Human

The Children of Giants

"They arn't the strongest, and certainly not the wisest folk... but damn if they are not the fucking hardest to kill off"
-From the lips of a very talkative Wyrm.
The distant decedents of The Finach, more commonly known as The Giant folk. Humanity were once the dominant people in The-Realm-before, their continuation now lays in question within the shattered reminisce that remains. But they are a hardy and resilient folk. New clans rise across the shivering isles. Swords and axes are being sharpened. This broken people look forward to the cold hardship future with teeth bared.   Humans can be found on all of Vierda's islands from The Shieldwall to the rolling hills of Tol Vierda. They are adaptable and innovative. The chroniclers and druids speak of ancient empires ruled by humans, but such tales must be utter fantasy surely? Even humans are just one of many now, there bloodline becoming ever more muddled by the binding of all folk in such dark times.
