Human

Humans are arguably the most common race found in the *Far Lands*, making up a majority of the population occupying various settlements around Azura, but mostly within the Trepheon Major.

Human-Elf halfbreeds are called Half-Elves.

Human-Orc halfbreeds are called Half-Orcs.

## *Anatomy*

The humans are the most varying of all races, differing in sizes and ethnicity, such as the Easterners and the Westerners. Historically, Humans are thought to have been much more fair in height. Some currently living humans have been documented to exceed 6'0, but this stresses out the human structure and leads to a shortened lifespan and other disadvantages.

## *Psychology*

Humans typically share varying thought and beliefs. It is this thought that often leads to conflict, but it's the independence that makes them unique and breeds their identity as a race in Azura. Often, they adopt regional thought, or achieve their own through personal experience. This "rough" and adaptable psychology leads them to their ability to achieve almost anything in their path.

## *History*

Humans, at the dawn of their existence, settled in a peninsula in Trepheon, of which early archivists believe to have been gifted by the Spirits. They prospered in this land even more so when the spirits had made contact. These mythical beings constructed temples and portals to share knowledge and wealth, allowing humans to visit other realms. This ushered in a time of prosperity and advancement, with a grand city known as Dormia being constructed in the Great Southern Plains. This locale would go on to become the wasteland desert.

They are also known to have existed in early Human history on the plains of Ludwag, surviving as nomadic tribes in the savannas as hunter-gatherers.

In modern times, humans carry more tension to each other due to varying political and moral environments, often with war or skirmishes breaking out due to race or greed.

## *Ethnicities*

### Carodeissan

A racial title named after the crowning architectural achievement that is the Golden City of the West, Carodeissan humans have lighter hair, a darker olive complexion, and a generally broader body build. After the Leviathan destruction of the city of Carodeissa, the Western Trephian populace was spread further into Trepheon, but a group made a joint escape to Ludwag alongside a Shijonian party. They have since made home in Ludwag, among the Lattish populace.

### Centralian

A somewhat uninspired name for the people of central Trepheon, the humans of central Trepheon are fair-skinned, dark-haired, dark-eyed, and somewhat genetically 'simple' in comparison to their Ludwagian or Western counterparts. Unlike the Western or Eastern Trephian humans, the Centralians are not too present on Ludwag due to a long and conflict-ridden history. Though, it is not unheard of that a Centralian human ends up anywhere in the world.. somehow.

### Dormian

The genetically pure derivative from the original Dormian humans graced by the Spirits, these humans, darker in almost every sense, from their eyes and hair to their skin, were present across the southern territories of Trepheon, before the collapse of Dormia and the rise of the three main Kingdoms. Genetically, Dormians have become a rarity in the world, but it isn't unheard of for them to be seen every once in a while.

### Monic

The Ludwagian native humans, the Mons people bare simple-colored hair but colorful eyes, and are generally more fit and metabolic in comparison to their Trephian counterparts due to their more tribal history. The Monic populace is split among two core groups on Ludwag, the Nix and the Lattish, and while both are generally similar genetically, both are vastly different culturally.

### Shijonian

Known commonly as Easterners or East Trephians both inside of and outside of Trepheon, the people of Shijon have more olive skin, narrowed faces and eyes, and much darker hair, and are somewhat shorter than their Western counterparts. The Shijonian populace has been divided into two, with a good portion of the Shijonians making an exodus to Ludwag after the Leviathan attacks on Trepheon, and have since integrated into Lattish and Silvic populaces.
