Humans

Humans, a mid-race, once slaves of both the Essanti and the Vork, have managed to suppress the other races becoming the dominant species of Layeil. With no other races rising against them humankind eventually turned in upon itself. The four most powerful provinces are all ruled by human masters, being The Grand Republic, The Old Kingdoms Alliance, The Seradii Empire, and the oldest kingdom of all Serulia. One might argue Serulia is not ruled by a man but a former one as he is now a Lich.
