Humans

Humans are Mystara's most versatile pioneers. They are also the most diverse people in the world, displaying the most divergence from one individual to the next of all the races.. They have relatively short lifespan, rarely reaching the century mark, compared to the native races of Mystara and are far more varied within their race than the rest ranging in hight alone from the midgets to the giants and with skin tones covering the spectrum between the fairest porcelain to the darkest chocolate. Their eyes come in shades of blue, green, or brown and their hair can be a color anywhere on the spectrum of blondes to browns, reds, and blacks - and even then some use various dyes and treatments to alter it.

Their skills tend to lack the specialty of the native races but cover a vast range, and still excel at many things. Humans pride themselves for individuality and their steadfast idealism. They’ll sometimes defend causes just to be different, and they aren’t afraid to fail in their endeavors. The shortest-lived race, humans eschew the patience of elves and dwarves in favor of creating immediate change in the world—good or bad. Human nature necessitates exploration. Humans see mountains as obstacles to climb, rivers as boundaries to traverse, and death for a good cause as the noblest expression of their being. When human expansion encroaches on dwarven lands or damages elven woodlands, conflict arises. And humans habitually exhibit stubbornness in the face of conflict.

Humans have the ability to mate with some other humanoid races of Mystara and produce crossbred offspring. For example, some have come to create half breeds with the elves, though these half breeds tend to be outcasts from both their humans and their Mystarian societies.

Only a small number of humans have arrived in Mystara through unusual circumstances, and many do not stay long. Most humans are highly susceptible to the dream-like state Mystara's inherent magical properties induce. Humans who possess superior magical abilities have little trouble spending time in the realm as they can dispel or control the wash of magical energy. Humans who manage to overcome the "Myst sickness" eventually become more tolerant to it.

Humans naturally born in Mystara, though extremely rare, tend to have a much better ability to tolerate the magic in the land.
