Human

Human
Humans have always been regarded to be a 'lesser' race. Always at the short end of history, never coming out on top. For a long period in time, humans would tend to stick together in closer communities in the southern reaches, keeping to themselves. After the Great Massacre of a human kingdom in 1579, humankind opted to be hostile towards all non-human races. In almost a change of heart, in 1727, colonization began in the upper reigon of Heidhelm, the "New lands". Highland tribes left their homes to claim land in the famed western reigons.

Strange as it seems, humans began to dominate the frontier, quickly setting up towns, delving further into the heartlands and furthering the race of technological advancement. While other races struggled to make a life in the frontier, humankind saw potential, and took charge.

After what seems to have been a few hundred years of turmoil, chaos and war, the dust seems to be settling and the newly established human colonies in Heldheim are going strong.

Physical, Mental and Magical ability
The human race is not particularly known for their magic use. Their physical build is fairly mundane with average height being around five feet, eight inches and impressive muscle mass. Humans are more known for their mental capacity. Humans are strong-willed, resilient and often times boast strong constitution. For what they lack in magical prowess they excell in sheer cunning intelligence.

Relations to Other Races
To those with Elfen blood, the humans held great disdain after the massacre of their people by the hands of elves. Held is the key word, however. Old wounds don't heal easily, but to most humans, elves, orcs and anything inbetween deserve nothing more than indifference, and to most folks, any sort of racial tension ends at a passing sneer or a rude remark.

Humans, however, hold a great dislike for Scalefolk and Dogfolk, the former being a source of fear and the latter just wantom hatred, most humans regard the 'beast' races as a nuisance and nothing else. Scalefolk and Humans have a strange relationship in the sense that Scalefolk shared a kingdom in the olden days. They weren't exactly at odds, but they weren't the friendliest of neighbors, either.

Finally, the Idonites serve a great controversy between humans. During the initial stages of colonization, Idonite natives were forcibly assimilated into indentured slaves for human towns. Those who would not submit were shipped off and dumped in strange lands to the east to be forgotten about. Otherwise, humans would slaughter idonites who put up a fight. Unfortunately, the short creatures couldn't put up much of a fight and submit to their captors. Free idonites don't hold high regards for humans, and men and women who aren't favorable of slavery and the treatment of idonites are often lumped together with the slavers and murderers.
