Humans

Most humans are the ancestors of pioneers, conquerors, traders, travelers, refugees, and other people on the move.  As a result human lands are a mix of people- physically, culturally, religiously, and politically.  Hardy or fine, light-skinned or dark, showy or austere, primitive or civilized, devout or impious, humans run the gamut.

Humans are the most adaptable, flexible, and ambitious people among the common races.  They are diverse in their traits, morals, customs, and habits.  Others accuse them of having little respect for history, but it's only natural that humans with their relatively short life spans and constantly changing cultures, would have a short collective memory than dwarves, elves, gnomes, and halflings.
