Humans, in detail

Think you know everything about humans, eh?

Humans were the first race created by the gods, and the form which the gods them took in the world. They are pink-skinned with brown, yellow or occasionally red hair at the tops of their heads but virtually none elsewhere, save for some males with hair all about their faces.

They are very industrious, adventurous and always inventig new things. When they were created, the intention was that they would settle Ronar and then stop. So far, they haven't managed to do the second part, which was why the other races were created in the first place. However, they have progressed as a race, and most of their development has passed to the other races as well, faster than the gods had ever dreamed.

Humans create their cities in flat, open spaces, typically near waterways to facilitate transport of materials and produce, and will most often transform an area into what is needed rather than looking for a more ideal spot.

Humans are the most common race to crossbreed with any other race, mostly due to their adventurous nature. They also are naturally able to crossbreed with Orcs, which is upsetting to realize that they are the only compatable species without magical help. Then again, orcs were created in mockery of humans.

Most Human half-breeds live in small niches of society. Half-unofotine will work as laborers, half-shadowkin will work as spies, half-orcs will work as craftsmen. Half torins are the exception, as they are numerous enough to build ther own societies, and Torin viewpoints and appearances blend most easily into Human society unnoticed.
