Humanity
Humanity, while the largest numbered species in Ta Los, is not the dominate species in the Omniverse or on Kralis. They are a brutish species despite the fact that they are found in nearly every region of every corner of the Omniverse, Ta Los or Kralis. What sets humans apart from all the other species is their drive, their ambition, the desire to have big dreams. They are at times more cruel than a Rhakas can be and at the same time be able to out design and out build the Chovah and Ha’Vatu. If numbers gives a species domination, then certainly, humans are the predominate species. However, that is not the only thing that makes a species dominate. There are other factors, and it is those factors that allow Chovah, Ta’Jahu, Bhahuul ad many other “civilized” species to flourish in Ta Los and the Omniverse.
Of all the species in the Omniverse the human species comes with a great deal of varieties and cultures that seem unimaginable by many of the other species, even the Ta’Jahu with their numerous Houses are out numbered by the sheer number of cultures and bloodlines within the human species.
There are four dominate human cultures in the known Omniverse, and they all originate on the world of Kralis, if not within the lands of Ta Los.
Dejah
Dejah are truly the common men of humanity. They are among the oldest lines of humanity, their origins coming from the Byris people. They have a huge range of skin colorations, from very dark brown to olive to pale, and their eyes tend to be green, brown, blue, hazel or gray. Every combination of color, size, body type and hair & eye color, even those not listed above, are possible among the Dejah. They do not adhere to any one particular region or even culture.
Culturally speaking the Dejah (literally meaning of the west in ancient common) is the largest ethnic group of humans throughout the Omniverse. They are referred to as the Ancient Men, as they are thought to be the first men to emerge from the depths of time. They tend to be the dominate cultural group through out Kralis and the Khirius Solvetras region of the Omniverse.
Dejah are a very proud, resilient and obstinate group. They tend to be loud, boorish and brazen. They have a strong vein of “chaotic-ness” to them. Yet they are very generous, sunny and communicative. They love to talk, particularly of their families. They are thought to have invited the concepts of lords, knights and kingdoms as they are known today. Within the dejah are a number of bloodlines that expand the history and legends of these people from the east. Besides the common Dejah there are four extended bloodlines: Alahari, Kikasai, Armandu, Tsingari
Isande
The Isande tend to have long blonde, black, white or red hair, light to deep brown skin, and pale blue to brilliant green eyes. They are very tall humans, ranging in size from six to eight feet. Most Isande are a vibrant, laughing, loving and fierce people, and they can be very aggressive and stubborn when pushed. They tend to distrust the arcane, preferring to use tools and a strong arm to mold the world in their image.
They are a thick-chested, thick-necked and thick-boned people and some claim thick-headed, though to mistake that for being dull-witted would be deadly. Most males are very large and incredibly strong for the human species. Females, while smaller and of much finer build, are no less strong and are often great fighters in their own right.
As a culture the Isande are known conquerers, hailing from the northern and western reaches of Ta Los. They have a deep sense of honor and are very conscious of face and its crucial underpinnings of their culture and society. While not soft spoken, they understand the need for grace, dignity, prestige and reputation. They often appear shy and self conscious to the Dejah, especially around foreigners or in situations that they are not used to. They are not very expressive and are not physically affectionate.
In addition to the Isande there are three additional bloodlines: Rhuan, Pwagan, Nhoonjeri.
Kaarish
Kaarish, often referred to as the Men of the South, have dark brown to silver to reddish hue hair, bright blue to green eyes, and white to dark tan skin color. They also have thinner and shorter bodies than most humans. As a group, they are fond of crafts, inventions, magic, and hard work. They also enjoy having great feasts and parties of such grandeur that it boggles the mind. They are a wily, witty, and intelligent people who prefer using their minds over harsh weapons – a sharp contrast to the brutal, to-the-point thinking of an Isande. Many great warriors have been born from these people, and were legends in their own right.
