Humans are about as tall as elves, but not as physically strong as orcs. Their veins are somewhat visible through their transparent skin, which offers little protection to their vulnerable flesh. Human ears are rounded and hair is sparse on their bodies. Humans feel little kinship with other humans and have kindled the torch of war amongst themselves unlike any other race. Advancement and progress is pursued in all fields of life and society. Humans strive for knowledge, but they are afraid of that which they cannot foresee. Control is important to a human and is accomplished by establishing patterns. These patterns are based upon the assumption that if something happens frequently enough it is bound to happen again. Events and behavior that do not fit into a pattern can mock a human's mind into insanity. Humans will pursue a goal fanatically, making great sacrifices, especially if it involves power and wealth. Dwarves have come to know humans through their trade. They say about humans: "Humans combine the best of elves and the worst of orcs. At one moment they will be your best friend and in the next they will betray you. Their loyalty sways like the wind." Humans have like no other race spawned myths and legends about the perfect being. Humans as an overall race are talented in everything they put themselves to. They are famous for their many inventions and creations. Ironically it is their struggle for divinity that flaws their products and they never fully master any skills like elves excel in wood crafting or dwarves in metal forging.
