Human
The Humans, the first sapient creation of Ezdos, have become one of the most populous and widespread races in the world of Pelo. Initially, they revered and followed the commands of their creator, but as time passed, they began to feel inadequate and rebelled against Ezdos, leading to a war between mortals and gods. Over the ages, the memory of their creator has faded, and the Humans have largely forgotten their origins.
Humans possess a muscular and lean physique, capable of ranging in height from 4 to 7 feet. Although their skeletons are relatively softer compared to other races, Humans compensate with inherent strength and resilience. Additionally, Humans have an innate affinity for magic, enabling them to learn various magical disciplines relatively quickly. However, mastering these magical arts proves more challenging for them, as their minds are more susceptible to corruption and insanity, particularly when exposed to dark and malevolent forces.
The Humans have established kingdoms and duchies throughout the world, encompassing diverse cultures and medieval levels of technology. Within these kingdoms, kingship is typically determined by bloodline, with rulers chosen from specific royal lineages. However, when a bloodline ends, it often leads to power struggles and potential civil wars, as noble houses vie for the vacant throne. This transition of power can be tumultuous and destabilizing for the kingdom. In contrast, Human tribes select leaders based on individual strength and prowess, prioritizing martial ability and leadership qualities. Dutchies, on the other hand, rely on a council of nobles to select a ruler, ensuring a more representative decision-making process.
While kingdoms, dutchies, and tribes form the backbone of Human society, the world is also plagued by various cults seeking to bring about the downfall of all races. These clandestine groups are driven by their own dark and twisted agendas, often dabbling in forbidden magic and seeking power through manipulation and chaos. Their existence poses a constant threat to the stability and well-being of the Human civilizations.

History
The humans were the first and most dominate race in the beginning of time. Until they led the other races in a war against the Gods to ride the world of them. During that time they not only lost a lot of men and women in battle but they were conducting experiments to create a new race which led to even more deaths. This race later becomes known as the Dracon a "God Killer" race. After that those experiments were outlawed and were never supposed to happen again. Then centuries later they were enslaved by Thane and the blighted forced to work and kill for sport. They later beat them back into the north now know as the Ashlands where thousands were lost to a cataclysmic volcano causing the birth of a new race the Ashendre. Ashendre were humans evolved to live in the Ashlands. Now in this new age the humans are back on the rise hoping to reclaim their dominate throne.