The Kaarish are high-spirited, brave, avaricious, and revengeful people. Yet at the same time their culture requires them to hospitable and compassionate. They are highly independent, and look upon all other species to be beneath their notice. Kaarish are fond of crafts, inventions, magic, and hard work. They also enjoy having great feasts and parties of such grandeur that it boggles the mind. They are a wily, witty, and intelligent people who prefer using their minds over harsh weapons – a sharp contrast to the brutal, to-the-point thinking of an Isande. Many great warriors have been born from these people, and were legends in their own right. The Kaarish count two additional bloodlines within their bloodline: Khaja, Qujan
Junde
The Junde are beautiful beings, as humans go. They are a light tan to black. They are of average build, with tight muscles, and long torsos. They stand between 6’ and 7’. As a group of individuals they are fond of inventions and technological matters. They are quiet and very aloof. Many would consider this a snobbishness of the culture, however, their silence is more akin to quiet contemplation of the world around them. Traditionally, Junde value harmony, self-control, integrity, commitment to hard work and education. Most of their values revolve around pride, honor, discipline and most importantly loyalty. Those of a Junde decent believe in one family, on set of rules and believing in the greatness of their destinies and overcoming any obstacles to achieve these. Besides the Junde there are two additional bloodlines: Uhan, Nuhavni.
Bloodlines
Bloodlines refer to the additional major cultures that each of the four dominate cultures have evolved and changed over the millenniums since their “birth” into the Omniverse.
Dejah Bloodlines
The Alahari people are a unique bloodline of the Dejah, they were among the most enslaved humans by the Kingdom of Athigurian for thousands of years. They are truly the people of the West. They are the main inhabitants and motivators of the Western Realms, specifically Talica and Solthania. They are of a white to dark brown skin, with bright blue to deep green eyes, flaxen to ombre to amber to black tight wavy and curly hair. They are not a nomadic people, having set their ancestral roots in the northwest, learning to live in the shadows of the giastori and their kingdom. They are a stubborn, and strong willed people that view the west as squarely in their “property” and their destiny to rule over.
The Armandu are traditionally a nomadic group of the Dejah bloodline living mostly in the Eastern Realms, and the Baligrog Mountains. Often referred to as wanders and nomads. A very small number of Armandu clans are known to inhabit the Western Realms amongst the Uhan and Nuhavni. Yet just as many Armandu have settled small villages in high mountain passages, hidden valleys and through out the Baligrog Mountains. Must Armandu are of beige to amber skin tone with large, expressive light blue to deep green eyes. Their hair tends to be of dark brown or even sheer black, very few are blonde or platinum. They are a lithe and long-limbed people. Other than the thick manes of hair that both sexes grow, men are known only to be able grow long mustaches.
The endless savanna plains of the Empire of Rinsha Adynshra are a vast sea of tall grasses, broken up by forests of densely packed trees with open canopies. It is filled with fauna ranging from lions, cheetahs, alligators, elephants and more along with the Kikasai bloodline culture. The Kikasai are are thought to be the ancestors of the Dejah people themselves, or at least the transitional bloodline to the original Dejah humans known as the Byris people. The Kikasai people are a tall folk standing between six and eight foot in height. They have the widest tone skin colors in the human species from white to dusky, amber to an espresso brown with dark gray, blonde or platinum colored hair with dark eyes (brown, black, green or deep blue).
Of a similar bloodline to the Armandu, the Tsingari people are a nomadic people that predominately live in the Northern Realms, specifically the Kingdom of Nashatras. They refer to themselves as “the walking people,” or tinkers. There are a number of clans that also are known to wander the northern portion of the Southern Realms, often clashing with Armandu over inhabitable areas that both view as important. Most Tsingari are a short people ranging in height from four-feet to five-foot-five. They tend to be a lithe people, with honey or bronze colored skin tones, but predominately a pale ivory color. Their hair color ranges from deep red to sheer black and they tend to have bright eyes ranging in color from blue, to green or even white.
Isande Bloodline
Rhuan are a smaller, more lithe version of the Isande they are well built with tenuous muscle. They are much more aggressive and warlike and tend to inhabit much of the land in and around the Ice Kingdoms as well as Iztalik. Unlike the common Isande, the Rhuan do not mistrust magic but rather exalt their shamans and witches to chieftains and queens. Rhuan tend to be of a pale ivory to deep amber and brown skin color, yellow to auburn hair, and light golden eyes. Most Rhuan stand around five-foot-five to six feet and are dressed in various wild animal skins.
The plains around the Vast, the open region of the Ceithlenn plains, and the wild regions of Alisanos are home to the Pwagan bloodline of Isande. These light sand tone skinned people are as tall as the Isande, but are not as thick chested or thick boned, they are tall and lanky with long arms and long spindly fingers. They have incredibly long legs, and shorter bodies. Most of the men shave their heads except for long length of hair that runs from the top of their heads down the back and tends to be braided. The women are known to shave their heads bald, but have intricately woven temporary body art done with a red dye.
