The People of Lavacia: Humans

9/10/2013

0 Comments

 
In the world of Lavacia, goblins make up more of the population than all of the
other dominant races combined.  This is due to the abundance of offspring
and their rapid growth as stated in my last blog.  Humans are the second
most populous.  They are the dominant species in every country in the land
except Sartan where they are equals with elves and dwarves.  Humans here
are no different than humans in our world except a select few are born with the
ability to channel magic.  (That is a topic for future blogs)  Their
lifespans are no longer than those on earth and they are similar in all other
ways, both good and bad.  It is no coincidence that they formed the nations
making up the map of Lavacia.  Humans are the one breed that thinks of
themselves in a national sense rather than a racial position.  For example,
elves will identify themselves as such and form bonds with other elves based on
their race.  Humans will see themselves as Sartanians, or Valians and so
forth.  They identify with their country of origin.  When humans are
not busy fighting goblins, they find it compulsory to fight one another. 
Unlike the Goblin Wars, they are not fighting for existence but rather, land and
wealth.  Nations go to war instead of races.  It is that division that
is their greatest weakness but also propels them to their greatest
accomplishments. 
With Valia and Rador on the eastern coast of the
Great Continent, they became sea explorers and found new lands to the east
across the waves.  Trade of finished goods to the native people for raw
materials (particularly gold) has been prosperous for both sides.  They,
like many of the nations have taken their focus off the looming goblin menace
and focused on profit.  Like I said, they are no different than men in our
world
