Brightkin - Humans

The humans of Sildair are by far the most widespread race, and also the most numerous. They make up the majority of the population in all the major kingdoms, and most of the minor ones too. In the Silver Epoch, most of them consider themselves the true inheritors of Sildair, as the other First Races are either settled in small Kingdoms, or completely disappeared.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Human biology is much the same as in our world, with the main difference being the potential for extending life through magic. While this is available to all creatures of Sildair, it is the only way Brightkin humans deviate from us humans of Earth, and so the most important to mention here. If a person has their life extended by magic, by continuously healing diseases and injuries, humans are capable of living for up to 250 years. How their physique changes during this time depends greatly on the individual, but most people will both appear outwardly very old, and feel so inwardly, when they reach 120 years. Some few legendary characters, such as Asgal the Golden, may continue to both appear and feel relatively youthful for their entire lifespan, though the magic required is probably going to be more powerful than is available to even the greatest and richest rulers of the Silver Epoch. Normally living beyond 150 years becomes untenable, regardless of how much healing magic can be mustered, as the rigors of old age become constant and overwhelming. Humans mature physically at around age 18, and their natural lifespan is between 65 and 85 years.
