Human

One can easily run into a human throughout Toril and most other regions. Though they are famous for their ambition and diversity, humans are disagreeable and fierce, often leading other creatures to view them with contempt. Humans generally lack any specialization and can be thought of as a jack-of-all-trades. They are the achievers, innovators, and pioneers of the worlds; their capacity to expand and endure makes them a dominant species.

Humans are the youngest of the common races. They are short-lived in comparison to elves, dragons, and dwarves. Maybe because of their shorter lives they try to achieve as much as they can in the years they have. The other reason may be that they feel they have something to prove to other races. And, because of this, they built their huge empires on the basis of conquest as well as trade.

Just like humans mix with each other, they also mingle with the members of other races. Humans might not be close to many but the get along with almost everyone. They serve as diplomats, ambassadors, merchants, magistrates, and functionaries of all kinds. We just published orc 5e race article have a look at that article.

Wherever they stay they build cities that last for years. They fully live in the present which makes them well suited for the adventuring life. Humans are adaptable opportunists doesn’t matter whether they are individual or group. They always stay aware to change social and political dynamics.

Human Culture and Society

History:

The origin of humanity is unknown. But they are an ancient race as because they originated before written records exist and also considered one of the creator races, however, they aren’t known to have actually created any species. There is also a confusing thing, and that is, while humans truly are native to Toril, they also have been found on other worlds as well. Mulani is such an example of this.

Regardless of their precise origins, 5e humans are undeniably successful. Human is one of the most dominant races of Toril. Maybe because of their strength they are eternally fractured and divided race. It is believed that this is in part because human race, unlike most other races, didn’t emerge as a whole but rather in many places at once.

Religion:

The human race is the most diverse race of all other common races. Some humans build sprawling cities that cover miles and other assemble into vast barbaric hordes. Most of them are neutral but they generally tend to congregate in civilizations and nations with a specific alignment. They also have the widest range of religions and gods.

Lasting Institutions:

Humans found sacred orders and institutions for the purposes where a single dwarf or elf might take on the responsibility of guarding a special place. Humans dream of immortality. And, they get this by ensuring that they will be remembered when they are gone. Some humans can be xenophobic. Their societies are inclusive. They welcome a large number of non-humans to their land as compared to the proportion of human who lives in non-human lands.

Those humans who seek adventure are the most ambitious and daring members of a daring and ambitious race. By amassing wealth, power and fame they seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows.

Human Names

Humans have so much variety than the other races. Despite that, they have no typical names. Some human children are given a name from other languages by their parents. Such examples are Elvish or Dwarvish. Most parents give names that are linked to their religion’s culture or to the naming tradition of their ancestors.

Physical characteristic and material culture of humans can change wildly from region to region. In the Forgotten Realms, the architecture, clothing, music, literature, and cuisine are different in northwestern lands of the Silver Marches than in distant Turmish to the east. Physical characteristics of human vary according to the ancient migrations of the earliest humans.
