Humans

Humans are mostly coastal dwelling anthropomorphs found on most waterfronts of Welt. 
== Physiology ==
Humans are a race of apes of average height and build compared to more prolific races of Welt such as orcs. They are also relatively hairless compared to other apes save for the head. They do however tend to grow short beards. 
Their hands and feet are slightly webbed, to help with swimming and have wrinkles to help with their grip when spending sufficient time in water. Their anatomy is built to sustain a steady group pace, which helps in their hunting technique which revolves around exhausting the prey.
== Culture ==
Humans are natural swimmers, and most live in small fishing villages. Some settlements are considerably more advanced. Small cities of shipbuilders, divers and consummate sailors are typical of humans. They sometimes gather and farm seaweed near the shore.
== Hunting ==
Humans are known for being imaginative and crafty hunters.
Humans are coastal hunters. Humans usually hunt by wading through shallow water, sometimes venturing into open ocean for spear hunting larger fish. They hunt using tools, such as spears for fish and rocks to crack open shellfish and sea urchins. They frequently cry to remove salt from their eyes so as not to distract themselves while hunting.
Humans are also persistence hunters, who will chase down prey to exhaustion over the course of several hours to make a kill. 
While seafood is a large part of their diet, humans are also endurance hunters on land. Human persistence hunters work by hunting in the middle of the day, when it is hottest. Hunters choose a single target prey and chase it at a speed between its trot and gallop, which is extremely inefficient for the animal. The hunter then continues pursuing over a period of hours, during which he may lose sight of the animal. In this case, the hunter must use tracks and an understanding of the animal to continue the chase. The prey eventually overheats and becomes unable to continue fleeing.
It is common practice for humans to hunt from one body of water to another, to the point that some tribes maintain trade this way, chasing an animal to another tribe's territory, so it may have fresh quarries without needing to hunt it far away from their settlements.
== Relation to the other races ==
Humans are considered the best navigators of all Welt, with peerless knowledge on shipbuilding. Making them invaluable for trading across the seas.
Humans have a strenuous relationship with sea mammals. They often compete with Orcas and dolphins for resources, but sometimes socialize and cooperate with the latter. They frequently worship whales, but also hunt them. Their greatest predators are hippopotamus, which they sometimes hunt.
