Despite the fact that the rapid expansion of the Human race has only started since the collapse of the Elven Empire, they have quickly become the most populous race on Aloria. With rapid colonization and expansion in all directions, Humans can now be found in all four corners of the world, trading, crafting, building but also waging war. The rapid expansion of the race has come with its downsides as well—humans are capable of great acts of cruelty, severe xenophobia towards other races, greed, infighting and great corruption. Of all the races of Aloria, humans are the most prone to greed and envy, causing whole kingdoms to descend into chaos over something as insignificant as a title or consort. Despite all of this, Humans are also the most capable race to reach great things through cooperation and an entrepreneurial attitude.
The '''Human Race''' (Serafin Humin) is an averagely sized humanoid species distributed across much of Aloria. The Human Race has in recent times become the most numerous race on the surface of Aloria, spanning large Empires and states in every corner of the world. The Human Race is also one of the most cultured races, having a wide range of sub races and even larger numbers of cultures. Humans are generally considered the "average" race of Aloria, meaning their properties and traits act as a measurement because of how average they are when compared to other races. Humans from a cultural perspective have also become the most prominent race on Aloria, therefor shifting the scientific analysis from an Elven perspective to a Human one. While Humans are also the most numerous race on Aloria, they are also the most prone to conflict of all races, having a natural proneness to warfare and violent resolutions to conflicts. Racism among Humans has especially become strong as of late because of their largest single body state: The Regalian Empire.

The Human race is sometimes referred to as Serafin Humin, from proto Seraph language. The exact origin of the word Human is unknown to scholars of the modern era, however there are signs that the term predates even the Elven Empire. Orcs for example referred to Humans as "Humies" before the Humans even introduced themselves upon their first encounter. It is generally assumed that Humans as a species existed in the Meraic Empire's era, but were nothing more than tribal barbarians. This means in turn that the term Human could be a derogatory term created by the Meraic civilization, however the term was used so often that nobody in present time considers even changing it. Elves refer to Humans as Firyin. Firyin means lesser being in Talar Elven, a term that Elves often use to insult Humans despite the fact that the historical scales have been tilted in favor of the Humans. Every other race refers to Humans as exactly that, though different pronunciation varieties are made. Urs for example refer to Humans as Oomans, Mekett refer to them as H'mzans. The only race to have recently changed their terminology is the Naga. Before the Chrysant Wars, Naga called Humans by that name, however after the disastrous war, they refer to Humans as "The Scourge".  
Humans, like Elves and Dwarves, descended from the great Seraph civilization. The Seraph that fled to Ceardia and hid in the vast empty expanses of this continent eventually formed the human culture and adapted to the rural lifestyle. From the earliest point in Human history, Humans formed petty kingdoms and warred with each other and themselves constantly. Any unification attempt through peace or diplomacy always failed and devolved into large scale wars, though many of the citizens in the kingdoms seemed content with this situation. Because of this, the Human petty kingdoms were no match for the Elven Empire that invaded Ceardia many times for riches and slaves, looting coastal kingdoms and taking those they spared. Human kingdoms did not have the splendor and grandeur of the Elven cities, being small and made of wood, straw and stone, and they lacked the defenders required to stand against the might of the Elven Empire. [[File:Valentino.png|200px|thumb|right|Valentino Sangiovese, art by MonMarty]]


With the collapse of the Elven Empire however, the Humans finally found themselves in the position where their growth was not being held back by the Elves. Many petty Human kingdoms were struck hard by the void invasion, their locations on the forefront of the war against the Void demons. This paved the way for one particular island to rise to power. The political power on this island was called Regalia. Situated on an iIsland with a large fleet, the Regalian Empire adopted the coastal raiding techniques of the Elves, quickly and easily subjegating large areas of petty Human kingdoms that had nothing to defend themselves with. Instead of just looting the places however, the Regalian Empire settled in the new colonized areas, assimilating them to its culture and politics. Leaders were bribed with gold and positions in the Regalian Senate, and in many places the Regalian fleet was welcomed as a window to prosperity, often bringing education, commerce and culture.
== Taxonomy and evolution ==
Humans are generally considered to have appeared on the continent of Ceardia roughly 5000 years Before Cataclysm. Remains have been found of typical human stone tools and Old Gods worship statuettes that point to a tribal way of living that lasted for several thousands of years. This had led many scholars to conclude that Humans existed during the times of the Elven Empire, the Meraic civilization, and some claim even the unnamed civilization before the Meraic. Humans have only in the past 1000 years started leaving the Ceardian continent. Elves were the largest factor of this spreading across Aloria, as soon as the Elven Empire had reached it's zenith, it started mass enslaving Humans to cater to it's servant shortages due to low reproduction cycles of Tigrans. Humans were thus captured in Ceardia and spread all over the world to Elven outposts, where the rapid reproduction cycle and aging cycle of Humans meant they quickly overtook even Elven populations as slaves across Farahdeen, the Regalian Archipelago, Etosil and more.  