Often referred to as the “Horsemen of the West”, Nhoonjeri are a nomadic bloodline of the Isande. Nhoonjeri are a powerfully built bloodline, standing around six-and-half feet tall on average. They are light amber to deep olive of skin and dark-haired, and most have blue or silver eyes. For most of the nomad clans, their entire culture is based around horses. The Nhoonjeri and their horses, for those clans that ride them, are inseparable companions. Most Nhoonjeri are given their first horse, a powerful breed of swift and strong horse known as khulakhar when they are old enough to ride. There is a deep sense of friendship and understanding between man and beast like no other.
Kaarish Bloodline: Amongst the Kaarish bloodline, the Khaja are known for their ability to dwell within the deep hot deserts of the Southern Realms. They make up the entire bloodline of the shedbahyt. Khaja have uniformly black to sandy blonde hair, golden eyes and have rose beige to sienna colored skin. The men tend to grow thick beards. Their clothing tends to range from silks to linen to cotton robes with headdresses, veils and turbans.
The Qujan are lightly built, with lithe frames and incredible natural flexibility. They have swarthy skin and dark-colored hair and brilliant light eyes. Men are clean shaved with long hair that is braided with various colorful strands, while women are fond of jewelry and silk veils. They can be hot tempered, nosy and are amongst the more socially accepting of all the various species in Kralis and perhaps the Omniverse.
Junde Bloodline
The Uhan people are much shorter than the Junde, and very thin with lanky arms, slight build and a delicate build. Many never get over five-feet in height, and many can often be mistaken for the Aelwyn species from a distance. They have a swarthy almond or bronze complexion with jet-black to chestnut colored hair. The men closely crop their hair with a long braid, women tend to have thick, long and straight hair. Most Uhan are merchants, but they are well known for their remarkable sword play as well as their ability to disappear into the shadows.
Of the various human sub-cultures, the Nuhavni are the most unique. They are human by all accounts, however they are amongst the tallest of the human species standing between 10 and twelve-feet tall with smooth, dark striped light olive to tan skin, with large golden or bright blue eyes. Those that have never seen a giant, refer to the Nuhavni as the “giants of the north”. Their bodies are extremely slender with narrow waists and very wide shoulders. They have long, spindly arms, with a long torso and very long legs. They are known to inhabit Iztalik, and the high mountains of the Lands of Talica and the cold forests of the States of Kraz Nal Tyr. There are a number of clans that call Gashinar home. They are well known as powerful warriors and spellcasters.
Psychology
While the human species is a wide ranging group of many ethnicities, but are by no means the dominate species by any measure within the Omniverse. Comparatively, there as any Chovah, Ta’Jahu, Rhakas, Ha’vatu, Bhahuul as there are humans through out Kralis and the Omniverse beyond.
Humans are not considered to be a “strong” species as they tend to have weaker bodies and duller senses. However, they are well known for their adaptability to nearly every environment on nearly every known world and plane in the Omniverse. They are the most adventurous, explorers by nature and highly driven to dominate the region they inhabit.
Not being a hardy species, they are easily threatened by diseases and illnesses. They have shorter life spans and physically grow older faster. They are more fragile and more susceptible to changes in their environments that other species are.
While the human species is not built to be the best in any one skill, or fill a particular niche in the Omniverse, they are well known for their tenacity their ability to never give up or give in. They do not stand down against overwhelming odds. Like the Acries they are able to fill in the spaces in the Omniverse where other species will not.
They are born in chaos, and much of their life is filled with chaos. Because of this they are known as the “children of chaos”, and many believe that the human species must be under the protection of one of the many deities, particularly Gishra or even the force of Chaos. Humans have an endless drive to control and understand the world around them. When they cannot solve a situation they tend to create a tool or discover a different way of solving it.
Among all the various species, humans are living contradictions they seem to have the greatest capability of being incredibly savage, cruel and evil as well as having the capacity of warm open hearts, showing great depths of sympathy and kindness. Of the “civilized” species they are most capable of incredible and horrific evil, equal at times denizens of dark planes and lost worlds. They are also capable of great love, devotion and faith, both within themselves and towards their deities. They are more relentless than a Chovah, more dutiful than an Ta’Jahu, and more curious than Aelwyn and once they have chosen a goal, either as a community or an individual, they become set in their movement: unyielding in their determination.
