Humans

Culture and Cultural Heritage
There are many traits humans have, but one binds them in common. The human spirit is a powerful driving force. It leads them to constantly better themselves, to attain new heights and make the world a better place for themselves. What the true definition of that is, is up to that human and thus a variable rainbow of conflict, that marks their kind.

History
The humans are a very strange sort who were originally created not in the traditional manner that most races are, but rather created by the dragons. The intent of this creation was twofold. First, for the humans to be able to breed and multiply; and second, to be used as a sort of fodder force, one that would mitigate the constant struggle against the elves and other older races. During this time, the humans slowly began to develop their own various cultures as they were held captive in many different places where the dragons lived. But now humanity was faced with a very strange problem – they'd have to find their own place in a world not used to them. Humans could be of any walk of life, of any disposition and believe a whole matter of different believes. A human is just as likely to be your friend as they are just as likely to be your enemy and sometimes even both. Although they possess short life spans, they are able to accomplish so much that many other races hide a thin jealously of how they spend their lives.

Common Myths and Legends
Humans are capable of all manner of different forms of magic whether it be divine, arcane, primal, astral or any other variation of the different disciplines. This gave them the ability to stand out amongst the other races of the world. It is no surprise that humans are not strangers to war, they were bred to do so. Their experience in the subject, is rivaled by few and this experience and pure tenacity has led them to the current state of power and the grudging respect of the other races.
