Humans

A morally neutral race, created from the very sands of the earth mixed with the water and lava from the two caverns of the Temple. Neither good nor evil, but susceptible to both. Humans stand from heights of 4 ft to 7 ft, and are the most diverse race and most adaptable to changes in the environment. Although they do not have innate hatred towards any of the other races they are better friends with the Elves whom they trade with frequently, there are humans who are more at home in the huts of Orcs or the caves of Dwarves, as a diplomatic people they seldom make life long enemies but usually make life long friends. Humans are also able to learn Magic,as they do not suffer any natural resistances or weaknesses to it.

Introduction
Humans are the most adaptable and malleable race of Aegis. Much of their cities and homes are built from the resources nearest to the place where they settle, and they tend to congregate around single leaders, with most quite happy to adopt the ways and customs of their neighbors.

Humans are the shortest living race in all of Aegis, the curse of Iblees limiting them to twelve decades at most.

Appearance
Humans have the widest range of appearance, but are noted for the lack of intensity in their coloring. Human hair can cover the full spectrum, but full saturation of colour is very rare. Purples, blues, and greens usually serve as highlights in black or brown hair, while yellows, oranges, and reds, are usually very muted compared to the intensity of their expression in other races (such as Elves and Dwarves, respectively). Human skin color is usually a mixture of light pink, dull yellow, and brown, with the intensity of each usually dependent on the sun climate of the individual's area. Humans are unique in the ability of their skin to darken and lighten in response to more or less exposure to sun, though the amount their skin changes depends on the human's ancestry and the median shade that human was born with.

The various Human bloodlines mix and separate easily, but generally the best indicator of Human bloodline is build and skin colour.

Northerners are muscular, sturdy, and lighter skinned than the majority of Humans.

Southerons are tall, lithe, and very dark skinned.

Halflings are as variable in skin and hair color as other Humans, but are usually much shorter, reaching about one meter (three feet) on average. And although some Halflings have the immature proportions of a child, those are very rare, with most having the proportions of any other Human, though much smaller in stature.

Human eye colours vary across the visual spectrum, but are rarely as vivid as the colouring found in other races.
