Men

**Men** are one of four Races present in the world of **Tomia** and the most abundant. They are characterized by their bipedality, large and complex brains enabling the development of advanced tools, culture and language. They are highly social beings and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster society. Curiosity and the desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated Men’s development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of knowledge.

## Evolution

the earliest trace of Men are signs of arrowheads and fire, combined with skeletal records of ancient humans, tell us that many tribes used iron and stone to make tools.

## Culture

The Lurmian Empire is comprised of (currently King Harn) and his advisors. The King is selected by the Brotherhood of Men .In the Lurmian Empire ,nobles govern their own lands but the King rules above them. As a whole, education and stereotyping has turned Men into a race filled with Hatred towards Elves.

### Language

Unlike the limited systems of other animals, human language is open—an infinite number of meanings can be produced by combining a limited number of symbols. Human language also has the capacity of displacement, using words to represent things and happenings that are not presently or locally occurring but reside in the shared imagination of interlocutors. Currently, the Lurmian Empire is using Graven script.

### Arts

Human arts can take many forms including visual, literary and performing. Visual art can range from paintings and sculptures to film, interaction design and architecture. Literary arts can include prose, poetry and dramas; while the performing arts generally involve theatre, music and dance. Humans often combine the different forms. Other entities that have been described as having artistic qualities include food preparation, and medicine. As well as providing entertainment and transferring knowledge, the arts are also used for political purposes. The earliest trace of the arts was cave paintings in current day auduin, by prehistoric tribes.

Evidence of humans engaging in musical activities predates cave art and so far music has been practiced by virtually all known human cultures. There exists a wide variety of music genres and ethnic musics; with humans' musical abilities being related to other abilities, including complex social human behaviours. It has been shown that human brains respond to music by becoming synchronized with the rhythm and beat, a process called entrainment. Dance is also a form of human expression found in all cultures and may have evolved as a way to help early humans communicate. Listening to music and observing dance stimulates the orbitofrontal cortex and other pleasure sensing areas of the brain.

Unlike speaking, reading and writing does not come naturally to humans and must be taught. Still literature has been present before the invention of words and language, with 30,000-year-old paintings on walls inside some caves portraying a series of dramatic scenes. One of the oldest surviving works of literature is the Epic of Findor, first engraved on ancient tablets about 4,000 years ago. Beyond simply passing down knowledge the use and sharing of imaginative fiction through stories might have helped develop humans' capabilities for communication and increased the likelihood of securing a mate. Storytelling may also be used as a way to provide the audience with moral lessons and encourage cooperation.