The human species are the dominate species of the Southern Realms and can be found nearly everywhere in one “form” or another through out all of Kralis, Ta Los and the Omniverse. Their undying desire to be like the other species, to have great empires, to dominate their world, to gain great power in their short live spans has driven them to the far reaches of the Omniverse, into the depths of the Celestial Planes, to plumb the dark reaches of Tav Aeduhn (DeepLands) and much more.
Of all the species through out the Omniverse, humans have the greatest capacity for good or evil, and they have been blessed by Gishra or perhaps the force of Chaos with their greatest advantage: fertility. The human species can reproduce at rates much faster than many other species. It is this single trait that allows them to challenge the longer lived species for dominance in the Omniverse. Their ability to overwhelm enemies en mass in such great numbers is terrifying even to the more powerful Chovah, Ta’Jahu and Rhakas.
Despite this great advantage, humans are still not as dominate or as powerful as they could be. Compared to other species human life is full of danger beginning with childbirth that can lead to death for both mother and child, which is not an uncommon event.
Like several other species humans are born into the world weak and dependent on their parents to protect them and ensure that they survive. Unlike other species the length of time that a human is dependent on their parents or other family is nearly twice the length for other species, in some cases nearly triple the time. By the time a Ha’vatu, a Chovah or an Ta’Jahu has reached an age where humans are capable of true independence humans have long been working as apprentices or even masters in their chosen craft.
Society and Culture
There are as many variations of human society as there are human sub-cultures. Amongst the oldest species on Ta Los humans can trace their histories deep into the mists of time, when compared to other common species, human societies are new and seem to always be in a state of continual change, empires collapsing, kingdoms fracturing, and the rise of new nations built upon the remains of lost civilizations. Human societies built upon flexibility, ingenuity, ambition and colonization. They often find themselves in contact with other species both as enemies and allies. These societies are proud, arrogant, and diversified in amongst themselves. Humans are by no means the dominate species in the world, though they are the most pervasive.
Family and Structure
In nearly all human cultures families are made up of a set of parents, one to eight children, a set grandparents. This tends be the cultural core common through out all cultures. Yet, beyond this the family unit may increase and include aunts, uncles and cousins. Some familial units are matriarchal while others are made up of several wives and a singular husband, or a married couple and numerous concubines (both male and female depending on the power structure within the family).
Community
Most human civilization ranges from small nomadic tribes to vast urban communities and they vary in how they interact depending on their bloodlines and what part of the world they are from. There are fourteen distinct cultures within the human species. Each one with a very distinct type of community built upon kinship networks and organized around a common identity based on shared ancestry, history, language and cultural norms.
Most communities are based around the family-based social structure as many other species and are built into a band, tribe, village, town, city, state and ultimately kingdoms. Unlike most other species in the Omniverse, humans are a very internally divided species, where slavery and mis-treatment of same-species to same-species is rare amongst other species, it is a common occurrence amongst humans. These divisions, in addition to sub-species abilities, are what truly pit human against human.
While many species have variations in what comprises a community for humans this is more specific per sub-culture. The Isande, the Rhuan, the Khalgols and the Pwagan are of the same culture, yet each of their community types are each very different which are completely different from the Kaarish, Khaja and the Qujan cultures.
Art
Art is as diverse in range as the various human cultures in the Omniverse. It often comes, like with the majority of species, in a number of activities from paintings to writings to songs, to performing arts to sculptures and architecture.
Commonly humans borrow from other species and cultures as heavily as much as they borrow from humans.
Customs, Traditions and Beliefs
Humans abound in traditions from the personal to the community. They have even been known to copy other species traditions and convert them into their own by changing dates and other minor details. Traditions range from the celebration of birthdays to death, to marriages, to crop harvesting and so much more. Each sub-culture (and sub-sub-cultures) have their own variations on these traditions.
Within human society many objects, beliefs and customs can be traditional. One of the more common traditions shared amongst all human is their desire to alter their appearance. Like many species humans have a varied and lengthy history of altering their appearance by wearing clothing and adornments, by trimming or shaving hair or by means of body modifications.
For many body modification is the deliberate altering of the human body for any reason, such as aesthetics, sexual enhancement, a rite of passage, religious reasons, to display group membership or affiliation, to create body art, shock value, or self-expression.
For humans the definition of belief or what they believe is radically different than what other species belief. For humans their beliefs are based on their state of mind, either as an individual, as a religion, or as a whole community. Where other species view beliefs more akin to cultural values, humans determine their definition of belief on more akin to faith: taking what is for what is and without any factual certainty.
