Humans

Like all the races of Oraereum humans are the product of the Gods' creation of the world. Each of the Gods created their own race in the image they themselves favored but Humans were the creation of all the Gods together. It was the one race that all the Gods worked upon and each God added a small piece of themselves to.

Humans in Oraereum

Personality

Just as all the gods helped create humans so to are their personalities varied. A human is kind, cruel, happy and sad everywhere in the world. The one thing all humans have in common is adaptability and resourcefulness. All humans strive to better their own situation or that of their community. Human cultures are as varied as their attitudes and humans have many traditions but each realm or area of human lands has their own practices and beliefs. To a human the greatest adventure is living in the moment. Since humans are relatively short lived compared to some of the other races in Oraereum they have a tendency to live for the moment and to throw caution to the wind.

Relations

Humans are generally greeted at best as close allies and at worst as unwelcome guests. Humans enjoy a sort of racial anonymity in the fact that no one race truly hates them. At least, no more than it hates all the others.

Alignment

Humans tend toward no particular alignment and can be as cruel as the most evil creatures are as kind as a saint.

Human Lands

Humans dwell in all the lands of Oraereum in some form or another and even in foreign lands or Dwarf fortresses you'd be hard pressed not to find at least 1 human. Humans are the most widespread race in all of the realms in Oraereum and their realms are easily the most numerous of all the major kingdoms.

Religion

Humans do not have a father or mother God since they were created by all the deities together. Therefore, their worship is as varied as their parentage. Almost all major cities have a patron deity however, and that deity is held above the others by the citizens of that city. But even then, most humans pay lip service to all but the most evil deities - at least in public.
