short. Using magic regularly lengthens a human’s lifespan and slows their aging.
Civilization and Culture
Common Myths and Legends
Humans once had their own gods, but subjugation by the elves have largely forced conversion and records of human history, culture, and religion have been deliberately destroyed by the elves so that knowledge of any original religious myths is very scarce and guarded in careful secrecy. Due to this, creation myths for humans have been lost, but they are referenced in the elven world creation myth. In this, they were created by the Celestial Weaver just like elves were, although the elves also have myths about humans being cursed elves who lost their longevity due to their own wicked nature.

Lifespan

Average Height
The global average for males is 5’10" and for females is 5’5". However, the range of human height is often anywhere between 4’10" and 6’6", allowing for significant variation.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Human skin tones have a range from very fair to quite dark. These tend to follow the geographic distribution of their ancestors, with paler skin tones descending from colder climates and darker skin tones from warmer, with notable variance even within those averages.
