Human
It took ten thousand years, but humanity has largely conquered Rûl. Humans spread across the continent with only few regions denied to them. Theirs is the history of these lands; their triumphs and defeats, their advances and setbacks, became the signature events that have shaped the world since their coming. Humans are a people driven to make the most of their lives, to make better the world they find for the ones who come after. They are builders and makers, creators and inventors, courageous, devoted, and often good.
They can also be selfish, never satisfied with what they have. They are tribal in nature, taking comfort in the purpose that comes from shared identity. They look beyond themselves for direction, inventing gods and dogma to point their lives toward a meaning they can accept. They are fearful. Death is their constant companion, taking their hands from birth and walking alongside them until their turn on the wheel of life is done.
More than any other people found on Urth, humans are the most conflicted, the most paradoxical. They can achieve such wonders and yet can be capable of unspeakable horror. They love with a fierceness matched only by their hate. Most have strong ties to their people, whether those people be religious, political, or familial, but are quick to level a suspicious eye at others who don’t fully share their values, beliefs, or ideals. Humans kill more humans than do the monsters raging across the countryside, the demons that, on occasion, slither free from the Void, or the hordes of Beastmen that prey on farms and isolated towns. And it is humanity that is most responsible for the darkness that seeks to smother the world and drag it wholly into the Void.
