Humans are the most prevalent race in Cannor and much of the world. A widely diverse group, the race is known for its ambition and exceptional drive to go further than any has gone before.
History[]
There are many origin myths for humanity. In the Cannorian Pantheon and its offshoots many believe that humanity was created by the then god of war Agrados as servants and soldiers in the Godswar. It is said that humanity was the greatest of his creations and were the "epitome of Agrados' ambition and thirst for war" and as such originated in sin. Despite this, the victorious gods took pity on Agrados' creations and allowed them to exist after the war, and since then humanity is said to have strived as a whole to live a life of repentance for their creator.

Relations with Other Races[]
As an incredibly diverse and widespread race humanity's relations and opinions of other races vary greatly depending on the culture and circumstance. As a whole humans have good relationships, and is often seen as a leading figure, of the traditional 'non-monstrous' races: humans, halflings, elves, gnomes and dwarves. The dwarves especially so, due to the fact that the dwarves, in their diaspora from their homeland, found themselves living amongst and uplifting humans across Halann technologically and culturally - in fact, many of the world's earliest human economies traded with dwarven coin.
As the largely dominant race in much of the world, it is no surprise that the greatest examples of wrongdoing against other races comes from humanity, especially in casual brutality. In times of strife, combined with the typical human ignorance, it is not uncommon for pogroms to occur in intolerant human realms resulting in the deaths and expulsions of other races. Despite this, the most multicultural and tolerant places in the world started as and for the most part still is predominantly human cities, such as Anbenncóst.
In Cannor, humans have been both bastions of tolerance, such as welcoming the elves in The Landing and even mating with them enough to create a new type of upper class, and perpetrators of great atrocities, such as Castan Beastbane's purge of the satyrs and centaurs.
