Humans (Lords of the Land)

Westerfolk
Humans (Lords of the Land)

    Humans have inhabited the Realm since the beginning. One of the first races created by the Gods. They have spread throughout the Realm and are believed to have gone even farther than that. They are the most plentiful in terms of population. It is uncommon to not find humans in any city or major town.

    Humans came to prominence in the Time of Awakening. They conquered the other races in terms of combat and willpower. Easily inspired by motivational speeches and words of encouragement Humans often beat out all opponents via sheer force of will. Although easily tempted by greed, lust, and drink, humans are usually Good in alignment.  

    Humans typically living their lives as peasants and farmers if not of the noble class. Competent soldiers and knights, Humans tend to favor positions of prestige and worth such as being a Paladin or Cleric. Regardless of the path they choose Humans come in many varieties most notably they are divided into three groups.

Westerfolk 
    Westerfolk are Humans who live west of the Northern Kerlo Plains. Most civilized and developed of the three groups. Westerfolk make up about 50% of all humans that roam the Realm.

Easterfolk
    Easterfolk are Humans who live east of the Northern Kerlo Plains. Not much is known about Easterfolk. They typically live in solitude or in small hidden communities studying Magic or various other trades. Mostly thought of Barbarians, but that isn’t entirely true.

Northdwellers 

    Northdwellers are Humans who live above the City of Pash. They have the smallest land area. Northdwellers are masters of combat and fight within their borders frequently when not at war with the Goblins, Orcs, and Dwarves.

    The three groups of Humans usually get along with each other when encountered, but rarely see or communicate outside their borders unless traveling in a party. Humans tend to seek adventure and excitement and excel in leadership positions partially due to the fact they make up the bulk of the worlds population.


Northdweller
Northdwellers typically carry axes and shields. They Dress warmly due to the extremely cold temperatures they endure in the far north. They are accustomed to wearing chain mail. Their alignment is usually good, but occasionally are chaotic evil.

Northdwellers bare a hatred towards Greenskins and Dwarves. They do not easily get along with Dwarves regardless of circumstances and will usually feel uneasy around them if nothing else. Northdwellerss are almost always great a building and typically carry a set of simple tools with them.


Easterfolk


Easterfolk are the most mysterious of all the groups of Humans. Long separated from civilized culture they tend to be more Barbarian in nature, while not in the least unintelligent. They are always aligned as good, only switching through life experience outside of their borders across the Northern Kerlo Plains.

While greater in strength than Westerfolk, they do not feel comfortable in armor and tend to avoid wearing it. Comfortable using most any weapon they tend to prefer swords or staves over any other weapon.
