Human females are often more slender than their male counterparts, but human physiques are highly varied.

### Religion

The major faith in human society is a following of the Church of the Holy Light. Higher ranking members within the faith often chose to become paladins, priests, or monks. Many humans follow other religions, or no religion at all. There are some humans, (often highly integrated within Elf society,) who follow the druidic faiths of Quel' Drasil.

The human realm, especially the Ellanor wilds, are populated with hundreds of semi-self governed faction states. These factions can range in size from quite small, with a population of only a few members, to large towns with a population in the hundreds.

### Human Realm

The largest of the realms is defined as the "Realm of Humankind" or "Human Realm." The human realm was once dominated almost completely by the Tiefling, before humanity seemingly sprung up from no where about 9,000 years Before the Modern Era *(B.M.E.)* The geography and weather of the Human Realm is the most varying.
