Human

While no census of the entirety of Cisum has ever been made, humans are widely considered and accepted to be the most common and prolific of the races. Humans are almost equaly diverse and adaptable. They can excel or fail in any aspect of society. They can be as evil as they can be good. The human drive for immortality often drives them to achieve great things or leave their mark on a particular organization or community. It's humans who drive most of the world forward, ever striving for that which will make them notable.

If playing with achievements and milestones, choosing this race at character creation grants the player the achievement "Only Human."
