Human history is complex and marred by brutal tragedies. Before Evernyll’s Awakening, there were only the Eternyll Elves. It was their own civil war which first introduced Death to Evernyll, irrevocably changing the planet. When the war ended with the destruction of the Eternyll capital city, the victors were trapped among the rubble and ruin that had once been their home. The land was seeped with corruption and bloodshed, and the Font of Death which erupted from it cursed and mutated the Elves, ripping away their immortality, leaving them to become the first mortal race: Humanity.
Humans diverged entirely from their Elven roots, losing all semblance of their former culture, and becoming something entirely new. As they were beginning to spread and populate in the years following Evernyll's Awakening, they were rediscovered by those Eternyll Elves who had avoided the war. These Elves saw Humans as an unfortunate accident, a side effect of magical mutation, and a reminder of the shame of their own folly. Because of this, Humans were faced with a genocide that threatened to wipe their race from existence. This new war was not a unanimous decision among the Eternyll, who were still reeling from the fallout of the Awakening. The population fractured, as many new factions of Elves sought to instead seek out the Fonts of Power, and try to understand their new world, changing with it. They would go on to found their own new cultures, becoming the originators of the Elven Subtypes across the world. But for the remaining Eternyll, who continued to believe that their original way of life was the only true peace that they could hope to recapture, the extermination of the Humans became their sacred mission.
As the Eternyll sought to destroy them, Humans managed to engrain themselves in holdouts across Evernyll. Their perseverance proved impossible for the Eternyll to fully extinguish, and over hundreds of years Human cities have appeared in nearly every corner of the known world. The Human way is to conquer the natural world, and resist annihilation by any means. The oldest Human cities are either heavily fortified, or shockingly well-hidden in the world, with many only recently daring to extend trade and communications beyond their own territories.
Humans are known for being adaptable to any calling, however they are best known to other races for their martial prowess. They typically hold a strong sense of pride in their culture, which influences their daily lives, how they dress, and their sense of moral code. Still, they are known to often be very sociable. Humans are so populous by this point that they have mixed and mingled with most other nations, capable of bearing half-human children with most other races, which only further entrenches them into various populations across the world.
