Template:Humans in Etrand

Currently, 0 Humans live in the Kingdom of Etrand, making up % of the kingdom's population.

The human population of Etrand dates back to roughly 1500 BEKE when present-day Etrand - save for Southern Etrand and Northern Etrand - became a definite domain of the Proto-Elves. The Proto-Elves who settled Etrand evolved into Humans as we know them some time around 1100 BEKE. However, unlike other races, they never became sole owners of their territory, as the borders of Etrand shifted considerably throughout history.

Even though Etrand mostly became a human domain, parts of Etrand remain outside of human rule, and for a long time weren't considered parts of Etrand proper. For example, Northern Etrand - inhabited by Dwarves and Gnomes - wasn't considered part of Etrand until the late 3rd century AEKE. Southern Etrand - inhabited by Lizardmen - was gradually colonized by the Humans between 1100 BEKE and the present day. During the Great War the Etrandish colonization of Southern Etrand stopped temporarily, while it reintensified during the rule of King Tondbert I of Etrand, albeit it turned from violent colonization to largerly peaceful colonization.

Nevertheless, the northernmost and southernmost parts of Etrand are still considered in many ways peripheries of Etrand rather than core parts: Southern Etrand is often raided by Orcish raiding gangs and other tribes, the small town of Talon got sacked and destroyed twice - the South had to be re-populated and re-colonized all those times. Central Etrand and Western Etrand are considered the core territories of Etrand, the territories whose human population is considered to be the thick soup that resists the winds of change.
