Human
"I dunno, just think they're kind of boring"
History
I mean, what is there to say? They're humans. You know them right? They're all over the damn place. Pink, brown, soft, squishy, give you the ick? Not much else to say about them honestly.... Well alright, if you must know more, I guess I can tell you.
The humans were created at the end of the Deep Night , when the Old Gods diligently worked to create a Kin that would not prefer any of them over the other. In order to do this, they tried to go about it in the exact opposite way of when they created the first Kin, the goblins. The goblins have love and respect of all of the Old God's domains, adoring fire, searching for darkness, living in pits and favoring poison and things that crawl in the mud. And so, the Old Gods decided to make these the primal fears of humans, creating a Kin that could spread across the land but specifically unsuited to the deep night's harsh realities. Seeing how they chafed and suffered, the gods had mercy on them and made it so the sun rose higher and brighter upon the sky, enabling it to finally pierce Myrakka, Goddess of Darkness' night for a short time during the day. This marked the end of the deep night, and the beginning of the end of the first age.
After this, the humans kicked up a fuss, like usual. Together with the New Gods, who favored the humans over all others, they pouted, shouted and stabbed enough people until anyone who didn't see things the way they did had to move on south, to the inhospitable lands of the Ember Wastes and Ingfell. This is commonly referred as the Heavenly Clash
Like has a funny way of knocking you down a few steps when you feel like you're on top though, and soon after this the Sundering happened, and most humans kicked the bucket. Shame. Unfortunately, they're still around and up to their usual shenanigans of infighting and complaining that they don't have it good enough.
Now
Humans are still the dominant Kin. They can be found anywhere, from the West people closely tied to Raiar, God of Rebirth, to the nomads of the Stormrider Khanate, the middle peoples of the Refuge or the east people of the Vulpine Wastes.
Humans come in all flavors and sizes, especially now that some have started to migrate from Ingfell, promising changed ways and a path forth in harmony.
Humans are the most militarily inclined Kin