== The Human Capital, Regalia ==
== Subspecies ==
Humans are home to several subspecies that have distinctly evolved from their species line. These subspecies can usually be found localized to specific continents, but in recent times have started moving around and even interbreeding with each other to create hybrids or mudbloods as they are referred to by Ailor Humans.

=== Culture ===
=== Hybrids ===
Human culture is very much defined by Regalia in present times as the great metropolis capital of the Human race. Religion in Regalia used to be that of the old Human gods. These gods were pagan and wild gods from ages before the Elven Empire. With the formation of the Regalian Empire however, a new religion called “Union” made a quick rise to prominence. Union as a religion is focused around worshipping the Emperors of Regalia, who ascend to godlike status upon their death. The religion is a strict one, denying the old gods as heresy and demanding worship from all Humans, calling for a Human civilization under one religion.[[File:Baldwin.png|200px|thumb|left|Baldwin Kade, art by MrHappyTinkles]] Humans, out of all the races, are the most prone to be patrons of the arts. Many races would find it impractical to spend as much wealth on art and decorations as Humans do. Many nobles in Regalia attempt to out do one another with more splendor and excessive displays of wealth, even as the poorest in the slums die of hunger. Out of all the races, Humans have the largest gap between rich and poor, with little to no interest from the richer nobles to help relieve the problems of the poor. Despite the fact that Human society is cruel, it is still the most effective in terms of order and productivity. Lacking the craftsmanship of the Elves and Dwarves, the humans outdo them in sheer production, allowing them to field larger armies and maintain larger populations.
Several recognized Hybrids between Humans and non Humans exist and are even quite prominent.
* Half Qadir Half Ailor are not very prominent, but do exist. They can usually be recognized by having black hair, dark skin and golden eyes. Half Qadir are generally considered heretics in their own culture, and dirty to Ailor.
* Half Ailor Half Ch'ien-ji are even less prominent. They are usually recognizable due to having very Ch'ien'ji like traits, but not having the slitted eyes or the yellowish skin tone.
* Half Ailor Half Elf are very numerous. They are usually recognizable due to their relatively taller height and slightly pointy ears. These hybrids are shunned by both races, as they are associated with slave children.  
* Half Ailor Half Orc exist, but are usually very tragic. If born from a Human mother, the mother likely died in childbirth. If born from an Orc mother, the pair would have likely been ostracized from Orc society.
== Physical description ==


