LoreGame Rules

Humans, the youngest among the common races in Veracia, lead short lives that flicker like candles compared to the enduring flames. Yet, what humans lack in longevity, they make up for in their unparalleled adaptability and propensity for innovation. Swift to embrace change, they stand as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of the world they inhabit.

Description

In the spectrum of physical diversity, humans reign supreme. Ranging from heights of 5 to well over 6 feet and weighing between 125 to 250 pounds, their appearances span a vast array. Skin tones vary from the fairest ivory to the deepest ebony, while hair hues cascade from the lightest blond to the darkest charcoal. Such variance is often augmented by the infusion of nonhuman blood, lending unique features to individuals. Despite their diverse physiques, humans share a common trait in their fleeting mortality, a reminder of the brevity of their existence.

Humans embody the essence of adaptability and cultural fluidity. Shaped by their environment and upbringing, rather than biological determinism, they swiftly mold traditions and customs to suit their needs. Natural diplomats and traders, they seamlessly integrate into societies of other races, disregarding the barriers of prejudice that may arise. Their insatiable curiosity and thirst for exploration lead them to the far corners of the world, where they wear many hats - be it ambassador, scholar, soldier, ruler or intrepid adventurer.
