Human

Humans are the most prominent race on Sulheim, having originated from the region that is now the Kingdom of Lacus Litore.   Humans, perhaps more than any other race, possess an incredible acuity for progression, expansion, and endurance. Though many civilizations thrived before humanity rose to prominence, humans have built some of the greatest and most powerful societies throughout the course of history.   Humans are known for their ambition, versatility, and exceptional potential in whatever task to which they set themselves. Many of them choose lives of adventure, seeking long lost treasure, exploring uncharted places. The freedom granted by the humans' incredible feats throughout history leads to their prosperous and continued growth.

Physical Description

The only thing more varied than the flora and fauna upon Sulheim are the physical characteristics of humans. Humans have a wide variety of skin and hair colors, body types, and facial features.   Humans reach physical adulthood around the age of 15, though mental maturity occurs a few years later. A typical human can live to be around 90 years old. Humans often intermarry with people of other Human ancestries, giving rise to children who bear the traits of both parents. The most notable half-humans are half-elves and half-orcs.

Society

Human societies vary depending upon the nation in which they reside. Unlike the longstanding traditions of elves and dwarves, the customs of humans are constantly in flux and always changing.  

Alignment and Religion

In all men lurks both good and ill. The nature of the human race runs the gamut from the purest souls to the wickedest madmen. Some humans feel at home on their own, while others feel a drive to create huge, sprawling families. As a whole, most humans are neutral, but tend to congregate into communities of a shared alignment. Humans also worship a wide range of gods and practice many different religions, tending to seek favor from any divine being they encounter.  

Names

Unlike many ancestral cultures, which generally cleave to specific traditions and shared histories, humanity’s diversity has resulted in a near-infinite set of names. The humans of the Halidom of Élivágar have different names than those dwelling in the Múspellheim Empire. Humans throughout much of the world speak Common, yet their names are as varied as their beliefs and appearances.  

Human Heritages

Unlike other ancestries, humans don’t have significant physiological differences defined by their lineage. Instead, their heritages either reveal their potential as a people or reflect lineages from multiple ancestries.  

Skilled Heritage

Your ingenuity allows you to train in a wide variety of skills. You become trained in one skill of your choice.   At 5th level, you become an expert in the chosen skill.  

Versatile Heritage

Humanity’s versatility and ambition have fueled its ascendance to be the most common ancestry in most nations throughout the world. Select a general feat of your choice for which you meet the prerequisites (as with your ancestry feat, you can select this general feat at any point during character creation).  

Wintertouched Heritage

Before the Flood of Light, your ancestors lived in the Halidom of Élivágar and gained the blessings of Naberius. You gain cold resistance equal to half your level (minimum 1), and you treat environmental cold effects as if they were one step less extreme (incredible cold becomes extreme, extreme cold becomes severe, and so on).  

Human Ancestry Feats

At 1st level, you gain one ancestry feat, and you gain an additional ancestry feat every 4 levels thereafter (at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels). As a human, you select from among the following ancestry feats.   See human ancestry feats here: https://pf2.d20pfsrd.com/ancestry/human/