The rapid conquest of Regalia had a dark side however, as while the Empire grew larger, so did the corruption and political scheming in the capital. Politics in Regalia were run by the Senate of Regalia, headed by the Chancellor, a seat dominantly held by the Kade family. The Senate itself divided into different factions—assassination attempts driven by scheming and ambitious leaders against other political leaders became a common practice. Despite the political infighting, the majority of Regalia’s politicians still held the good of Empire as priority, and colonists were sent out to many different continents. Daendroc was colonized, along with Ellador and Ithania. The whole of Ceardia eventually fell under the power of Regalia, and minor outposts were established on Kelmoria, Jorrhildr, Farah’deen and even the wild continent known as Lerina Basa.
=== Body size ===
Humans averagely are between 5 and 7 feet tall. In the lower end of this range are usually the Ch'ien-ji who usually don't grow taller than 5 feet and 5 inches. In the upper end of this range are the Qadir and Wulong, who usually grow between 6 feet and 7 feet. Everywhere in between can be the Ailor Humans who are a distinct average. The body strength of the Ch'ien-ji is also considerably less than that of the Ailor, who in turn are physically weaker than the Wulong while almost on equal terms with the Qadir. Humans unlike other races have the ability to grow or degrade muscle mass to extreme proportions, meaning many Humans can look radically different from one another.
=== Genetic traits ===
Ailor Humans are genetically diverse. There are many different hair colors and eye colors within the Human genepool, though the Qadir, Wulong and Ch'ien-ji are fairly similar to one another. Ailors can have wildly different hair colors ranging from black to red, blonde, brown and in some cases even white. White hair is seen as a genetic defect, but also seems to be accompanied with heightened sensitivity to Magic.
=== Reproduction ===
Humans reproduce at a fairly fast rate compared to other races. Humans are able to give birth to an infant within 9 months of fertilization, and in most cases can re-fertilize immediately upon giving birth. Infant mortality rates are extremely low among Humans (with the exception of noble Ailor families), meaning the overall population growth of Humans is booming. Humans reproduce through intercourse where a male inseminates a female, after which the female will carry the infant for the 9 month period.
=== Longevity ===
Humans have a wildly differing age limit. Ch'ien-ji are generally on the high end by living up to 150 in some rare cases, while Qadir and Ailor live up to the average of 80. Wulong, even under ideal conditions, cannot be expected to live beyond their 40th year. Human age is however usually cut short by warfare, malnutrition or disease. Due to the populations of Humans and the relatively uselessness of Human elders, most Humans do not grow particularly old.
== Distribution and habitat ==
Humans are distributed across all known continents on Aloria. The strongest concentrations of Humans are found in the Regalian Archipelago, New Ceardia, Daendroque, Farahdeen and the Yangtze Isles. By far however, the most humans live on the Regalian Archipelago, counting several million condensed on a few islands. Humans usually live in stone constructed structures. Architecture is a highly praised occupation and art in Human culture, leading to wildly varying habitats. Wulong however still live in wooden huts or caves, sticking mostly to the old ways other Human species also used to live thousands of years back.
== Behavior and culture ==


=== A Warring People ===
=== Dietary habits ===
Roughly 200 years after the last void invasion, The Naga kingdoms in Hadar lived in a time of unprecedented military power. One empress of the Naga, Mikuni, managed to unite all the Naga petty fiefs under her banner of serpent worshippers. Their newest weapon, the magic of the sea serpents they worshipped, made them especially dangerous, and a threat that could not be ignored. Immediately, the Regalian Senate was distressed over potentially being surpassed in military might by the new Naga Empire, for they had gained a globally dominant position that they were not willing to give up so easily. Without first formal contact or negotiations, Regalia declared war on the Naga Empire.[[File:Alistair.png|200px|thumb|right|Alistair Gerard, art by Faewyn]]
Humans are universally omnivores, meaning they eat a wide range of foods. Most Ailor have a healthy diet consisting of fish, bread, fruits, meat and fine drinks such as wines and liquors. Qadir eat a large variety of fruits and hard breads. In some minor cases, rice and fish is also consumed, but Qadir do not eat pork meat. Ch'ien-ji are more on the vegetarian side of the dietary spectrum, favoring rice and fruit products, but they do also eat poultry and fish. Wulong mostly eat raw unprocessed foods such as wild fruits and raw fish.  
 
=== Inter species relationships ===
Known as the Chyrsant Wars, the confrontations between the Naga and Regalia was extremely violent, humans exterminating whole cities and kingdoms in Hadar as the Imperial fleet wrecked its way to the core of the Naga Empire. The great battle of Feng Huang saw the Imperial fleet, headed by Emperor Justinian I and supported by Ortan and Moriarty Kade, as well as Henry van Sherburne and Harald Redblock, pitted against the fleet of dragon ships headed by Empress Mikuni of the Naga Empire. The battle saw nearly 300 ships sunken, and near the end of the battle, the Empress summoned a Sea Serpent from the deep in an attempt to salvage the battle in her favor. The Serpent managed to rip through many ships and kill Ortan Kade, before it was eventually slain by a great broadside of the flagship.
Humans are generally considered the most racist species on Aloria, having an innate distaste for any other race in existence. The very founding of the religions of Humans, Old Gods and Unionism, embody this racism by preaching that Humans have a divine purpose on Aloria to rule all the lesser races and herald a never ending era of Human dominance. This racism is especially strong in the Empire of Regalia where only Humans are first rank citizens.  
 
=== Cultures ===
At the end of the battle, only one in four Regalian ships remained, but the Naga resistance had been completely broken. The fleet sailed its way around Hadar destroying many more defenseless cities, reducing the Naga population to less than 5% of it’s original size. Upon returning to Regalia, the fleet bore many riches and spoils of war, and after re-organizing their military fleet, Regalia became the undisputed number one military power of Aloria. The Chrysant Wars were short and brutal, but defined Regalia’s policy towards non Human military powers. Any non Human power that arises in the future will have the Regalian fleet on their doorstep.

