Humans

Humans are the most powerful and numerous race during the Third Era. Though other races, such as elves and dwarves, still have their own city-states and petty kingdoms, the humans are the true political power of the Third Era.

After the Dwarven Empire fell at the end of the Second Era, humans were quick to fill the power vacuum. The Kingdom of Nova was formed in the North by the warlord Novarius, and grew into the mightiest empire in the world in just a few centuries, and humans also rule many of the other mightiest empires in the world, such as the Edan Empire and the Golden Empire of Swahin.

Physiology
Humans live on average up to 70 years of age, though they can also live much longer, in rare cases up to 100. They are the most physically diverse race, apart from perhaps elves.

Humans are able to mate with both orcs and elves to form half-orcs and half-elves respectively.
