Race: Human
-----------

Humans are the most versatile and enduring of all races. While having no language they call their own they speak different dialects depending on what region of Ferdarchi they come from. By their very nature, while not being naturally adept at any skill, they are so adaptable that they can learn anything. While other races have a difficult time learning some types of skills, humans can manage to excel at anything. It's this perseverance that allows them to flourish in the hostile and widely varied environments of Ferdarchi. It may seem to some that they have the least natural advantages, but by their sheer determination and their great adaptability they may become great at anything they try.

from Frederic's "Bestiary"

Human

Humans are a very prevalent and adaptable race, and in their study I admit to being slightly biased as I am a human myself. Humans tend to be considered as the average for a great many things. They certainly cannot match an ogre or even an orc for size, strength, or stamina, nor can they match an elf or rowan for mnemonic skills, but they are not very bad at any area either. Humans tend to be dabblers and generalists, never focusing in any one thing but rather trying a range of fields.

Human society tends to be the hub of society for many races. It is only rarely that you will find a solely human village or town anymore. Humans are found in nearly any climate and any situation. They have been known to have almost any type of government and both male and females are considered equal in human society. Humans can and do use nearly any type of weapon that they can lift and fill all niches in society.

Physically, humans are quite average. They stand from five feet to near seven feet tall, have some hair on their bodies, with full heads of hair usually. Their hair ranges from a pale blond to black and even red. Their skin ranges from being almost white to near black, passing through the browns on the way.
