Endamian Human
" In the bustle of the Bindi market, it was very easy for one to get lost. It's no surprise that I could not find Abunala anywhere. The harsh Gratic merchants were of no use, as they would not speak Hayimic. The Llenic mercenaries used to guard the stalls were equally unhelpful, despite it being their jobs to help me. A pair of Essic travellers were of help to me, though, as they indicated that a red-cloaked lady was seen fleeing down towards the Bindi Temple of Agharna. "
~Alam Shamseri, The Red Rose of Destani
Basic Information
Anatomy
2 hands with 5 fingers each; 2 arms; 2 legs; 2 feet with 4 toes each and rudimentary webbing; 1 head with 1 mouth, 2 eyes, 1 nose, 2 ears, 2 half-brains, and hair, occasionally in colours like light green or light blue; 1 heart; 2 lungs; 2 kidneys; chestnut-brown blood; complete digestive system; two genders distinguishable through sexual organs and brain processing.
Ecology and Habitats
Due to their intelligent and sapient nature, these humans can thrive in most environments. Initially, though, they were meant to survive in wetter environments (hence the webbing).

Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Names are usually names of heroes or rulers, but some are descended from archaic words for geological features or plants.
Major Organizations
Dominated by The Gratic Empire, but the smaller United Kingdoms of Oren-Hayim and the Princedom of Llenir are also major organizations. Each has a state-approved religion and traditions. Essel Province and Evercold Territory are also home to rebel factions.
Average Technological Level
Fairly early-medieval, with a lack of a "knight" military caste.
Major Language Groups and Dialects
The Gratic Empire has a widely spoken language, Common Gratic, although regional dialects vary from place to place. Essic-Llenic is distantly related to this language family as well. Hayimic is completely different, with the Hayim people arriving much later on Endaman.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Gratic humans are familiar with Endamian Dwarf culture, but they are aware of Renathian culture through dealings with Limbo. Cultures off Endaman are generally unknown to them, but they are open to learn.
