Humans

The first human settlers came to Khorvaire about 3,000 years ago, landing in the area now known as the Lhazaar Principalities. From there, they began a slow but inexorable spread across the continent, disrupting the placid elven empire of Aerenal and leaving further ruined remnants of fallen Dhakaani goblin kingdoms in their wake.  During this migration, they founded the settlements that would grow into the Five Nations. Even today humans make up the majority of the population in these countries. Despite their relatively short lifespans-or perhaps because of them-humans are innovative, adaptable, and aggressive, always pushing their limits and pursuing new ideas. Humans prove extremely diverse; a barbarian from the Demon Wastes has little in common with a Brelish rogue. When creating a human character, consider where you're from and how that's reflected in your class and background.  Aundair is a logical place of origin for a wizard character, but your wizard could be a down-and out arcanist from the alleys of Sham or a Lhazaar pirate with a knack for the mystic arts.
