Human
Humans were not the first race to claim lands in the world of Etharis but they are the most dominant. They emerged from the temperate forests in the centre of the continent now known as the Bürach. Nowadays they inhabit everywhere from the frozen tundra to the North, all the way to the scorched plains of the South. They did this by entering what is known as either the Era of Expansion, or The Great Purge depending how favourably you look upon it as a part of history. The Era only ended as a result of the infighting as various warlords turned against each other trying to claim the High Throne that would later become the Imperial Throne of Altenheim. This second Era was known as the Era of Descent and weakened the kingdoms of the humans enough for the other races to emerge from hiding and re-establish some principalities in the lands they once ruled.
Things to Note:
- Humans are the most common race and reside everywhere in Etharis.
- Some people, those of the Elder Races especially, have a disdain or even hatred of Humans because of the Era of Expansion.

Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Having so much more variety than other cultures, humans as a whole have no typical names. Some parents give their children names from other languages, such as Dwarvish or Elvish (pronounced more or less correctly), but most parents give names that are linked to their region's culture or to the naming traditions of their ancestors.
