Humans

Humans are one of the major sentient species in the known world, and make up a significant portion of the tribal regions of the Empire.

Humans are a common sight in the empire, both as freepeoples and slaves, but also exist in large groups as nomadic tribes. When the Empire first encountered the humans, the majority existed as hunter-gatherers, operating in nomadic tribes or forest gatherers. Particularly in the western steppes, nomadic life was intrinsically linked to their livestock and mounts (most commonly horses)

Although settled tribes were rare, there are a few instances of human tribes developing basic agriculture and gathering around permanent settlements.

Tribal Humans
Tribes of humans can still be found scattered throughout the Empire, in anywhere from the open steppes to the rock mountains.
