Humankind

**Humankind** refers to Alnusian humans, a highly adaptable species that inhabits the world of Alnus. Among all living humanoid species, humankind is the most populous, having numerous ethnicity that boast their own cultural heritage.

## History

Ever since the dawn of recorded history, thousands of years ago, the history of humankind has been inseparable from the history of Alnus itself.

According to the **Book of Praises**, Humans were one of the seven intelligent beings, entrusted by **The Goddesses** as the successors to the world of Alnus. Although not as powerful as their predecessors, humans are bestowed with unparalleled adaptability and flexibility, enabling them to survive in the most adverse conditions.

Studies and research on prehistory goes hand in hand with the teachings of the Three, that there were Ancient Bestial Civilization and Dragons that predated human existence by thousands of years. The vestiges of this ancient beast race became a focal point of popular theories for the existence of both humankind and Felpars. Some researchers postulated that humankind and Felpars were both descendants of the ancient beast race, that Felpars would eventually lose their bestial traits and becoming more humanlike.

Regardless of their many origin theories, humans have always been a major force that stood at the forefront and shaped the history of Alnus.
