Humans (Wildemount)
HUMANS
The most populous race i n Wildemount, humans define
common culture across the continent. Their unrelenting
ambition creates societies that aggressively pursue productivity
while valuing leisure, and their short life spans
often lead humans to romanticize the ugly past and fear
the unknown future.
HUMANS IN THE DWENDALIAN EMPIRE
In the Dwendalian Empire, humans are everywhere and
occupy every walk of imperial life.
Humans recoil from the unknown in ways that
longer-lived folk do not, and nations dominated by a
nonhuman majority are a tremendous source of fear and
suspicion to human-majority nations. Human survival
instinct stokes the flames of fear, especially when those
flames are amply fueled by nationalistic propaganda.
Such is the relationship between the Dwendalian Empire
and the draw-majority Kryn Dynasty of Xhorhas.
Other societies-including Uthodurn's pluralistic society
of elves and dwarves-are less maligned. However
this is because the average citizen of the empire knows
nothing about those societies, reducing them to objects
of curiosity for imperial scholars.
HUMANS ON THE MENAGERIE COAST
Within the Clovis Concord, humans are seen as adept
diplomats, nation builders, and loyal soldiers. They
are the most populous people of the Menagerie Coast,
but ever since the founding of the Clovis Concord, that
nation has been one defined by its diversity. Although
other nations of Wildemount and the world might consider
humans to be the definitive, adaptable jacks-of-alltrades,
the people of the Concord know that all folk have
this capacity.
HUMANS IN XHORHAS
Humans are rare in Xhorhas, and those found within
that land typically belong to wandering clans or are
soldiers of the Dwendalian Empire. Aside from such
soldiers, humans are not viewed with inherent suspicion
by most Xhorhasians, but the war between the Kryn
Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire has made Xhorhas
an even more dangerous land for all human travelers.
Dark elves and monsters that might treat a wandering
human with caution elsewhere are likely to attack on
sight in Xhorhas, because they know that an imperial
human will do the same to them.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
While some half-human races exist in the Players Handbook, I was always disappointed with the lack of genetic diversity... It is hard to believe that humans only mate outside of their race either with elves or orcs. To remedy this, I have provided an option for creating your very own unique half-breed, and if humans aren't your thing you can mix and match what feels like the most fun to you.
That being said, if you still want to play a human, you may choose either the standard human or the Variant Human options out of the Players Handbook.
