Humans are one of the seven races that inhabit Rivellon.

Physiology

[edit | edit source]

In comparison to other races, humans are more or less average species. They are not the tallest, strongest, nor do they have the most generous life span. Unlike other races, however, humans are blessed with ingenuity, adaptability and cunning which they use in order to survive. These qualities have catapulted them into a position of "undisputed pre-eminence" in many of Rivellon´s notable regions.[1]

Culture

Template:Quote Humans tend to live in tight-knit clans with a strong inclination towards community values. Many humans live in the same area for their whole life but it is not uncommon for some to venture away from home in search of work when the need arises. For example, a mother or father will leave the home for a number of months to perform seasonal work in order to support their family. In other cases it is the overpopulation that forces younger generations to seek a new home. Due to human's flexible nature and preference of adaptation over tradition they were able to expand their culture in various regions without facing any sort of major resistance.[2]

Government

[edit | edit source]

Despite being the youngest of the seven races, human governments have varied widely across history. From the vast empires during the Dragon War to the monarchies of the Era of Source, to the modern-day rule of the Divine Order. Unlike orcs or lizards, humans have developed a propensity towards cultural dominance rather than physical colonialism. Thanks to humans' flexible culture many of their customs such as their standard of dress, religion, and entertainment were quick to take root.

Human will is so strong that it was possible for a leader to rise amongst them and meet with support of other races across Rivellon. Lucian the Divine is a perfect example of how much influence can human leaders achieve on Rivellon.[1]

Era of the Divine Order

[edit | edit source]

Since Lucian ascended to divinity in 1218 AD, humans were under the rule of his Divine Order of Lucian. Shortly after its creation the Order was mainly made to battle the Black Ring, Voidwoken and all manner of evil influence across Rivellon while maintaining alliances with other the races. While the Lucian's order ruled human lands the nobles who were originally in charge of their lands joined his order and continued to oversee their lands. All of these nobles joined the Divine Order as Divine Paladins.

Religion

Ever since their creation, humans worshipped their creator the god Rhalic whilst also revering the other Seven Gods. Along with the Seven Gods, humans tend to turn to Astarte, Ouroboros and his children. Humans who practiced dark arts, often turned to Lord of Chaos or rarely to the God King for power, prior to the Sealing of the Veil.

Since the advent of Divine Order, most humans started to worship Lucian as their god, alongside Rhalic. After the Source Drought in 1242 AD humans mainly worshipped Lucian, this worship became more widespread, with Lucians supposed ascension to godhood during the Great War between 1244 AD and 1250 AD, when he was presumed slain by a rogue Dragon Knight and his remains were never found.
