Humans are a varied species. While each city state will declare themselves unique, Humans can be split into several species. The Hellenic Humans are much more culturally focused, they are great warriors, who have a strong distain for magic.

The Thervingi Humans are more primitive, they don't build cities of stone, but instead focus on being the best one on one fighters. They are wild and unpredictable. They aren't afraid to use magic, but they also prefer the sharp steel of a sword.

The Capetian Humans are an advanced species of Humans, known for great cities, they are lovers of the mystics and are focused purely on the realm of magic. They have a reputation for being indulgent and falling for the dark aspects of magic.

The Hanow Humans are rumoured to be a species of Djinn, for they are connected to nature, in a way no other species of Humans, found exclusively in the Redwood forests, they are focused on protecting nature and will attack any who damage their forests.

Basic Information:

These cities are the five oldest cities, the Humans believe each city was founded before the First Dark Age ended.

• Arminius

• Montauban

• Hanow

• Bellator

• Aquila

The early human cities were dominated by the Snow Elves, who were thrown out by 1E 68. This was a different faction of Snow Elves, who didn't follow the Glaciers or the Carnens and had been separated when they sailed away from Ardamire. Their understanding of magic is what allowed them to subjugate the Humans with such ease. The Eternals actions were key to allowing them to free themselves, the same Eternals would switch sides and help the Djinn when history repeated itself.
