Humans
The Humans have evolved from different species according to the elders. These are the ilae, beringuis and kanae. The ilae are beings of the sun and the kanae are beings of the shadow, when merged, they balance each other creating the existence of humans. A directly merged human is called an Ilkan. Offsprings that were born from Ilkans are humans. Ilkans live differently from humans though.
According to others, humans evolved from beringuis, animals of the wild.

Major language groups and dialects
The Northerners are thought to be too loud but evasive while conversing according to Southerners while the Southerners are thought to be too soft-spoken but frank while conversing.
Still, in terms of dialects, people who live in the capital cities (Esbri City, Magna City and Equalus) are far more careful in speaking rather than those who live in the outskirts of the land.
Shared customary codes and values
In a whole, the Kingdoms of Alhava have worked towards the same goal for years despite being separated kingdoms. They both share courage and ambition. In the north, however, people value a sense of community while in the south, people are more individualistic.
Common Etiquette rules
It is a very common etiquette to be nice to your elders especially those in positions of power. It is dependent on the person who is disrespected whether they be tolerant or not.
It is also a common etiquette that one must treat their guests politely but guests should also be polite and turn down over the top offers from their host.
Children below ten must not be taught of the ways or history of war and violence as this might challenge their ability to decide with a level-head. Although some households introduce children with the concept of punishment=violence at a young age. That method is only tolerated by the law as long as no injury or abuse is evident.