Humans tend to define their world through the lens of their believes and faith. When it is challenged by others, including those within the human species, humans are known to become resolute in their defense of their belief, making an expression of “faith” in respect to a performance by an agent (deities, demons or others) or express a strong performance in their self-confidence a faith in one’s self. For humans beliefs are intimately entwined with their religion and spirituality.
Marriage
Some form of marriage has been found to exist in all human societies. Its importance can be seen in the elaborate and complex laws and rituals surrounding it. Although these laws and rituals are as varied and numerous as human social and cultural organizations, some universals do apply.
For humans the main function of marriage is to ensure the rights of the partners with respect to each other and to ensure the rights and define the relationships of children within a community. In human societies marriage has historically conferred a legitimate status on the offspring, which entitles them to the various privileges set down by the traditions of each community, including the right of inheritance. In most societies marriage has also established the permissible social relations allowed to the offspring, including the acceptable selection of future spouses.
The universality of marriage within different societies and cultures is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions for which it provides structure, such as sexual gratification and regulation, division of labour between the sexes, economic production and consumption, and satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status, and companionship. For humans its strongest function is concerned with procreation, the care of children and their education and socialization, and regulation of lines of descent.
Holy/Dates of Importance
The number of holy and important dates are as numerous as there are human cultures and regional distinctions. However, as with all species humans all share a number of dates that cross cultures, though they may change in details they have remained the same at their core.
Days of Worship: All human cultures revere one or two days as days of worship for one or more deities. These days are often used to worship specific deities that are venerated by the various cultures. Not all people worship the same deity(ies), though all deities have a specific day that are known to all humans, as well as other species.
New Year: This is annual holiday and festival celebrated predominately as the sign of a new year for most cultures, these tend to be centered around the first months of the year. They are filled with a day and night of reverie often celebrated with food and a great deal of drinking.
Spring Equinox: Predominately, held during the fourth month of the year and is a celebration of renewal and rebirth. Most cultures recognize the time between Nathag and Menet as the day of the spring equinox.
Summer Equinox: Like the spring equinox, this is a celebration of life, fertility and the hopes for a good harvest. It is celebrated with outdoor feasts, singing, dancing, and bonfires. Most cultures celebrate the summer equinox between Lehet and Elenk, during the Dragon’s Heat.
Fall Equinox: Just as the spring and summer equinox are celebration of fertility, the fall equinox are celebrations for giving thanks for bountiful and blessed harvest, and generally takes place after harvest. Most cultures celebrate between Magatos and Sapadek during the Signing.
Winter Equinox: During the Feast of Ice many cultures celebrate this as a way to release the darkness of the year in favor of the light and to welcome back the light of the new day. It a day long celebration to strengthen family bonds, connecting with ancestors by celebrating the ancient ways.
Dress/Clothing
What humans wear is as varied as their cultures. From the civilized Dejah who wear pants, shirts, dresses, kilts made from dyed fabrics and textiles in a wide range of colors and designs, to the northern dwelling clans of the Rhuan bloodline of Isande that are dressed in highly detailed ad colored reindeer skins, bear furs and thick cottons to stay warm, to the southern realms Khaja bloodline of the Kaarish who wear silken undergarments of varying colors under a loose calf-length tunic made of one piece of material. It has long sleeves, a high color and buttons along the right shoulder and tied around the waist with a broad sash. The Nhoonjeri clans of the west who dress in a woolen shirt (cloak) like garments of varying colors with long sleeves that is worn over full body undergarment of soft cotton that has a wide-broad skirt and wear high hard leather boots.
The junde are known to wear very colorful full body wraps over a long dress of soft cotton or silk, or a long skirt and a shirt of similar material. The outer garment is a single piece of cloth that is wrapped around their body. Both sexes are known to wear a headdress that wraps around their heads and face exposing only the eyes.
Food
Like most species, humans have a wide ranging cuisine based upon their culture and the traditional regions they hail from. These can range eating raw fish and the occasional raw meat from cows, elk, and sheep to the eating of monstrous creatures such as the xelsada to the consuming of the blood of other creatures in coffees or ales.
Often cultures influence others and this fusion can create wondrous tastes and textures to exotic flavors and weird textures that are only palpable to a specific group of individuals.
