Humans (or "folk") are one of the civilized races that inhabit Eora. There is great ethnic diversity between humans in different regions of the world, but they are the most common race in the Dyrwood, the Aedyr Empire, Old Vailia, and the Vailian Republics. Though not as large as the towering aumaua, humans are known for their strength and willpower. There are four sub-races of humans: Meadow, Ocean, Savannah, and Storm folk.

Overview[ | ]
The origin of humanity is something yet unknown. However, they are certainly an ancient race, first known record {to us} refer to Human tribes that formed the Aedyr Empire in 300 AI, it along with Grand Empire of Vailia has been expansive empire which led the way for Human expansion into colonies thousands of miles away.
Of all the races in Dyrwood, humans are the most abundant. They run the middle of the road when it comes to physical prowess - stronger than orlan, weaker than aumaua – and as a standard live 60-100 years.[1]
