Human

"I've tasted every race on Adurra, from halflings to half-orcs, and I think I like human best. I count myself lucky there are just so many of the morsels!" -The Red Dragon Urr'ozz, Scourge of the Ghenish Reach.
Humans are by far the most common, and populous race on the Free Coast. Most city states are ruled by human families, and most subjects live under human lords. The sheer number of humans forces other races into isolationism, and in recent years humans have earned the distrust of elfikind in the wars with Densport. Human culture varies heavily from city to city, and is viewed as much more dynamic than that of other races. This variety is likely due to the sheer number of individuals, and cities within human society.
Above all humans are builders. They build cities, roads, bridges, ships, institutions, and governments. The greatest pride among human historians is the legacy of their forerunners "The Architects." These early ancestors are said to have built the vast, and long lasting highways that now connect the many cities of the Free Coast. With the importance of human works so too comes a degree of pride and ethnocentrism. Members of other races often complain of poor treatment, racism, and overall ethnocentrism when visiting human cities. To further compound this alienation humans are currently the only race that maintains the practice of slavery, with many elves and humans alike under the yoke. This dubious reputation has made humankind a rather unpopular race among non-humans, though their power cannot be denied.
