Human

Humans, (also referred to as humanity, mankind, humankind, and infrequently; womankind,) are a humanoid race and the dominant species on Orbis, responsible for the majority of civilised lands seen today.

Historians have often searched for the origins of humanity. The Human Epoch, the term used by historians to refer to the time which humanity has been the dominant force on the planet, has lasted at least six thousand years, with estimates of around twelve thousand years and up to thirty thousand years. The expansion of human civilisation saw the end of the Elven Epoch. It is presumed that humans lived in the world during the Elven Epoch but there are no records kept of this time. It is ultimately unknown when humanity came into existence.

Humans are the inventors of the Common Tongue, the road, stone buildings and steel weaponry. Humans often form themselves into collectives under a leadership hierarchy often topped with a king or emperor. All humans are capable of magic through intense study, though many choose not to dedicate themselves to this hard lifestyle.
