Template:Humans in Froturn

Currently, 0 Humans live in the Kingdom of Froturn, making up % of the kingdom's population. The human population of Froturn is concentrated in the capital city of Yanus and the rural areas of Northern Froturn. The Froturnish Human Community is characterized male exogamy (high rates of intermarraige with the native High Elves) and female endogamy (preference for fellow Humans) or tendency towards back-migration to Etrand or Etrancoast.

The human population of Froturn was always tiny - or rather, the number of permanent settlers was always tiny. Before Etrand was founded, it was merchants from the Kingdom of Hulra, some who may or may not have settled permanently in Froturn. After Etrand was founded, traditionally, before the Royal Academy of Grandfolk was founded, humans seeking a proper education would often go to Froturn to study at the Academy of Yanus. Even after said royal academy was founded, many would still visit Froturn, for academic reasons. The richest of noblemen from Etrand would also visit Froturn frequently for its art, baths, food and other attractions. The pious would visit several of the holy sites within Froturn.

Occasionally, workers would come from Etrand to Froturn too do some of the dirty work that High Elves are reluctant to do, but few of these would settle in the kingdom permanently.

The first time the human community of Froturn grew to a size comparable to what it has now was during the reign of King Cairbré I of Etrand, whose re-embrace of religious fundamentalism and distaste for secularism has led many people - including Humans - to migrate to Froturn. These people included converts to the Cult of Nature fearing for their lives, self-proclaimed "free-thinkers" (liberal intellectuals) looking for greener pastures, petty noblemen whose immoral lifestyle resulted in an exile from their homeland, and various other political opponents and critics of the king. Some dissidents from Etrancoast also found a new home in Froturn, the most famous of which being Frythild Shairskwynn.

During the so-called "Druidic Dictatorship" of Consul Sim'vara and Ta'ael Myrth'nddare, Etrandish farmers were hired to work on the previously unused fields in Northern Froturn, especially on the newly-built fruit orchards and vegetable gardens. These hirelings were permitted to become permanent residents of Froturn after their contracts ended, most of whom chosing to extend their contracts until their retirement. King Ivahó's rise of power did result in the decline of urban Yanus's human community, with a portion of the humans living there being descendants of dissidents who fled Cairbré's Etrand out of concern for what would happen to them because of their Naturalist faith - these were now leaving Froturn in favor of Dragoc. After this mini-exodus, Froturn's human community would simply stagnate.
