Human
Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for the ages, and great kingdoms that can persist for long centuries.
An individual human might have a relatively short life span, but a human nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single human’s memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics.
BASIC INFORMATION
Anatomy
Humans are more physically diverse than other common races. Individuals can stand from 5 feet to over 6 feet tall and weigh from 100 to 250 pounds. Human skin shades, hair colors and physical characteristics will change wildly between regions and ethnicity.CIVILIZATION AND CULTURE
Naming Traditions
Having so much more variety than other cultures, humans as a whole have no typical naming tradition. Some human parents give their children names from other languages, such as Dwarf or Elves, but most parents give names that are linked to their region’s culture or to the naming traditions of their ancestors.Culture and Cultural Heritage
Despite the constant war between bordering kingdoms, humans are the most social and tolerant race, accepting the company of all if they abide by society standards. Many attribute this to a human’s ability to thrive in almost any climate and terrain, resulting in their societies constantly meeting new neighbors and trading partners. Human civilization often mimic neighboring cultures and begin to follow traditions they consider interesting. For example, human’s living close to a Dwarf stronghold may adopt more stone craft architecture or dwarven cuisine. Living close to an Elves grove could result in human homesteads owning beautiful paintings or mixing elf slang into their day to day conversations.HUMAN TRAITS
