Ütherreichian Human

Humans make up almost the entirety of the Divine Ütherreich. The Ütherreich has gone through some tumultuous times recently, but overall, the reich shows great unity throughout its lands. Lands that are frequently swampy and hard to live in, but fertile. Being from the Ütherreich means you have to fight against the land itself to live, but you get great rewards for doing so.   Additionally, the vast majority of Ütherreichians are pious, as worship of the Divine Light is not only greatly encouraged, but essentially expected of all of its citizens.   Nearly every adult man and woman in the Ütherreich has served as a soldier for their lord or even for the Emperor's armies. Because of this, almost every adventurer originating from the reich has military training.
