Outline

The Human race first appeared in Chantra 1000 years after the Orcs had settled. Following the dramatic sinking of their land, key pioneers in Human society initially established a foothold in the Western part of the continent known as Chantra. History suggests they were able to do so due to their ability of handling fire. In the early stages, Humans lived in relative peace, however, they soon began to realise that Orcs had landed on the Eastern part of the continent and before long tensions were raised as the Humans became protective over their territory.

Humans have a relatively short lifespan, with 80 years considered to be long. Humans also have an inferior breeding capacity when compared to Orcs, with the average number of offspring being 3.

Appearance

With an average height of 175cm, the Human race is by no means the tallest the Chantra. However, the Humans are a race whose immediate surroundings impact on their physical features, for example, skin tone, hair & eye colour vary greatly dependant on factors such as their role in society, weather and diet.

Humans are fully aware of their frailties, and so put a lot of emphasis on their armour and housing. This has resulted in some of the most spectacular armour sets ever seen in Chantra as well as substantial housing developments, in which they have clustered together for protection.

Personality

Humans are a complex race, which share many similar traits, however each Human relies on their individual presence of mind. Very stubborn and often envious off those with superior power and strength, they also have limited patience. Humans enjoy war but are also known for their incredible generosity and kindness. Their love of drinking, singing and dancing guarantees regular festivals wherever they reside.

Ability

Human’s familiarity with fire led them to make use of iron. Human weapon smiths are sought throughout the land for their superior skill. Yet these are not the only skills that the Human race has acquired. They were also quick to develop other creative skills including tailoring, armor making and economics.

Utilising these skills has allowed the Human race to carve themselves a niche role in Chantra’s larger society. This has helped ensure their survival and development over the years.
