Humans

Human
"Once again the caretaker Elves and the few caretaker Dwarves asked the Gods for help. 'Thus were born the humans, servants to both the Elves and their servants, the Dwarves. This race was strong and clever, but not as strong as the Dwarves nor as wise as the Elves. The Gods, fearing the loss of yet another worker race, were sparing in their gifts. Only Laessah took pity on the race, for they were as much her children as all the other races and species of the world, and so, she stole tiny bits of the God’s gifts and bestowed them upon the humans. To everyone’s pleasure, the race of man tended the fields and flocks. Though, much to many of the Gods’ surprise, some few of this race also became great poets, artists, musicians, and philosophers.

''Though they could never compete with an Elf in grace or a Dwarf in strength, their balance of Elf-like agility and Dwarf-like muscle made them well rounded, and unlike their brethren, the Humans were fighters. They were the ones who lived in the wilds, tending flocks and fields, ranging far afield from the sparkling cities of the Elves. When a party of Elvin scholars, or settlers, or priests, or noblemen, or, really, when any Elf went out into the world, they hired a band of Humans to guide them. Elves were the scholars, poets, musicians, and artists—the light and beauty of the world; Dwarves were the artisans, the craftsmen, and the miners; Humans were the workers of the land and the pathfinders of the world." ''- The Wanderer Between Truth and Reality (Working Title) - Morgan Puckett

The Humans are the jealous younger siblings of the Elves and the Dwarves. The Humans were the workers of the land, content in their lives until Phaelep, the God of Ambition and Desire, whispered in their ears and fomented discontent amongst them. They rose up against the Fey emboldened by the teachings of their new found religion, Soulism, and began a holy war against the Fey which resulted in the Great Migration from Atir to Ontearis. They are versatile and diverse, although most are strict adherents of Soulism.
