Human

At the bar table sits three humans. One, a light-skinned man, his features fair and bright from the curly hair to the button nose. A darker skinned man sits next to him, his coarse black hair is braided into decorative strands. They laugh with a red haired woman, beautiful by any standards, her pale skin almost white in the dim of the tavern.
Humans, next to Elfathri, are some of the oldest denizens of this world. Namma's first foray into the creation of sentient, intelligent life.
