Humans

Humans are in the minority in Cyradon. The only humans currently on Cyradon are those who came as along the Royal Road. Most of the refugees, including Orsai among them, were fleeing the repression of the Asut Theocracy.

All ties to the humans’ homeland have been severed. While some of the survivors may cling to the traditions their former lives, cooperation is paramount for survival. Out of the many diverse people who came to Belynar, single unique culture will emerge in time that is a blend many different ways.

The majority of the humans who traveled the Royal Roads to escape the war are of Tarahiri or Skaldi stock. However, there are also a number of Orsai, traders caught the city, prisoners caught as the refugees fled and deserters from the Orsai army as well. In addition to these, there also a smattering of other humans from other far off lands.

Tarahir was a city of commerce, and thus had people from many different lands. When the war came upon Tarahir, many of those traders and visitors were cut off from home. Most of these merchants and visitors fled into the mountains along side then citizens and soldiers of Tarahir, and together they survived long enough to reach Cyradon.

Humans are the most adaptable, versatile, and diverse race on Mithra. They continually strive to build and expand, to reach above and beyond their current means. Unfortunately, this drive to succeed often puts them in direct conflict with both the other races of the world and even other humans during the course of their lives.

Male Tarahiri stand about 5'10" tall with the females averaging about 4" shorter. Tarahiri come in all sorts of different body types, and their skin is usually a light olive complexion.

• Orsai – The Orsai have dark skins, ranging from grayish olive tone to a very deep bluish-black, depending upon the region that their tribes originate from.
