The númrans1 are a predominantly human inhabitants of Númra, a republic in central Rúþría in the northern Southlands. The majority of númrans are descended from Berekríans from southwestern Jælondis who first colonized the area around the capital New Falas, along with various other human ethnic groups who migrated from Jútrilía and the Maralon Steppe, particularly during and after the Fell Wars which destroyed much of those regions.
Aside from humans, númrans are among the world's most diverse ethnic groups, with members of virtually all sapient species and cultures of Borgalor representing over two-thirds of the population, most of whom live in the cities.
Most dishes are based on a mixture of fish, offal or meat (usually pearl-hen, blueheads, mutton, horse or pork) and vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, Mandrakes, onions and garlic, often stewed, fried or grilled and served with flatbread, dumplings, yogurt or small chunks of drained buttermilk. Sausages, pigeon pies and various kinds of deep-fried dough are popular as well.
Common drinks include soured or fermented milk and yogurt-based beverage similar to our world's ayran, fruit juices, wine and Fizzies, with apple cider and perry being mostly consumed during religious ceremonies.

Culture
Apparel
Númran clothing is similar to that worn by Þagralíans and other humans from Jútrilía and to lesser extent Maralon Steppe, though overall more casual and influenced by various different styles from all over Borgalor, particularly among the younger generation. Jeans woven from cottonsedge are common along with more traditional baggy, colourful woolen trousers, as are short-sleeved belted tunics, sometimes hooded.Cuisine
Traditional númran diet is based on dumplings and flatbread, meat, seafood and dairy, similarly to that of the berekríans and other human jútrilían cultures, but has since developed into some of the most diverse cuisines in Borgalor as the númrans gradually incorporated new ingredients and cooking techniques introduced by immigrants from all over the world. In turn, númran food has recently become quite popular throughout Borgalor, particularly fast foods such as meat pies and bread bowls.Most dishes are based on a mixture of fish, offal or meat (usually pearl-hen, blueheads, mutton, horse or pork) and vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, Mandrakes, onions and garlic, often stewed, fried or grilled and served with flatbread, dumplings, yogurt or small chunks of drained buttermilk.

Sports
Archery, horse racing, wrestling (both on foot and on horseback) and polo are the most popular sports in Númra. While not a traditional sport, horse archery introduced by maralonean immigrants has risen in popularity in recent years.Religion While númrans adhere to a number of different faiths and philosophies, the influence of berekro-númran polytheism can be seen in many aspects of daily life, including holidays, festivals and common phrases, and sacred groves of apple-, pear- and crabapple trees are found in every major town and city.
