Humans

The human population in the empire may be larger than that of any other race, even the elves. They are considered industrious, ambitious, and greedy. Within the empire they rank as second class citizens, alongside the Polder, and just below the elves. Most human territories have been conquered or assimilated into the Celethian Empire. Some humans dpn't seem to mind but others are opposed, sometimes violently to the idea.

Personality:
Humans personalities vary wildly. Although some are focused or reserved, others can be passionate or whimsical. Their short lifespans lead them to reach for great heights, often leading to dramatic falls. Whatever they do, they throw themselves into it but that desire can burn itself out quickly. They feel emotion hotly but that flame burns out just as quickly.

Physical Description:
There is no typical human. A human could be under 4 feet, barely taller than a Dwarf but right next to him another human could stand as tall as an Aeden, close to 7 feet. Their skin and hair tone also displays a wide variety of colors. For example, humans in the southern duchies such as Galezzo or Therin will have dark skin and hard, scorched by the sun. But in the north in places like Ymaire or Balinel, humans wil have pale skin and hair, frozen by the harsh winters. Of course you'll also find everythin in between. Even their facial hair varies. Some men have beards as thick as a Dwarf's while some only grow scruffy patches. Women rarely have beards but occasionally you'll find one with a hairy lip!

Religion:
The human dieties are almost as diverse as their appearance. In Celethian territories, most recognize the Twelve Divines, especially in the cities, but many smaller settlements worship local deities as well. On the borders of the empire and in independent states, all sorts of heresies are practiced.

Languages:
The one consistent thing about humans is that the all speak some form of Dermot but it is filled with inaccuracies and regional dialects. Luckily, they can mostly speak Celethian to some degree.
