Human

Humans are one of the most common species of Erah, and can be found in most parts of the world. There are a number of human subspecies, as well as ethnicities.

Humans reach maturity in their late teens, and live to be around a century old.

## Myths

Humans of different lands have vastly different, often conflicting mythological cycles, and their myths are honestly too many to list here. To learn about the myths of humans, look at the pages of the various gods of the world. The myths relating to each deity can be found there, and most gods are worshipped by one group of humans or another on Erah.

## Lands

The original homeland of humans is generally assumed to be the Southern Continent. The people of the Northern Continent are confirmed by still living ancient creatures from that time as having come from there. It is believed that humans from Saugland came to the Eastern Continent in ages past, and from there settled the eastern isles, and later the Western Continent. Of course, this theory has people who disagree with it, with those on the Eastern Continent often claiming it to be the original homeland of humanity, claiming the elusive tcho-tcho as evidence of this, and some claim that the ancestors of humans originally came from the Northern Continent due to the presence of neanderthals there. The humans of the Western Continent claim that their gods shaped them from the maize that grows near the Tecan Desert, and that the humans of other lands were formed by their own gods from other cereals.

While the ultimate origin of humans is still debated, they call just about every region of Erah home.

## Culture

Humans have incredibly varied cultures depending on where they're from, with the variation being equal to those shown by various subspecies of other notably common species, such as dwarves, elves, and halflings. As such, it would be impractical to describe them all here.

## Evolution

Humans are closely related to a number of other species. Many species with "half-" in their name are often of human descent, and many tieflings, aasimar, and genasi are also of human descent. There are also a number of human subspecies, such as the Aventi and azurin peoples, who arose through various means. From them, a number of other species, such as the merfolk arose. Certain groups of humans, such as the Vasharan people, claim to be separate from the rest of humanity, but only the gods know if this is truly the case.

Humans are closely related to neanderthals, as well to the tcho-tcho people, to the point they are all generally considered part of a wider human species. It is thought that the Kogolor dwarves are descended from an earlier branch of humanity, but that is little more than pure speculation at this point.

The Ancient Grruuk, the ancestors of a number of other species including giants and oozes, were originally reincarnations of the souls of the worst humans to ever exist in ancient times, and as such, there is a connection to those species as well.

Modern humans generally have some dragonblood and giantblood as well, though generally not enough to count as dragonblooded or giantblooded creatures. The proportions differ based on regions, with dragonblood being most common on the eastern continent, and giantblood being most common on the northern and southern continents.
