Humans are a race of being living on Antoisia who were created by, Divasa and Ratri, and are the most wide spread of the Antiosian races. Humans have suffered a great deal on this continent, but have survived in small numbers in their home of The Forgoten Quarter in central Antiosia.

Locations
Although the Human nomads do not have a true country, they reside in a central area of Antoisia known as the Forgotten Quarter. Within the Forgotten Quarter rests the Valley of the Twin Giants, the central hub of Human society. Because of the nomadic nature of the Humans, The Valley of the Twin Giants is not a true capitol, but rather a central hub of trade and shelter for wandering humans, and the home of higher ranking members of the tribe.

Appearance
Humans appear just as one would expect; they are similar in appearance to Humans of our world.

Society and Culture
Human culture is very family-oriented, and no clear leader exists.The mages are the closest thing to rulers in the nomadic human tribe, but power is not considered in the nomadic tradition. The wisest mages will often settle disputes between families or lead small military campaigns, but do not consider themselves a ruling class or above their human counterparts. Because of the hardships humans have faced throughout their time in Antiosia, they have a strong inclination to stick together and aide one-another without hesitation.There are no exports and no houses that are more affluent than others resources are given to those that need it and are more often stolen from trains or caravans. Politics rarely plays into any decision that is made in their tribe.

Natural Resources
Humans have rather little in the way of natural resources or trade. Much of their resources are taken from caravans traveling between the Forna and Dryad territories. Humans subsist mainly on Nerovodi which they herd throughout their territory.

Government
Human government is a nebulous topic. Although there is no ruling class, respect and revereance is given to elders, especially those who are skilled in sand magic, and they are often looked to to settle disputes and distribute resources.

Military
The Human military has gone through many major changes throughout Antosia's history. In the time before the gods abandoned Antoisia, the human military was a rigourously structured entity with clearly defined ranks. Young men and women were required to commit to military service at the age of maturity.

After their disasterous war with the Dryads which nearly wiped out their people and forced a serious restructuring of their society, The human military is all but non-existant. Rather than a military, the humans formed several warbands under the control of various families which patrol the Forgotten Quarter and aid their human bretheren when the need arises. The other races see the Human Warbands as nothing but a rag-tag militia, or bandits.
