Human

The humans of Iromendia are both numerous and thriving, with kingdoms and duchies and small settlements scattered from shore to steppes and from icy vastness to searing sands. Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for the ages and great kingdoms that can persist for long centuries. An individual human might have a relatively short life span, but a human nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single human’s memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics.

Zoashinese Races (Humans of Nijina, Kagayakiji)

Senshinogo

The humans of Senshino pride themselves as the strongest nation of Nijina after the collapse of the Zaoshin Kingdom. They're known for their fighting style of Nomachi, which adopts the use of Omachi style blades that are hiltless. The walled castletown of Arasaha is the capital, the people aren't inclusive of many entering their walled city. Largely due to the young ruler, Zhogumurai Miyara of the Isaki Clan's legislatives that have brought abouts a stricter and more independent nation after the death of her well respected father, Zhogumurou Yoshi I Isaki who sought to open the realm to the other nations, and potentially reforming relationships with the other nations of Nijina. It's believed that Zhogumurai Miyara is swayed by her council who seek to build Senshino into a military power. Senshino's second most prominent town is that of Nakashi, which represents the more disconnected side of Senshino - they are more welcome to outsiders, though the Godurai are still prominent in this town - they are the warrior guards, armed with Omachi blades. Zhogumurai Miyara's paranoia extends beyond the walls, any sign of conflict from the other nations are gravely watched. The Senshinogo people of both Nakashi & Arasaha are hardened folk, numb to the constant influx of military presence, they maintain an industrious lifestyle. Trading equipment and wares, Senshinogo are known for the blacksmithing skills and their warrior power of the Godurai. The typical appearance for Senshinogo, is black and red attire - that in the style of traditional Japanese. Most Senshinogo have black hair.

Nishikaigani

The humans of Nishikaigan trace back their ancestry to being the first of the Zaoshinese to settle a fishing village on the western coast of Nijina called Mianqiu. They prospered due to the discovery of Shiroishi, a type of jewel similar to Pearls. It became increasingly popular during the height of the Zoashin Kingdom Era, before its collapse, it was a gift bestowed by Zo-Samah Shinohara Kinji to create foreign relations. His son, the decadent Zo-Samah Senri Kinji led the Kingdom to the brink of collapse by exhausting its supplies on the Shiroishi Pearls trade to continue his predecessors acts of generosity. It wasn't seen kindly by Zhogumurou Okawa Takafumi of Nishikaigani, who instigated the first rebellion against the Kinji Clan rule over Nijina.
Nishikaigan have benefitted the most out of the other nations after the collapse of the Zoashin Kingdom. Despite the value of the Shiroishi Pearls being in decline, the capital port city of Mianshu holds the main trade route from Nijina to Dalbitha & Bel-Kadir - which has seen its commerce thrive, with plentiful markets - it's the busiest city in Nijina.
The typical appearance for Nishikaigani is unlike the other nations. Their intent on disconnecting themselves from the Zoashin ways has seen their fashion evolve to adapt other cultures from the likes of Cyresians & Kadiran. Though, nobles whom hold their family roots close tend to still adopt the traditional wear of kimonos and typical Zoashinese (Japanese) style clothing for formal occasions.
