Versitility

Long ago, mortal men and women created Rhy'din. Rhy'din was a lush, pristine landscape, opening her heart to any willing to embrace it. Her laws were firm and just, instilling morality in a world almost perfect. In time, darkness invaded and warred with one another and mortals clung to their last bastions of hope. - the tall castles of their rulers. All but a few remain today. Mortals' past is written in blood and loss. Yet when faced with the inevitable, they rather pass on their secrets. For you see, immortality has a flaw - when you do not fear death, you fear losing power. While immortal elders cling to their secrets in fear of teaching their pupils too much, mortals embrace the though, and thus their craft is perfected over centuries despite their limited lifespan. Mortals' pasts are forged in the crucible of loss and written in blood. Yet even in the worst of eras, mortal men and women possessed admirable traits: The unmatched will for survival and the desire when against all odds, to bang together against a common foe.

This realm once belonged to Mortals. Now more than ever, they push back.

A pristine land lush with vegetation and vibrant landscape. The Age of Man was Rhydin's greatest era of peace and prosperity. No one knows exactly when darkness began to sow its seeds. Yet as easily as man and women can band together and unite for good, power corrupts and none know this more than the nefarious immortal darkness. Soon nations were set against nations, and armies and their wars wrecked the lands turning them into barren wastelands. Even now, to this day, when one walks the roads, they can catch an occasional glimpse of ruins of once great and powerful nations. Stone foundations are all that remain of Mortal legacies. Or is it? Rhy'din herself has endured. Now the central city of the realm, her stone walls still stand tall, regardless of what they contain.

To sum the Mortal race in a few words is a ceaseless endeavor, they are a diverse lot. Some choose to stick with their professions, others seek a higher, spiritual purpose, some are bent by the atrocities they have faced at the hands of darkness and joined Enclaves of hunters; there is truly no average. Yet despite this diverseness, they are bound by blood and mortality, and they refuse to erode into extinction quietly.

Gone may be the Age of Man, but their spirit is very much intact.

Mortals

Mortals have stood the test of time. They have endured every imaginable calamity the forces of darkness could imagine. Despite the droves killed, Mortals have banded together and stood defiant in the eyes of death. Shackle their flesh, but their spirit shall remain free.

For centuries, Mortal men and women have been born to a life of constant danger.

They are forged within the fire of strife, and as such, as humanity always does, it adapts to survive. The majority of Mortals do not stray far from the confines of tall walls and others lest they are hunted down. Yet these constant need to be vigilant has forged the race to embrace the secrets of the past. Where other immortal races cling to their powers, humanity openly shares it in hopes the masses will be able to drive out the darkness which torments their lives. Some find hope within their faith, and even further, within the religious organizations built to eradicate the darkness. Others find that the Immortals are not the only ones capable of wielding darkness and surrender themselves to it willingly. Yet some find simple pleasures in life still. Where centuries of alchemical know-how are applied in classrooms for all to witness, study, replicate, and take advantage of. Humanity, despite its quirks, has an indistinguishable spirit.
