Physical Description
Humans typically stand from 1m60 to a little over 1m80 tall and weigh from 55 to 100 kilograms, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Thanks to their penchant for migration and conquest, and to their short life spans and constantly changing cultures, humans are more physically diverse than other common races. Their skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, their hair from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight) and their facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Plenty of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, and they may demonstrate hints of elf, orc, or other lineages. Members of this race are often ostentatious or unorthodox in their grooming and dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, body piercings, and the like. Humans have short life spans, reaching adulthood at around age 15, and rarely living even a single century.

Relations
Just as readily as they mix with each other, humans mix with members of other races, among which they are known as "everyone's second best friends." Humans serve as ambassadors, diplomats, magistrates, merchants, and functionaries of all kinds


Alignment
Humans tend toward no particular alignment, not even neutrality. The best and the worst are found among them.


Human Lands
Human lands are usually in flux, with new ideas, social changes, and new leaders constantly coming to the fore. Members of longer-lived races find human culture exciting but eventually a little wearying or even bewildering. Since humans lead such short lives, their leaders are all young compared to the political, religious, and military leaders among the other races. Even where individual humans are conservative traditionalists, human institutions change with the generations, adapting and evolving faster than parallel institutions among the other races. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay on top of changing political dynamics. Human lands generally include relatively large numbers of nonhumans (compared, for instance, to the number of non-dwarves who live in dwarven lands)

Religion
Some humans are the most ardent and zealous adherents of a given religion, while others are the most impious people around. The dominant dieties are however, is Michellus, Crown of the Gods, and his daughter Tharitsia, Goddess of Life.

Language
Humans speak Common. They typically learn other languages as well, including obscure ones.
