Physical Description

Humans are physically on the larger end of humanoids in Cimmeria, but with far more variance in their cosmetic features. Humans stand five to six and a half feet tall and weigh 100 to 300 pounds. Their hair color varies from blonde, red, brown, or black, but with black being the most common. Skin color can be beige, pink, ivory, olive, brown, or ebony. Olive is the most common color in Cimmeria. Eye color can be grey, blue, green, hazel, or brown. Human males have beards, but variations in style and genetics dictate their presentation.

Humans are the most populous race in Cimmeria. They have a higher fecundity rate than most, but their true strength comes from cooperation. When threatened, humans always stick together for the good of the community. Through this, they’ve managed to weather the many storms and tragedies that devastated other races of Cimmeria.

Culture

While humans work together in times of adversity, their natural state is more of greed and selfishness. A group of humans is kind and protective. A solitary human is dishonest and conniving. Humans are intelligent and have a community focused culture, but they lack the lifespan of the longer lived races. Humans act with no thought to long-term consequences, often with disastrous results.

From a broader view, humans have many different cultures. Their dissemination across Cimmeria allowed humans to develop into a variety of different cultures that are quite distinct from each other. Customs in Aractrash are different than those in Xoria, Gazeara, Dalleer, and so on. The unifying factors, as stated, are individual greed and communal guardianship.
