About humans

Humans are the most widespread and adaptable people of Faerûn, defined by ambition and versatility rather than ancient tradition. Their relatively short lifespans drive them to achieve greatness quickly, producing heroes, tyrants, scholars, and explorers in equal measure. Culturally diverse and endlessly resourceful, humans found kingdoms, forge alliances, and reshape history. They reflect this adaptability by excelling in virtually any role, relying on determination and balance rather than singular strength.
