Humans

By far the most numerous of the races, they are found nearly everywhere on the continent, sometimes unwillingly. All humans in the world trace their heritage back to the Solavii people, the first humans created by the gods Solag and Reka in the Time of Mist. Almost no trace of the inherent magic that could be found within a First Generation Solavii is found in the current human race however, the dilution having long caused that to fade. 
Humankind is not strongly delineated along skin tone, the Solavii were created in all different shades and tones without any bias towards a singular one. The modern human race and many of their nations put little stock in such things, considering more the culture that other humans come from rather than their skin tone as most areas have a relatively even mix of all with some areas being weighted slightly more in some tones than others.  
The proud peoples of the Veshk Sultunate claim that the cradle of humanity lies within their lands and that they are the birthplace of humanity, a claim that most do not contest. This belief stems from the fact that some of the most successful survivors of the cataclysm that destroyed the primoridal continent were the Veshk River People who would go on to settle the Veshk River Valley and eventually form the Veshk Sultanate. 
Meanwhile the Solavi populations on the coasts of what would become Jek'ra, Glernor and the Boradessal Forest did not fair nearly as well, being driven inland in broken groups that would develop independently during and after the war to form unique cultural and linguistic subsets across the southern part of the continent. The tribes that would become the Padjii were those Solavii who escaped the destruction along the coasts by taking to the storm tossed and quake wracked seas where they would drift for centuries before settling on islands and coasts around the worlds in the twilight of the Time of Mist. 
Humans can be found in the entirety of the Azure Federation and from the Veshk Sultanate, they also have settled the Shattered Islands to the south and west of the continent forming the South-Sea Baronies. Nearly all human settlements and all of the human centric nations are found in the southern portion of the continent.
The Azure Federation is a massive alliance of the five major human nations on the continents southern shores and includes several affiliate nations as well that are not fully within the federation but work with it in matters pertaining defense and trade. Previous to the federation the human Kingdoms there had fought many wars between themselves and were generally open to predation from the Troll Kingdoms, Orc warbands and the Veshk Sultanate among others. It was due to the fall of the Kingdom of Kromgard to the far north-east, the northernmost human kingdom, to Hobgoblin Legions that the first draft of the Azure Federation was created and over the next few decades, signed and formalized.
The human nations are varying levels of Xenophobic, some more extreme than others but due to their relative distance from the population centers of other species they are isolated from non-humans in even the larger cities which leads to non-humans being mistaken for monsters and the like in rural areas. To exasperate that, within the last 50 years the Troll Kingdoms of the Shattered Ord launched a massive assault against the Azure Federation, overtaking nearly all of the Boradessel Forest and the Boradessal Duchies found within.
