Humans

The most numerous humanoids in the entirety of Sera, humans are divided into a variety of factions. Humans are extremely diverse, putting orcs and dwarves to shame with how many petty rivalries and grievances can be found between individuals. Attitudes and physiques of every type can be found in at least one specimen, such that it is impossible to easily categorize humans into anything more specific than "homo sapiens sapiens." Considering their tendency to split apart over absurd grudges, it may be surprising to learn that humans were the ones to spearhead the Alliance offensives against Matok's followers in the Great War, in particular the Kingdom of Decia.   Phobias of mages is common in many human cultures, and most human societies lack the technological and/or magical sophistication of the dwarven and elven societies, respectively. The character of government officials, businessmen, and soldiers, can vary as wildly in quality as their cultures do, yet this lends a great flexibility to their species, especially useful considering how humans have a tendency to construct large civilizations and infrastructure that will likely last beyond their lifetimes.
