Ithis Humans
Not as tall nor graceful as the Elves, nor as strong as the Dwarves, nor as magical as the Feychyldren, humans reside right in the middle of the non-furred civilized races as an adaptable center. They are the most numerous race of all, save the Animalia. Humans were created to care for Cyrus and to act as bridge between all of the races. Humanity has spread like wildfire to all the areas of the world and there are many different unique groups within humanity, so much so that some clans of Humans are considered different subsets of the race, and bear different genetic traits.

The River People of Andred
Icelanders
Icelanders are descended from the humans who escaped from Godelven oppression with help from the Dwarves at the beginning of the Godelves rise to power. They traveled deep into the snowy wastes of Ithis, and hid there where none could find them. The Godelves figured the escaped humans would perish, but indeed they adapted and came back to join Elos's army and help overthrow their Elven slave-masters. When Maingth was thrown to the ground, the climate of the Icenglades changed, becoming even colder and covering more land. The Icelanders once again adapted, taking to technology and the stone known as Core to heat their cities and enable life to continue on.
Perosians
The human races of Pero tend to live either in the desert as nomads, or to the eastern side of the continent in cities like Mill and Ierrick. Humans in the desert are nomads and traders, or they live in nuclear family groups in the 3 desert cities. The Perosian desert humans have become darker skinned, and follow a different lifestyle based on holy writings brought with the 3 Godelves who helped them escape in the first rebellion against the Godelves. These 3 were considered prophets, and the cities in the desert bear their names.
Clavians
One the southern edge of the world of Cyrus lies the continent of Clave. Clave is a diverse land bearing oriental tones. Humans are a majority of the people in clave, and while for the most part they follow taeosian worship, their ways are different from any of the other continents. The Clavian humans have developed a form of celestial worship to work with the intermediaries of Taeos. This culture has spread to the other inhabitants of the continent. The physical makeup of Clavian humans is a slightly shorter, and differently toned human. Clave is however known as a conglomeration of many peoples and races, and there are many diverse genetic lines here.
Aruna
Within the ranks of clavian humans, or offshots as might be more appropriate, are a group known as the Aruna. Though little physical evidence exists of the Aruna many stories abound, and reliable sightings have been noted. The Aruna are a race of humans who retreated to the southern continent of clave during the Godwars. Said to have been pursued by Wolfblooded, they group stumbled across technology of the Nehpillim and were able to escape their pursuers. The humans used their knowledge of ceramic working, and the alien technologies they now had in their possession, to survive and prosper. Some rumors say that the Aruna have undertaken a mission to become the perfect race, trying to mix their bloodlines with those of Elves, Dragons, Dwarves, and other races to get the best genetic mix. The sighting of arua say they stand taller than men, have slightly pointed ears and are always beautiful and strong. The Aruna are said to see all other races as inferior, save the elves. The Aruna live somewhere within, or above the mountain ranges of the area known as ecclesium.