=== Forms of governance ===
=== Current Racial Relations ===
Humans have a large variety of different government forms, more so than any other race. To name a list of the most popular ones:
In recent times, Regalia has allied some of the Elven Unqualë tribes fighting Orcs in exchange for Elven arts and their resources. Regalian troops are being levied over to Daendroc to prepare a campaign against the Orcs that still linger the continent. After the collapse of Ceardia and the abandoning of the continent, many refugees fled to Regalia. The influx of refugees has only made the xenophobia many humans feel even worse. Recently, the Senate has started stripping rights from non humans and condemning many to live in squalor in the slums. Despite its lack of interest in defending non Humans, Regalia stands as the last true bastion against the Void legions, being the only militarily competent state to match itself to the Archdemon’s hordes. Until this day the Archdemon is aware of this and focuses its attempts on sabotaging Regalia with whatever means he can find, whether by destabilizing the political spectrum with the assassination of the Kades, sending more vampires to the city spread terror, or full out attacks by the Dark Banshee.

The Human Race (Serafin Humin) is an averagely sized humanoid species distributed across much of Aloria. The Human Race has in recent times become the most numerous race on the surface of Aloria, spanning large Empires and states in every corner of the world. The Human Race is also one of the most cultured races, having a wide range of sub races and even larger numbers of cultures. Humans are generally considered the "average" race of Aloria, meaning their properties and traits act as a measurement because of how average they are when compared to other races. Humans from a cultural perspective have also become the most prominent race on Aloria, therefor shifting the scientific analysis from an Elven perspective to a Human one. While Humans are also the most numerous race on Aloria, they are also the most prone to conflict of all races, having a natural proneness to warfare and violent resolutions to conflicts. Racism among Humans has especially become strong as of late because of their largest single body state: The Regalian Empire.

Naming and etymology

The Human race is sometimes referred to as Serafin Humin, from proto Seraph language. The exact origin of the word Human is unknown to scholars of the modern era, however there are signs that the term predates even the Elven Empire. Orcs for example referred to Humans as "Humies" before the Humans even introduced themselves upon their first encounter. It is generally assumed that Humans as a species existed in the Meraic Empire's era, but were nothing more than tribal barbarians. This means in turn that the term Human could be a derogatory term created by the Meraic civilization, however the term was used so often that nobody in present time considers even changing it. Elves refer to Humans as Firyin. Firyin means lesser being in Talar Elven, a term that Elves often use to insult Humans despite the fact that the historical scales have been tilted in favor of the Humans. Every other race refers to Humans as exactly that, though different pronunciation varieties are made. Urs for example refer to Humans as Oomans, Mekett refer to them as H'mzans. The only race to have recently changed their terminology is the Naga. Before the Chrysant Wars, Naga called Humans by that name, however after the disastrous war, they refer to Humans as "The Scourge".

Taxonomy and evolution

Subspecies

Humans are home to several subspecies that have distinctly evolved from their species line. These subspecies can usually be found localized to specific continents, but in recent times have started moving around and even interbreeding with each other to create hybrids or mudbloods as they are referred to by Ailor Humans.

Ailor Humans are usually recognized by their bright to medium dark skin tones and wildly varying hair and eye colors.
Qadir Humans File:Missing.jpg Originated from Farahdeen, and mostly concentrated on said continent. Has however been venturing outwards more recently. Qadir are a very homogeneous sub species of Humans, meaning they are very similar to one another. Most Qadir either have a very dark skin tone, or a medium dark one.

Hybrids

Several recognized Hybrids between Humans and non Humans exist and are even quite prominent.

  • Half Qadir Half Ailor are not very prominent, but do exist. They can usually be recognized by having black hair, dark skin and golden eyes. Half Qadir are generally considered heretics in their own culture, and dirty to Ailor.
  • Half Ailor Half Ch'ien-ji are even less prominent. They are usually recognizable due to having very Ch'ien'ji like traits, but not having the slitted eyes or the yellowish skin tone.
  • Half Ailor Half Elf are very numerous. They are usually recognizable due to their relatively taller height and slightly pointy ears. These hybrids are shunned by both races, as they are associated with slave children.
  • Half Ailor Half Orc exist, but are usually very tragic. If born from a Human mother, the mother likely died in childbirth. If born from an Orc mother, the pair would have likely been ostracized from Orc society.
