Human

Describe Humans here.

And here.

And here again.

Among the first races created by the gods, humans represent the Neutral portion of the triangle, and thus they were gifted with the freedom to choose their own ethical and moral paths. Due to their short lifespans, humans are viewed by longer-lived races as ambitious and impatient, restless and dissatisfied with their lot in life. 

Humans live throughout Ansalon, with cultures so diverse that the differences between individual humans are as great as differences between elves and dwarves. A race of extremes, humankind keeps the great pendulum of history constantly swaying between good and evil, law and chaos.

Although each human culture differs from every other, a basic distinction can be made between so-called “civilized” human societies and the primitive, nomadic tribes. Both cultures believe their way of life to be superior to the other. City dwellers think of the nomads as ignorant savages, while the tribes-folk look upon city folk as soft and misguided.

Humans make up the largest population on Ansalon and, consequently, represent amazing diversity. Such people are difficult to define as a group, since each community has its own personality and appearance. Jolly innkeepers, surly blacksmiths, and cunning alley-rats may all be encountered on any street in any city or village of Ansalon.

Civilized characters choose skills and feats that allow them to excel in their chosen occupations. Only seasoned travelers worry about survival in the wilderness. Because they are so prolific and successful, human nations often come into conflict with other races. Despite such difficulties, many humans have worked throughout the ages to make peace with the other races-even as rival humans work to stir up conflict.
