Human
Humans are by far the largest population in the Kingdom and, for that matter, in the rest of Occasia and the Orb. Along with their more common variants, such as sylvans, gifted, and morgants, humans are also supposedly the only self-aware species in the known world, while the others all have magical and supernatural (or subnatural, unnatural, preternatural, or paranatural) origins. Or so they think, but beings such as pantegans, mandrakes, and wolf-cats totally disagree.

One way or another, humans represent nine out of ten people you are likely to meet in the Kingdom. They’re the salt of the earth and the cannon fodder of all wars, the village people and mercenaries, those “who harvest cotton, rice, and wheat, and plant spelt all over the plateau”, as a famous Zigane song goes.

How Other Races See Them
Being the most common race in the Kingdom, humans are seen as touchstones for all other races. Some marionettes and nonexistents go to great lengths to get the turquoises (aka blue fairies) to make them human, just as sylvans, malebranche, and gifted often go out of their way to mix with mankind. On the other hand, many identify humans as “common people” for this very reason: compared to the more whimsical species and natures, they are seen as banal and uninteresting individuals.

Here, too, the truth lies in the middle: like all other races, humans are as dull or as brilliant as they choose to be.
