Civilization and Culture
History
Humans, known as Anthro'quessir in Elvish, are the youngest race in this world, created by the god Urbanus. Unlike other races, humans were designed to thrive through their adaptability, ambition, and short lifespans, which drive their rapid innovation and expansion.
Initially, humans were scattered, forming small, nomadic tribes. Their adaptability allowed them to settle in diverse environments, from fertile valleys to harsh deserts. These early tribes worshipped Urbanus, seeking his guidance in building their first settlements.
Human society rapidly evolved due to their insatiable curiosity and drive. They established villages, towns, and eventually sprawling cities, each becoming a hub of culture and commerce. Urbanus blessed them with a unique versatility, leading to diverse professions and rapid technological advancements.
Humans are characterized by their physical diversity, with skin tones, hair colors, and builds varying widely due to their penchant for migration and intermingling with other races. Their cultural expressions are equally varied, from intricate tattoos and body piercings to flamboyant clothing and hairstyles.
Humans' ambition has made them the most populous and influential race in many regions. Their cities are centers of politics, learning, and trade. Despite their short lifespans, which rarely exceed a century, humans leave lasting legacies through their achievements in architecture, governance, and magic.
