Humans

**Humanity** or simply **Humans** are a race of intelligent, adaptable and versatile species native to Aiscoria. Humanity has participated in almost every major conflict known, having most of the time been a major contender. Humans are a diverse species as humanity is spread across all continents, their features include fair skin to white and many others due to geological locations. Humans stand at an averge of 5'10 to 6'5 for males and 5'6 to 5'10 for females.

## History

Humanity was a primal species with much potential, out of fear the Scyerians enslaved what humans they could find and used them as laborers and slaves to ensure they did possess a threat to the ever growing elven kingdom. During the First Invasion of Azzaha the Scyerian Empire used humans and many other species to fight their war for them as they were heavily outnumbered which evened the odds and eventually forced Azzaha's forces to break rank and end their invasion. In the initial stages of the war humans from across Aiscoria had worked in unison looking to break free of their captors, by the war's end humanity had rebeled and taken their elven lords by surprise. The Scyerian Empire was ill-equip to take on such a massive force on multiple fronts despite superior equipment and training due to their forces being depleted facing against Azzaha. Humanity would conquer 67% of the Scyerian Empire's territory with four months and establish kingdoms across their new found lands.

### The Rise of Nations & Humanity's Potential

The humans would raise massive kingdoms over the course of many years, however the first kingdom and considered to be the beacon of humanity was the Kingdom of Astheria. Astheria was named after Asher Wardenfell's birthname. Originally constructed to be the major Scyerian hub in the region, but was liberated from the elves by humanity. Now serving as the first major kingdom and pinnacle of humanity, the humans of Astheria would expand throughout the lands. While some would be established not by pioneers of the Kingdom of Astheria, some such as Eastoft and Icarus would be founded under the Astherians.

The following years would result in human expansion that surpassed even the Scyerians at the peak of their power, however lands claimed by both orc and elf halted this expansion. Skirmishes would [continuing]

### The Green War

Despite having established themselves as a major power on Aiscoria, their most rivaled enemy still lingered within their lands and was becoming a rising threat. The orc clans who had also once been slaves to the Scyerians had never left the lands humanity now called their home. The orcs had attempted rebellion before but were quelled and not until humanity's rebellion did they gain freedom, but unlike the humans, the orcs had remained primitive while some had advanced close to what humanity had but never truly there. The more advanced orcs had become a major issue to the kingdoms as raids often happened on outlying villages and cities. The orcs had established a military structure and a doctrine of war and had begun to lure more orcs under their banner. These Garthin Orcs had to be put down before they threatened every kingdom and humanity as a whole. The Kingdoms of Asalidan, Wardenfell and Emir united to begin a counter offensive that would be labeled as The Green War.

The three kingdoms struggled due to the hit and run tactics of the orcs atop their stronger physical forms which resulted in hundreds of deaths in the first month of the conflict alone. Eventually the Kingdom of Emir discovered their strategies and was able to defeat the orcs in combat, which resulted in the greenskins' alternative - Full out war. The war roared across the territories of the three kingdoms with many deaths on both sides. The war would continue for the next two months ending at the Battle for Whitebridge where Dragthal Garthimir, leader of the Garthin Orcs and Supreme Chief of the Clans was slain at the hands of Sir Fredrick Revheart of Wardenfell, thus shattering the morals of the orcs and cutting the head off all leadership the clans ever had. Without Garthimir the orcs would fall back into their primitive ways and return to fighting one another thus ending The Green War.
