Human (Race of Man)

The most common form of Man, created at the dawn of the 4th Age by the principal deities of the Church of the Twelve and One and their kin, primarily Athena and Prometheus, Humans have granted their name as the collective term for all other Races of Man. Among the most prolific breeders, fastest growing, and most adaptable of the Races of Man, Humans have spread far and wide across the planet of Gaea and can be found in some capacity on every continent. They are the only Race of Man with a counterpart on Earth, where they are the dominant species. Gaean Humans are marked by their highly mutable Mana, allowing them to quickly adapt to the ambient magical energies of an area, giving rise to new ethnic groups with distinct features and properties with a generation or two.
Human culture's wide distribution and great influence have impacted cultures and societies of all other Races of Man and most Monsters as well, due in no small part to the method by which the other primary Races of Man were produced in the current Age; reincarnation through the offspring of the first Humans. This means that Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings, as well as later forms of Man such as Aasimar, Tieflings, Dhampir, Genasi, Half-Orcs, Elflings, Alaveela, Half-Elves, Hagspawn, Turnskins, Galateans, and the like are all ultimately descended from Humans through Deucalion and Pyrrha.
The language normally known as Common, Koine, is a Human language rooted in the speech of the Olympian Gods and serves as the planet's most widely-used trade language.
