Human

Humans, (aka mankind or humanity) are a resilient species native to the world of Astraea. Many live on the eastern coast of the Sea of Stars, but some have overcome their fears and settled on the dangerous west coast. They founded their first city, Cabrygg, sometime during the early First Era. During the reign of King Jomash, the humans banded together in what they call the Empire. However, soon after that Cabrygg declared independence from the Empire in small rebellion which led to the demise of King Jonn, and now styles themselves Kingdom of Cabrygg. This led the Empire to found their capital of Caer Feci on the northern coast of the Narrow Sea. Later, the Empire was thrown into a bloody Succession War, during the 4th Century of the First Era, that lasted 24 years and almost took every able-bodied man to his grave. Since the Succession War, there have been relatively peaceful and alliances, treaties and other have flourished. Most notably, their alliance with the Dwarves.

In the beginning.
Humans are relatively young as an independent species, but dwarven scholars and historians believe that modern humans descended from Giants thousands of years ago. Giants, who lived west of the Sea of Stars, eventually got smarter and smarter until they at last started spreading around the world. Those who fared east planted their seeds on the highlands and the great forests that made up this unexplored new land.

For many years, the humans were divided in tribes that continually warred each other over territory, women and food. Sometime before the sundering, most of the tribes banded together and formed a common society and (at some point) the city of Cabrygg.
