Humans
Humans are the shortest-lived and most widely-spread species on Edarlein. Out of the Ten Empires, they rule four: Ignam, Azure, Aures, and Felez. They are the most likely out of all the races to be found outside of their homelands, and they are spread all across the planet. Some humans have even managed to befriend the famously isolationist Wood Elves and Minotaurs.
Also, perhaps because of their shorter lifespans, humans found institutions meant to last centuries or even millennia. The three human empires were actually built out of the remains of two past empires plus one religious organization.
Basic Information
Growth Rate & Stages
Humans start the transition to adulthood between the ages of 10-14 (for girls) or between 12-16 (for boys). During this time, young humans (also known as "teenagers", "tweenagers", or "teens" for short) begin experiencing mood swings, hair growth, and other hormonal changes. Puberty is considered a very difficult time for young humans, as they not only have to deal with their changing body, but also with new adult responsibilities that start to be placed on them.
"Periods"
During puberty, human females start experiencing menstrual periods, or just periods for short. Over the course of 21 days, the uterine lining builds up in preparation to hold a child. If no children are conceived, the uterine lining is shed over three to seven days.
