Religion
Humans have an urge to find a meaning in life like
no other race. Perhaps their short life spans make
death feel more imminent. They favor simplistic
concepts, like good and evil, which provide a universal
solution to all their problems, and the practice
of religion tends to be very sequential and prescribed.
Strong, passionate faith is common, but elaborate
understanding is not deemed to be as important.
Higher theological thoughts and discussions are
often reserved for the dedicated priests, but every
complex religion has a “light” version
that is easily grasped by the general population.
Humans commonly construct buildings
designated for worship, like temples and churches,
where the faithful flock, and the custom of conducting
pilgrimages to spiritual places is widespread.
Superstition
Human superstition is aroused by things that
lie outside their experience or does not fit their
outlook on the world. Unlike dwarves who rather
avoid and ignore things they are not familiar with,
the humans often come up with ideas and theories
as to what causes unexpected occurrences. This may
lure them to closer examine such things, especially
if their curiosity or greed is awakened. Thus rumors
of vanishing travelers can rapidly be turned into
tales of lurking monsters and guarded treasures.
