Humanity

Humans are the most numerous humanoid species in Legacy, possibly one of the most advanced. They hail from many regions of Numis, but were originally created by The Ancient One as his opus magnum. Many gods, including Baal, the god of Chaos, despise humanity, but some humans serve the more "evil" gods.

Creation
The Ancient One was always disappointed by his other creations, as beautiful as they were. He decided to develop both Numis, the world, and humanity. Creating thousands of Humans over many years, each with different skin color, facial features, unique markings, hair and eye color, and many more little characteristics. The Ancient One, finished with his work, breathed his life essence into the batch, awakening them. His last act was to spread humanity all over the world.

The humans all adapted to their surroundings, specifically in the mountains, the desert, the ice fields, and the grassy plains. Over time, they developed new tech and settlements, eventually dotting all of Numis, some being turned into other beings, which led to the First Dark War.

The First Dark War
Orcs are almost all warlike and territorial, creations of Baal, and the descendants of humans. When a small scouting party was led into a forest occupied by Belial Gro-Kasmul, champion of Baal, recently returned from the Battle of Forge Hills, the party quickly retreated, with an extremely large force of orcs following behind. The city of Glimmer Shore, where they were led to, was promptly razed and every man, woman, and child was either enslaved or slaughtered slowly and brutally, feeding the war machine of Baal and the Orcs.
