Humans

Humans primarily exist on the core realm of Xaekla alongside a number of other ancestries, they could be found anywhere in most regions and on all the continents. They were able to easily adapt to their surrounds and so they were seen as one of the more valuable ancestries to have on your side as one of the exusians. They did not specialize in anything like the elves with socialization or the dwarves with crafting and stonecarving, but they were jacks of all trade's, able to do anything but specialize in nothing. Though some humans were reptuable artisans, the vast majority were commonry working farmlands and doing other forms of manual labor.

## Description

Humans could stand between 4 to 6 feet tall, with women averaging on the shorter end of 5'2 to 5'5 and men averaging around 5'6 to 6'0. They vary in width, strength, and dexterity with most being charismatic but there being those whom are not. The different subspecies/ethnicities of humans had a standard number of eye, hair, and skincolors that were common amoung the group as well as a shared culture and often a differing language from those in other regions or on other continents. In general humans have hair that varies in length and texture, colored brown, black, ginger, or blonde. Their eyes are generally brown, blue, grey, green, or hazel and their skintone ranges from fair to dark. Around 30 to 40 years of age humans will begin developing wrinkles on their faces and hands, and will experiance greying of the hair which gradually becomes more and more extreme.

### Origin

Humans were, despite contrary belief, not created by the exusians as many of the other ancestries were or at least did not descend from one of the first several ancestries made by the exusians. They evolved from orangutans, chipanzees, bonobos, and gorillas sometime in the past several million years. As such they are the youngest ancestry in all the realms and least experianced culturally and socially compared to the other ancestries which have been around for much, much longer. Because of this humans are often seen as lesser than their more magically imbued counterparts, though their nations are still relatively successful, humans find it difficult to fight off ancestries like the dwarves whom are organized, well equipt, knowledgable, and allied with the elvish ancestry. Though they were not an intended creation of the exusians, there have been many that have taken up the mantle of being a "human god" taking the form of a human and largely targeting them as their primary audience for worshippers.
