Human Pride ...The continent was a wild thing, dominated by monsters the likes of which are rarely witnessed today except in the most abyssal corners of the land. Each day was a day stolen from death. Hatchets and crude arrows fought against poisonous claws, strange magical powers and giant beasts. Still, the Humans persisted. It is said that the gods were impressed with their determination in the face of desperate odds, and it was then that they started walking among mortals, dispensing gifts in exchange for worship. Lore, knowledge, magic, craft were imparted to the people, until they were capable of fending off their enemies. The major turning point was Qalaya, goddess of memory, gifting mankind with writing. It was then that the true history of Humans began. Within a few millennia, they had conquered a majority of Mizahar, and the threat from vicious monsters had vastly decreased... “Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.” We are many, we are proud, we are ancient! We are humans, and despite the blatant disrespect of the other races, we truly are the survivors. While some races have been born by the Valeterrian, we survived it. Not only that, but we survived our own apocalypse! We've survived two cataclysms, and we're still the most numerous of all races. We're awesome, and we don't care who knows it! |
