Humans

Human are a race native to Alandor. They are known for their versatility and "jack-of-all-trades" lifestyle.

Origin
Humans seem to share the same ancestry as Orcs and have been around for most of history. Though younger than Dwarrows and Halflings and Gnomes, the oldest of them all, humans are obsessed with putting their mark on the world and never stop creating and building new arts or cities.

They spread across all of Alandor, having adapted to the climates.

Names
Human names are very dependant on their cultures. See below under Subtypes for more information.

Humans names are built on a first name, a second name, and a surname.

Appearance
Humans are of medium height and can range from short as a Dwarrow, to the lowest height of Orc. Their hairs range from pale pale almost white, to the darkest black, with anything that has earthy tones. Their skin ranges the same way.

A lot of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, revealing hints of elf, orc, or other linages. They are not called "Half-Humans" thought, seeing themselves as full humans always.

Age
Humans age normally and come of age in their late teens. They rarely live past a century. Most reach an age of 70-80 before passing by their failing frail bodies.

Personality
Humans are generally friendly and take kindly to other races. Though they have the most amount of thieves, many humans are honourable. They create cities, where almost all races are welcome.

Humans who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of an already daring and ambitious race. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. More than other races, humans champion causes rather than territories.

Though mixing freely with other races, humans are almost entirely considered only with themselves and their own beliefs and cultures. Many are not well educated, and know about little other than human history.

Chehan
Chehan live in their cities spread across most of the southern regions of Alandor. They are not great travelers, instead opting to trade wildly with all passerby's. They rarely care about the world outside their own cities. They are great craftsmen and sell the most well-made products. They are light in skin mostly, with hairs that range from black to reds to blond, eyes on the lighter side.

Hardwood
Hardwoods reside mostly in the eastern climates of Alandor, where they built enormous connected villages made up by farms and farmland. They trade with all travelers and devote their lives to their farms. Not many Hardwoods actually leave their farms except to travel to trade shortly. Their skins are tanned but lighter, with whiskey or darker brown eyes. Their hairs are light, brightened by the sun, and the men usually have short beards.

Merar
Merar are a people who live far in the north, wandering the low tundras. Despite the cold of their climate, Merar are warm and friendly to any they might run into around their villages. They are slightly on the shorter side, fair-skinned with blue or steely grey eyes. Most have raven-black hairs, but some might take on a more red or blonde colour.

Asaia
Most often found on islands, the Asaia are short and stout, muscular through their trade of the ocean. They usually have dusky skin, dark eyes, and thick black hairs. They are very isolated, and come into little contact with other races and humans. Some Asaia leave their homes among the island to explore the world outside.

Laan
Laan are great scholars and writers, brought up believing that art is the grandest pursuit in life. They travel all roads all across Alandor and rarely meet up with each others, instead traveling in small packs. They seek knowledge and talk to everyone they meet, to write their stories down. Laan are very dark of skin and their hairs are usually the same dark as their skins, though they wrap it up in colourful scarves and so on. Their eyes are usually dark as well.
