The Traveler's Guide to Aellorah
Humans came next on Aellorah, arriving on the unexplored continent of Myr, near Lekaris' Wellspring in the northwest. Lekaris believed that the relatively short lifespans she granted the Humans would drive them to accomplish great things much more quickly.
The Humans had the drive to pursue their goals much more quickly, but the fear of not accomplishing them in their short lives would eventually drive many to do terrible things as their passion for what they loved gave them the motivation to harm others to see their goals met.
However, many Humans use this passion and love to fuel their creative spirits, creating wondrous works of art and showing their love to those around them. The arrival of the Vesperkin in Myr in the same year eventually helped to unite the Humans. And in the wake of the terrible Grave Rot Plague which began the Age of Extinction, Humans cannot afford not to be united. The Humans and Vesperkin are often seen as a union of Lekaris and Umos' domains. However, the horrors of the plague left a mark on Humans that led many to be wary of large gatherings of other Humans. Many of their traditions and holidays see numerous small groups get together now instead of coming together as one large community, fearing that the plague may one day return to finish them off.
The Humans inherited the divine domains of Love and Zeal, and one other depending on their subrace.
