Human

While the elves and the dwarves were the first races to claim lands in the world of Doivis, the versatile race of the humans were the ones to survive and dominate. Left unchecked, their numbers quickly grew. It was their adaptable nature and adventurous mindset that quickly led them to expand beyond their homelands. By the time the great kingdoms of the elves and the mighty thanedoms of the dwarves realized the violence that inevitably follows the humans, it was already too late. The eyes of the human leaders fell greedily on the prosperous lands of the elves and dwarves. Before too long, the humans had expanded and conquered across the planet, decimating the weaker factions and races in their path, with the Omarian Empire as the forefront of the expansion. The Great Purge had begun, and the humans were here to stay.
The human race emerged victorious after countless generations of bloodshed that changed Ylandra forever. In victory, they showed little mercy to the elder races. They entirely dismantled the elven kingdoms, pushing them deeper in the forests. They drove dwarves from their homelands, forcing them to hide deep beneath the mountains. The humans would have stopped at nothing, if not for the great collapse. A huge portion of the planet was instantly annihilated, and along with it, the heart of humanity. The blast from the impact of the meteorite swept through most of the planet, leaving only Ylandra as a stable and functioning place for plant life and sustainability.
Soon the remnants of humanity fled to Ylandra, and swept through the tribes and natives of the land, leaving none alive in their ravaging path. Having exterminated all other opposition, the warlords turned against each other, each claiming the High Throne that would later become the Imperial Throne of Omaria. This second Great Era, known as the Era of Descent, lost even more lives to its endless carnage. The result was the disintegration of the human race into fractious kingdoms. The Second Era considerably weakened the kingdoms of the humans, allowing the other races to emerge from hiding and re-establish some principalities in the lands they once ruled.
To this day, humans are considered the dominant race across all of Ylandra, controlling most of the land and sea. Having shorter lives to live than the other races, their old hatreds have faded, and they are now more receptive to other races. But elves and dwarves live long, and can hold a grudge even longer.
