Archive:Humanoid Races of Alathra

There is evidence to suggest that there is more than one humanoid race existing in the world of Alathra, various "mythical" species and cultures.

Humans

Humans are the most abundant and widespread species on Alathra, characterized by bipedalism, patches of hair cross their body coming in several possible colors, bearing a variety of possible skin tones, and rounded ears. Humans have a natural lifespan of around 80 years, reaching maturity around 18 years old. Adults of this race average around 5 and a half feet tall (167.64 centimeters).

Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster human society. Curiosity and the human desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of study.

While it is rare for Humans to be born with magic, it is not uncommon for them to learn it later on in life.
