Villani
Of all the human tribes that populate the world, none have made so large as an impression as the Villani. Proud and meticulous the Villani were well positioned to rise to prominence among other human tribes for their cultural emphasis on lasting institutions.
From founding the first and longest running College of the Arcane on the continent to building a robust and long lasting network of roads that extends through their heartland of Mylon the VIllani have long prospered as a result of their diligence to continuing the legacy.
