{{Peoples
 * synopsis = Humans are a common short-lived people that are found throughout Templehelm and the Outlands.


 * characteristics = Fully developed humans range in height from under 4' to over 7' at the extremes. Most humans are between 5' and 6' tall. Their skin tones range from a pale off-white to near-black, usually with red, orange, or yellow tones mixed in. There is little connection between a human's appearance and their place of origin, as populations have mixed and migrated for so long that most varieties of appearance are present in most human populations. Human hair can be blonde, brown, black, red, white, gray, or even other colors by way of magical or chemical dyeing processes.


 * society = Humans are common within Templehelm, the other islands of the Setlian Sea, the Cold North, the Great East, and the Free Land. There are indications that significant human populations also exist in settlements throughout the far-flung islands and continents of the Jurrian Ocean. Humans are notorious empire-builders. The vast majority of major political powers that have existed in the realm of Ateon have been led by humans. There are many claims as to why this is, but more than likely it's simply because there are so many them.

Helmians
The Helmians were a collection of human ethnic groups native to Templehelm prior to the arrival of the Emeraldites.


 * history = Human history is vast and storied, different for every branch of humanity across Ateon.

Templehelm
The history of Templehelm is human history, as most significant actors have been humans. Broadly speaking, the continent was once dominated by several groups of humans as well as other peoples who were colonized and homogenized into one population by the Emeraldites.


 * populations =

Templehelm
Other than the Emeraldites who once conquered Templehelm and subsequently homogenized the local human population under their rule, the archipelago was once home to Aurites, Ancient Zeolites, and Ancient Mycelyites.

Setlian Sea
The sea surrounding Templehelm is home to a number of different human peoples such as the Amorians, the humans of the Crosslands, and others.

Cold North
Humans in the Cold North- excepting those who live in settlements along the coast- live together in tribes that are viewed as barbarian by their neighbors in the Orci Desert and Far East. The Emeraldites are originally from Kilvaro on the coast of the Cold North. There is a rumored empire deep in the north called Telaar that is majority-human.

Shoth
Shoth is a major human sub-region that is nestled along the Setlian Coast, between the Cold North and the Far East. It is a poor region with many struggles.

Great East
The Great East is a region of countless kingdoms, fiefs, and duchies. Many human rulers exert their power here and numerous cultures exist side by side. The humans of the Iron Empire live in the very south of this region, bordering the Free Land.

Free Land
The Free Land is the home of the god Claude and his own loyal human followers (as well as Orks and Elves).

Jurrian Ocean
Humans can be found as far afield across the Jurrian Ocean as Tenerra and the Runelands.
