Humans appear in the Western Continent

Population Migration / Travel

The first humans appear in the Western Continent. Shortly after small numbers show up in the eastern side of the Northern Crest, between dwarven and goblinoid settlements, a huge horde of them arrives in the mountain passes between the peaks.

The first cultural exchanges start between humans and goblins of the Green Gorge as well as with dwarves of the Whitefist kingdom. Several documents narrate the arrival of this race on the continent, a race very similar to something already seen on the Eastern one. The availability and objectivity of these accounts varies, but some descriptions and characteristics of the human tribes is shared between dwarven, goblinoid and, in following years, druidic documents.
Humans reportedly already believed in the same pantheon worshipped by every other race in the known world. Their societal structure revolved around a male warlord and they were nomadic hunters-gatherers. Moreover, they were particularly skilled in horseback movement and fighting, something rather uncommon in the continent: the elves and the druids of the nature-worshipping tribes considered animals sacred and did not harm them nor use them for their own purposes, while dwarves and goblins were too small to profit from horseback combat and lived in cities where moving mounted might have proven difficult. For clarification, the original druidic documents telling of the arrival of the humans are nowadays in possession of the humans themselves, archived in secret chambers of their libraries or palaces. However, after the "Triple" humans' culture increased, and after a while the original documents were copied by human hands and where later treated as the originals.
