Humans (blurb)
“Alone we are resourceful, we survive; but together … together we can do what is thought to be impossible!” – King Lyryan Haro during the final conquest of the Kingdom of Gelria 1705 A.T.
Description
The most common of the races, humans are adventurous, industrious, and passionate. Inclined towards community, humans are responsible for the largest cities, guilds, and empires across Ariel, relying on their versatility and adaptability to overcome obstacles. While they have no natural affinities, such as elves with their magic or the renowned physical strength of minotaurs, humans also have no natural drawbacks, enabling them to devote themselves to a truly staggering array of pursuits. As a result you can find humans nearly everywhere, in every walk of life, using their varied skills to achieve remarkable things.
