Human

Humans are the most populous and common species on The Material Plane. They outnumber all other species combined. However, Carreg Wynn tends to be more the exception to the rule and maintains a widely diverse population of many different species.

The humans of The Tawdonian Empire are commerce-minded people who value progress and personal achievement. They belong to a large empire that spans most of the world. Humans of the empire, often referred to as Imperials are expected to worship NOS, the three-faced god. However, small sects of Imperials may worship Old Gods. Magic is studied here, but that is only a development from the last hundred years, after the end of the First Contact Wars.

Conthestani humans are more nature-oriented, who believe in the importance of preserving history and tradition. They worship spirits, and believe that spirits are in every animal, plant, object, and place. They are composed of three separate communities that came together to defend their lands against the invading Empire several hundred years ago. As such, there are cultural differences within the Conthestani people. Psychic power is the most common in Conthestani humans, as their culture is named for their reverence of large psychic standing stones that have been scattered in the Eastern Woods for as long as anyone can remember.

The humans of the Crescent Isles are hardy Northern folk who live insular lives of hunting and raiding. These folk tend to be direct in their mannerisms and value power and control over ones environment and enemies. A combination of original human Islanders, Conthestani who have travelled far from the Eastern Woods, and various Fey who have found themselves in the Isles, the Crescent Islanders are an eclectic people, with several different clans with their own values and traditions. Crescent Islanders tend to worship the Old Gods and the Conthestani Spirits. Those who use magic, psychic, or faith magic are all colloquially known as Diviners, and are given great respect and importance.

The Frontier folk are what remains of humanity that doesn't affiliate with any particular human culture. The Frontier is a dangerous place, but is full of farmland and the remaining houses and villages of humans wiped out by The Plague. Anyone who can survive the monster attacks, banditry, ley line effects, and other strange happenings find themselves with more crop than they know what to do with. The Frontier attracts those looking for fortune, people escaping a previous life, those who find they can't fit in anywhere, or those who just want some isolated, rural peace and quiet. All sorts of gods are worshipped in the Frontier. The Frontier is where Carreg Wynn is located.
