Human

Adaptable and ambitious, Humans thrive in the diverse tapestry of the Realms, forging their destinies with a keen eye for opportunity. They can be found in every clime, from the frozen glaciers of the Northern Walls to the burning desert of Ramiidia. They live and thrive where no other civilization can take root.

Many other ancestries view Humans with some trepidation. They point out the Humans' clannish nature, and their tendency to turn against those who are different simply because they are different. They note the Humans' aggressiveness, their willingness to clash even among themselves, and their hierarchal nature.

But even the most jaded intellect can admit that Humans are incredibly versatile and adaptable. They have been described as “everybody's second-best friend.” Despite their fractious nature, Humans are often willing to put their differences aside to reap a common benefit, and if they are opportunistic, they can also be remarkably altruistic.
