Human

Humans are one of the most numerous races on Terovin. Though they are largely divided by mere degrees of superficial distinction, great cultural diversity emerges related to their relative proximity to other races, regional positioning, and general interactions with one another. As a whole, humans often define themselves within their cultural spheres so if they are able to overlook their differences they may become a powerful force.

At present, there are numerous kingdoms that comprise the general spectrum of humanity, though nine kingdoms in particular are considered powers in their own right: Volantris, Schwar, and Bastion on Syv Nova; Zubia and Dowei on Syv Augur; Nirva, The Fallen Empire, and Kin’u on Jia; and the islands of Basted between Syv Nova and Augur in the Basted Sea.

As a whole, humans seemed to migrate across Terovin from an origination point in Zubia. Some believe that they were created by the gods as a method of maintaining devotion, while others hold they share a common ancestor with the Or’Kati and merely deviated from their central norm as they moved across the planet. Regardless, they occupy every known continent and generally establish kingdoms with some adherence to a centralized hierarchy.

Due to their tendency to be both prolific and politically aligned, humans have defined many of the modern great eras. The Imperium and Pax Novana are both resultant from human machinations.

Another kingdom, the Sikvar, have never associated directly with the other human kingdoms and are seen by many as closer to Or’Kati than humans. However, they share ancestry with humans even if they view them as lesser beings.
