Human

Humans are one of the Five Elder Races of the Spire, born in Vallen. They are associated with Fire of the five primordial elements, for their passion and capacity for great warmth as well as destruction. They enjoy a reputation of ambition and of being very open with their romance and love - for they are the race which least descriminates in finding mates, and humans find companions for love among all peoples.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Civilization and Culture

History

It is we Humans, with all of our Contradictions in Discours, all of our Flaws and Passions, which this World Do Affect; for in Almost Ever'y Nation is there Human; and Humans can be among the Most Beautiful of the Sapient Creatures.    Human Beings are Capable of War and the Most Evils of the World, but So Too can they Cause Great Envy and Love and Lust in the Other Races; for so Noble are their Dreams that when a Human Dreams, the world Shudders,— yet so Selfish can Humans be that Others can Fear their Backs lest they are Stabbed,— yet how Perfect'ly Loyal, at Times, as the Most Train'd Dog.    Humans are Capable of Great Art and Faith, and Terrible Art, and Terrible Faith. So that, in effect, Religion, which should most Distinguish us from Beasts, and ought most peculiarly to Elevate us, as Rational Creatures, above Brutes, is that wherein Humans often appear most Irrational, and more Senseless than Beasts themselves. Yet if the GODS did Create Us, then through Method and Rationality ought we to Worship Them.   Humans are as Humans Learn. Subjected to Tortures and Darkness Supreme, they come off as the Vilest Orcs, as the Most Foul Devils. Subjected to Love and Education they are as Gentle as Elves, and more Beautiful than Any.
