Humans

Humans are a race native (but not exactly indigenous) to the continent of Artograch, having evolved from the migrant Proto-Elves, making Humans a sister-race to Wood Elves and High Elves.

It can be argued that, without any doubt, humans are the most versatile race on the face of Artograch. and have the main driving force of history ever since the Kingdom of Etrand has been founded. No one knows why is the lifespan of humans so short - roughly one-tenth of that of their western neighbours - but one thing is certain: this short lifespan compells, if not forces humans to attempt to live their lives to the fullest, to excel, make the most out of their short lives, have an impact on the world, instead of spending almost all day in a shadow-providing tent or shack drinking tea and meditating. The humans of Etrand and Etrancoast are world-famous for their ambition, passion, determination and resiliance.

The average human male is 175 centimetres (69 inches, or 5 feet and 9 inches) tall, while the average human female is 165 centimetres (65 inches, or 5 feet and 5 inches) tall, however, humans possess much great variation amongst themselves in regards to height than other races, adult humans being as tall as 215 centimetres (84 inches or 7 feet) or as short as 130 centimetres (51 inches, or 4 feet and 3 inches) not being unheard of either. With possibly the exception of the Lizardmen with the varied colours of their scale, humans are the most diverse race on Artograch, with a large variety of hair colours (black, brown, blond, red, auburn) and eye colours (brown, blue, hazel, grey, green) occouring naturally.

Phenotypes / Sub-Races
Humans are considered the most diverse out of all races on Continental Artograch. They are subdivided into six phenotypes or subraces.



Steelhelmi


A variant of the human race, its distribution roughly corresponds to the Margraviate of Steelhelm and the northeasatern parts of the Grand County of Yeirmarc.

Western Etrandish


A variant of the human race, its distribution roughly corresponds to the royal demesne (area around Grandfolk), the Grand County of Colbenbert, Margraviate of Switheud, Margraviate of Gusmoldenbert, Margraviate of Femben and Grand County of Werron.

Southern Etrandish


A variant of the human race, its distribution roughly corresponds to the Grand Counties of Semmeng and Yaeshener. Its almost extinct in its purest forms, because Souther Etrand was on the receiving end of total destruction and depopulation several times throughout Etrand's history, followed by repopulation accelerated by immigration from other regions - which is why this phenotype has gotten diluted and mixed with all the others.

Brevian


A variant of the human race, its distribution roughly corresponds to the Margraviate of Shlaudorf and the Grand Counties of Brevia (its namesake) and Yestricmarc.

Dracfoldi


A variant of the human race, its distribution roughly corresponds to the Grand County of Dracfold.

Hulran


A variant of the human race, its distribution roughly corresponds to the former Kingdom of Hulra (its namesake), and Hulra's successor-state, the Earldom of Etrancoast.
