Humans

Humans arrived later in the world of Orbis, as there is very little to no mention of them during the Age of Ancients. They are among one of the shorter-lived races in comparison to races like dwarves and elves. Perhaps it is because of their shorter lifespans that they strive to achieve as much as they can, or have had a history of trying to gain power no mortal should have.

A Broad Spectrum
With their penchant for migration, humans are more physically diverse than any of the other common races to be found. There is no typical image of a human, as some stand 5ft tall, while others are well over 6ft. Dark skin, pale skin. Long hair, short hair or even no hair. Depending on the human’s heritage and landscape determines their features, while some can have their lineage splashed with hints of the Ancient races like elves or lux.

Variety in All Things
Humans are a prime example of adaptability and ambition. They have wildly varying tastes, morals and customs in many parts of Orbis. Like the slave traders of Nehekhara are brought up to be strong and unflinching, while humans in Sengoku are taught to be honourable and compassionate. Humans live fully in the present, they don’t have time to dwell on the past or think on the future, which is why you see so many of the exploring the world and becoming adventures. Unearthing secrets beneath the earth.

Examples of Ambition
Humans who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of a daring and ambitious race. They seek to earn glory, power, wealth and fame for all sorts of reasons. Some to earn their concrete place in the world among the old races, others to seek life after death or to cheat it entirely.
