Human
A young and vital race, humans are not far removed from the primordial savagery of their beginning times. In fact, many humans still live as savages, with no tools or technology other than wood, stone, or fire. There are many different races or ethnicities of humans scattered throughout the unexplored wilderness of Thule and its neighboring lands, but five are particularly important: the Atlantean, Dhari, Kalay, Lomari, and Nimothan peoples.
OTHER HUMAN TRIBES
The ports of Thule attract merchants and mercenaries from many far lands. They are strangers in Thule their homelands lie in the mysterious islands beyond Hellumar or on the vast, unexplored continents of the Atlantean Ocean. The Bytha come from small, barbaric kingdoms along the eastern shores of the sea. They are slight of build, with fair skin and brown or black hair. Small numbers of Bythan sailors and fishermen inhabit the Isle of Bones. To the southwest, the forests of Umn Tsav are home to countless nomadic Umni tribes. These simple hunters and gatherers have no metalworking. Most Umni tribes are peaceful, but some are territorial or even warlike. Umni tend to be short and strongly built, with deep bronze skin, dark eyes, and black hair.
North of Hellumar lies the great Borean Archipelago, largely unexplored by Thuleans. A strange people known as the Hyperboreans lived there once, but ice covered those lands long ago. A few surviving Hyperborean
clans linger in Hellumar, and sometimes individuals visit the temple city of Akal-Amo. They are exceedingly tall—often 7 feet or more—and fair-skinned, lean and lanky, with yellow or white hair and pale eyes.
