When they reach the latest states of their lifes, they have difficulties performing simple tasks and they become more fragile and sickly.

Biological Cycle
During their younger years, humans develop teeth that later fall off from their place to leave room to a new definitive denture. In their latest stages of life, they tend to lose their hair and teeth.
Behaviour
Humans are below average beings in most aspects. Over the years, they have made up for it with their ingenuity that lead them to the invention of tools and utensils that allowed them to be on par with other species.
Humans get their strength in numbers and tend to live their lives amongst peers. To solidify their union, humans created a net of guilds in which to gather and protect themselves.
Years of discrimination from other races that considered them inferior beings led to humans being egotistical and self-serving with a wild disrespect for other races. This hatred is most widespread in big cities and gatherings which population consists majorly of humans.

They all have something in common nonetheless, they bestow the power to rule others in one or many individuals that then lead the group.

Some of the greatest minds amongst humans travelled to countries of bigger technological expansion, like the technocracy of Nergroma in Calina.

Major Organizations
The main majorly human countries in Neoria are located in Glasinia. The Ranginian Empire being the biggest and Kiluna being a close second.
The HSA (Human Supremacy Assembly) is a group formed after the Magna Bellis by humans who were unhappy with the cessions of territory and the recognition of some species as deserving of rights. They caused lots of commotion during the first years of reconstruction after the war. They are less prominent in current times, but terrorist attacks still take place in majorly human cities when non-human celebrations happen.
Most humans worship The Light Bearer or The Mind Weaver, the first being considered the mother of humankind and the second one being the gifter of their ingenuity.
Courtship Ideals
Human courtship is a long endeavour in which both parts agree on begining a relationship. After a few years, those who want to formalize their relationship get a ring for their counterpart becoming engaged. After engagement, they usually celebrate a ceremony in which they change their rings to marriage rings.
Marriage is the highest point of human relationships. In it humans swear to be together and serve each other until Louche takes them to the afterlife.
Average Technological Level
Humans are technologically advanced creatures that would have no equal was it not for the goblins. Humans invented the fastest way of land transportation during the Magna Bellis as well as great methods of agriculture and livestock raising. However, their lacking connection to Aether makes most of them unable to improve their inventions with runes, like the dwarves or pure raw magic, like the goblins.
Historical Figures
The main figure that comes to mind when thinking about humans is Neville Rangin, the man that unified the humans under a same flag. Called the king of kings by the humans, Neville rallied humans from all around Neoria to fight together as one during the Magna Bellis. To this day some still idolize him as a hero, however, as of late his image of a hero has been controversial. Some now call for the removal of his statues they consider a symbol of the oppression and cruelty humans showed other races.
Human physique isn't the strongest among the sentient races. Nevertheless, it is enough for them to use their tools to hunt and take on other physically taxing activities.
Human skin ranges from a wide variety of tones. This tones go from a near white coloured skin to dark brown shades that near black. Some of them also sport small specks of color on their skin they call "moles" and some even have a large amount of different color in their faces they call "freckles".
