Humans

Humans are a recurring race that appears throughout the Chapters series.

Based entirely on the real-world counterparts, humans are usually the most numerous and politically dominant species in every Chapters world. As the most common sentient species, they are often considered to be a standard or average to which the biology, psychology, and culture of other species and races are compared. The race is characterized by its equally balanced abilities, moderate intelligence, and high level of skill in numerous areas.

Background
Humans have only recently settled in the land of Eredis. This reflects their race as a whole. The Humans are, in comparison, still only a fledgling empire. Though in the little time they have walked the plains and carried weapons to battle, the Humans have achieved great things. In only two millennia, the Humans have fought two civil wars (one almost driving them to extinction), brought prosperity to their lands, and then set their sights on the future. However, the battle-wary Humans have had enough of war. They realize that they have conquered so much with so little, and with their claim of Brightcoast, they settle down. Peace has come to the human empire after 2,000 years.

Rulers
The Humans’ Monarchy has lasted for almost three millennia, with the core being an Absolute Monarchy (controlled mainly by the King/Queen, no voting). Though this has lead to injustice among some rulers, the majority of human royalty has been fair and kind to their people, for the rulers want nothing more than the advancement of their race, and also know that the public have their own thoughts and opinions, and to unjustly rule will cause another civil war. As such, there have only been two tyrants in the Human’s 3,000 year old Monarchy, and both have resulted in Civil Wars. The current ruling family is the Barra Family, a family that’s been around since the dawn of the Human Race. They claimed the throne after the populace defeated King Hagen in the bloodiest war of the Human’s history.
