The Elves look to guide them in the right direction. Humans populate majority of the realm due to their short life expectancy and breeding.

Origin

Men were placed on this world last, the starlight elves say they were last due to their volitile personalities. ''One human could save the world, yet the same one could destroy it as humans are ruled by their emotions, but with great goodness could be greater than our own. Purer than starlight elves themselves and gain their place in the heavens''. The Elves are said to guide all races on the path in turn showing humanity the way to greatness. The Gods spread the humans in groups through out the world. The first being found in the great plains by the Elves on their pilgrimage. The elves helped them form Pheonix Landing to the south and prospered under their guidance. The dwarves then came to love humans, shared ale and tales along with technologies to help them advance. As time passed more humans began to appear throughout Kalabrim, them who were unlucky enough to have been born into the world without the guidance of Elves had to find their own way most did not survive due to goblin and orc raids. The ones that did came together to form what alliance we bear witness to today.
