Humanity



Humanity is the dominant race in Yatan. They reside in every corner of the world in a plethora of conflicting cultures and ideologies. Over thousands of years, Humanity has conquered 3 continents and countless islands. Skin color, culture, and language have developed independently with mutations and evolution enhanced by the chaotic nature of magic.

Profile
While not the only sentient race in Yatan, Humanity is the only one to thrive in every corner of it. The spread out colonies have adapted to their surroundings at speeds only possible due to the magic in the air. Skin color is not the only trait that's evolved, as throughout the world societies have adopted hair colors, gills, furry ears, tails, claws, and other traits often associated with animals. The natural inclination toward group cohesion in Human Nature has kept these cultures defined as Humanity and not as a different race.

Governments have become increasingly combined under Empires. Where there were once a thousand countries, Four Empires rule a majority of land; the only place for city-states to exist being islands.

Cultural Appearences (Meta)
In Azahara 'Ard, the people have darker skin tones similar to India, the Middle East, or Egypt.

In Soyaze, the people are the most similar in appearance to Elves, making them East Asian.

In the mainland Continent (Chikyu and Kaentos), and the hundreds of islands around it, the appearances of its denizens range greatly, with its dominant races a mix of European and East Asian. There are a dwindling amount of Native-esque tribes across the Mainland as well

History
Humanity was once a servile race to the Elves. They were unevolved and in almost every way lesser, until they began to display violence. They brought ruin to Elven society and waged war across the realm. Humanity became the dominant species and have continued to adapt and evolve in their changing world.

Scholars debate with Religion over where Human Life began. The dominant religion states Life was created in the mountains of Chikyu, while Scholars have uncovered fossils in Soyaze tens of thousands of years prior to the claimed event.
