Humans (race)

The human race, often referred to as humanity, is an ethnically diverse sapient specie thought to originate from the dry land of Tyras, and that is now present in most parts of the world. Humanity is the most populous specie of Zael, and their demographic weight has led them to acquire geo-political power and share the governance of the world with the Sehras and the Lycans in spite of their strong cultural differences.

It is most unusal to speak of one human race: kingdoms and nations have all tried to capitalize on ethnic differences to project the image of separate people divided by flags, faiths but also blood. Although racialist analysis is a common way of describing the human race, scholars have recently started to conceptualize the idea of one human race divided by a long history of tribulation and conflicts, ultimately resulting in many separate kingdoms and faiths to cement this separation.

Regardless of such political and social theories, humans are most of the time looked over as one divided community which was forced to assemble itself to confront the far more united Sehras and Lycans and forward their political and diplomatic interests.

Resilient, tough and with an exceptional ability to adapt to change and endure, the once nomadic Humans have set foot on every known piece of land and prospered even in the most dire situations.

There supposedly exists six populations/ethnicities of humans: Amaari, Astraari, Dunaari, Kalaari, Naari and Tyrashi. Some studies have tried to add the Thëggs, the Sarëggs and the Khalaani to the list, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. Most scholars usually agree that both the Khalaani and the Humans share a common ancestry (see Samé people), while the Thëggo-Sarëgg folks constitute an original race of people, alike the Tari.