Most human cultures use a great deal of rice, grains, poultry, red meats as well as a wide variety of vegetables, such as the Junde who are vegetarian eating nothing that is produced by a creature, but where the Isande have no qualms about ingesting the hearts of freshly killed wild animals or sucking out the bone marrow of their kills.
While it is rare and is often viewed upon with disdain, there are those groups that believe in cannibalism.
Religion and Spirituality
Of all the various species in the Omniverse, none are more fixated on the worship of deities than that of humans. They are devout followers of the great Celestial beings as well as devotees to other beings that can grant them great powers. Many say that it is because of humans and the strength of their believes is what gives power to the gods of the Omniverse.
As with human traditions, human religious beliefs has taken on many forms which vary by sub-species culture and individual perspective. Humans worship the entire pantheon of gods in the Celestial Omniverse each with their own rituals and moral codes. Human religion also includes a number animistic nature folk beliefs, ancestor worship, demonology, meditative religions, spirit worship.
For all humans, whose life spans are short, religious worship is meant to answer various questions and issues for them: life after death, creation origins, nature of the world around humans, and the fate of the human species.
Human spirituality is tied closely to their desire to fit in the Omniverse. Where other species accept their place in the Omniverse, humans - driven by their greed and their need to dominate - have a basic need to define their place within Omniverse both spiritually and as a species.
Despite the various human sub-species and their various customs and religious point-of-views all humans worship the same deities, the names may change from culture to culture but the pantheon remains the same.
Human religion, much like a few other species, tends to have zealots, but it seems the humans have a greater than average number of zealots, often believing that one deity is more powerful than other deities. These believes tend to lead to conflict and wars between various kingdoms and nations. Because of the vast diversity of human cultures, they tend to be the only species that will wage war with each other based on religious belief.
The Gods
Nearly all humans have an understanding of the deities of the Omniverse. The majority of them known them by their Dejah given names, but several other cultures have other names for them and venerate them for different reasons. There are even groups of religious zealots that worship the One, and believe that all the other deities are just an aspect of the One.
Others are known to venerate various demon princes and other fiendish creatures. Still others venerate immortal creatures of undeath such as powerful yaqu, or even the occasional vampire or mummy.
And yet there are many more that do not care about the gods, religion or even spirituality. Many simply do no believe in the deities and have no use for them in their daily lives.
Death and Funerals
As with most things human, death, funerals and the afterlife is a mishmash of concepts, believes and rituals. What is true amongst all humans is the believe in the afterlife. How one gets there, what happens when you are there all depends on the cultural values of the sub-culture.
Within the Isande culture they bury their dead in large mound-like crypts called halduim which are then planted with a type of yellow-red ivy. The Rhuan have similar tradition, but instead of mounds, they dig large circular holes and then construct a large underground tomb that is locked from the inside.
The Junde believe that burying the body is sacrilegious and it should be elevated upon great stands known as sei lun where the dead are wrapped in thick white linen that are laced with salts and other alchemical elements to preserve the body. After thirteen days the body is then cremated and the ashes spread into the earth near their village or even in the garden of their home.
Whereas the Uhan traditionally cremate their dead upon giant pyres designed in similar fashion as the Junde.
After Life
Most humans believe, or want to believe in an afterlife. Most believe that the Celestial Realms are real and that when they die they will be judged and either they will travel to join their ancestors in the holy realms or they will find themselves living forever in pain and torture in the dark, fiendish realms of death.
Like many other species, humans believe that the essential aspect of individuals, often referred to as a soul or consciousness, lives on after death in some part.
Some believe in an after life without a reference to the Celestial Realms or deities, others believe in the deities but do not believe in an afterlife. Others believe that every living thing has a soul and it exists after death, while others believe that in reincarnation as the soul continues to learn lessons to become truly one with the Omniverse or deity.
Language
Human language, Common, is based on a single language with numerous dialects and accents. Human names vary in their usage and length, and some humans place high importance in a name or title – mostly politicians and arrogant nobility. Within each sub-species is listed a number of male and female names that are traditionally used.
All humans speak some form of Common in one of its many dialects. It is the most common form of language found within the world, and it is the world’s youngest. Its current modern day format differs greatly from its ancient form (Yae’hldra) which is listed below. When speaking or writing modern day common it is common for Subject-Verb-Object order. Old common tends to follow Subject-Object-Verb or Verb-Subject-Object order depending on the inclination of the writer or speaker.
