Humans

**Humans** are the most common member of their entire group, and are the fastest growing and most numerous species in both Rathnir and Eldham.

## Origins

Humans are not native to Rathnir and Eldham, their presence in Rathnir occurred through two great migrations. The first migration was around 10'000 BTE from the east is that of the Nirites from Hidgam, and they spread over the coasts and islands, avoiding the hinterland. The second migration was made by the Jagdasians from the north in 1 TE, and unlike the Nirites they also entered the hinterland of the Rathnir regions, with the arrival of the Jagdasians the first big cities began to appear.

## Ethnic Groups

Due to the wide spread distribution of humans various ethnic groups and cultures have been formed. The following is not a complete list as such a thing is impossible, but it should give an idea of the variety:

### Nirites

All human ethnic groups prior to 1 TE are of Niritic origin and come from one of these eight patriarchs and their macrogroups.

* **Shurites** - They are the sons of Shur, eighth son of Nir, they are present in Plagos and Khanji, together with the Daphimites they were the first to have contact with the Jagdasians.
* **Nevites** - They are the children of Nev, firstborn of Nir, they settled in northwest of Nieden. They built a city which today is known by the name of Raykara, unfortunately the ancient name is no longer known. Their presence in the region disappeared after a few millennia because the Niedene people attacked and conquered their city and the Nevites emigrated to Plagos joining the Shurites.
* **Daphimites** - They are the sons of Daphim, the fourth son of Nir. Their presence is found in the regions of Syltör and Helmia. Together with the Shurites they were the first to have contact with the Jagdasians.
* **Kadites** - They are the sons of Kad, second son of Nir. They are present in the Alteniquia region, they were immediately on good terms with the local populations mainly with the elves from the south of the region.
* **Luthites** - They are the sons of Luth, third son of Nir. Their presence is in Sparwood, mainly in the north and west of the region due to the mountains to the east.
* **Naridites** - They are the sons of Narid, fifth son of Nir. They are present in the regions of Haven and Ummarnu, the only large city made by the Nirites in Haven was built by Kush son of Narid, today only a column remains which recalls the location of the city.
* **Nurites** - They are the sons of Nur, seventh son of Nir. They are present in the north of the Sørligste region.
* **Arphidites** - They are the sons of Arphid, sixth son of Nir. They are present in the Cymru region.

### Jagdasians

They are the original human peoples of Jagdas who migrated to Rathnir in 1 TE.

* Audalad - A group of humans that migrated from the Yimmu-Audal of Jagdas.
* Irilani - A desert people from the Free Territory of Iringa that migrated to from Jagdas to Rathinr around 1 TE.
* Krobuny - A millenium old group originating from Jagdas that migrated to what known today as Rathnir, Nieden. They are known for preservativeness and pacifism and scholarship.
* Oceanum - A Tall and large people, they have migrated into Oceanum from Jagdas in 1 TE.
