Human (race)
Entry:
In the reckonings of most worlds, humans are the youngest of the common
races, late to arrive on the world scene and short-lived in comparison
to dwarves, elves, and dragons. Perhaps it is because of their shorter
lives that they strive to achieve as much as they can in the years they
are given. Or maybe they feel they have something to prove to the elder
races, and that’s why they build their mighty empires on the foundation
of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, humans are the innovators,
the achievers, and the pioneers of the worlds.
