Human

A millennia ago, the proud Human race thrived in the Highlands, their influence felt in every corner of the planet. Vast was their kingdom and endless were their vaults and treasuries, causing corruption to slowly take over the royalties. Warrior King Yvain Gloryblood led the Humans in a brutal onslaught across the world, desiring to conquer every continent known to mortals. However, during a battle in the Wildlands, King Gloryblood fell to an ambush of Ogres, who were allied with the Wild Elves in a counteroffensive directly to the Luxford of the Humans, displaying the body of their slain king in front of their castle in a brutal blood show.

Chroniclers to this day write of the Great Fall and the outcomes of it, how the majority of all Humankind were slain in battle under the mad King Yvain’s orders, the remaining fractions left alive by the Wild Elves and their allies. Some Humans stayed in their home city, now under the High Elves and made into a neutral capital where all Races are welcomed as long as they follow the ways of peace, while others left in sorrow or rage.

In modern days, the Great Fall is more of a legend than anything to the Humans as they have made a new life as nomads, wanderers and explorers. Mankind is a resilient race, able to adapt to any climate or environment and thrive in it over time, it is why they can still be found settling even on the driest of deserts and the coldest of tundras, making due with what they have been given and thriving in it. Some groups of Humans, primarily those that inhabit the Highland Desert, still hold a grudge towards other races of the world for what had happened during the Great Fall and are not so fond of dealing with any non-Human.
