Humans

Many humans from many worlds have come to Felarya over the years, often attracted by its treasures, wealth, and fabulous legends. Some humans come with technology, some with powerful magic, others just come with determination. What they all share however is ingenuity and the ability to form large effective groups.

Social creatures, humans often create cities and societies around them. Many of the ruins scattered across Felarya were once human settlements. They excellent at dealing with adversity; sometimes the more inventive or courageous types can surmount incredible odds to achieve their goals. But they can also be individually, and sometimes collectively, arrogant and short sighted. Humans tend to consider themselves superior to other creatures.

Moreover, many humans come from worlds where they are the dominant race, or at least one of the dominant races, thus it's often a great shock for them when they discover the nature of Felarya, and the fact they are but a piece of food in the eyes of big predators and not "god's creature" any more. Most manage to function normally in spite of this, but some may react violently or even become permanently crazy.

It's worth noticing that the human natives of Felarya are generally stronger and slightly taller than non-native humans.

Delurans

Delurans are not very numerous in Felarya and are mostly concentrated in their underground base, west of the giant tree.

They are a moderately advanced and industrious people, and have come to Felarya mostly to scout, in order to determine if Felarya is worth the effort of an invasion and extensive colonization by Delurah, their homeworld. So far the answer is clearly "no". Deluran scouts have suffered many casualties and many of them have ended in the bellies of nearby nagas, especialy the dreaded Crisis. They chose a really bad spot to settle, stuck as they are between nagas and fairies.

Besides predators, one of the Delurans's biggest problems is that, for some reason, the steel that their weapons are made out of rusts very quickly on Felarya's surface. This means they must rely more on their excellent detection devices than on sheer firepower, making them a cautious and stealthy people.

They have no alliances with any other humanoid race and usually ignore them completely. In general, Deluran scouts tend to think that their mission will end soon and that they will be able to leave this dangerous world. Their leaders have other plans for them though...

Anna was a Deluran before being turned into a naga.

Akaptor nomads

Akaptor nomad are the principal humans inhabitants of the Akaptor desert. They call themselves Qesjhatams : "time walkers"

The very harsh and dangerous environnment of this deadly desert turned them into a tough and sturdy people able to survive in extreme conditions, and fierce warriors as well, redoutable in their element. They possess an encyclopedic knowledge of all the dangers and fauna of the place, and even learned how to survive in the past for a short amount of time. Moreover, they are about the only people who know how to fight a time sharks with reasonnable chances of success.

What makes these nomads famous however, is their incredible mastery with stilts. According to the popular saying, their youngs are born with stilts and they learn to use them even before walking. Indeed they move so fluidly, swiftly and naturally on them, it's like second legs. Watching a Qesjhatam ritual dance performed on 40 feet long stilts is a spectacle you never forget.

Several tribes have settled and founded small and discrete cities across the desert, which represent an invaluable help for travellers.

Miratans

Miratans are a military society who travel to other worlds through a dimensional tunnel network. They use tanks and mecha along with a large standing army. They have no space ships yet but are working on several prototypes. They firmly believe in their superiority over other races and have no problems wiping out entire colonies in pursuit of resources and technology. Their total armed forces number in the hundreds of millions. However, they are currently suffering from a terrible famine and catastrophe on their homeworld and are raiding many worlds for food. Their plans on Felarya remain unknown for the moment but they don't seem too bellicose and keep a solid but discrete presence in their base at Frost peak. Their contacts with other humans communities of Felarya are minimal.

People of the Bowl

A peaceful and long lived people, inhabitant of the Jungle Bowl. The original humans of this land were whisked to Felarya when their rolling farmlands were 'switched' with that of a large granite mountain in the Frostpeaks at the edge of the Great marshes.

They built a prosperous and sereine community there, under the protection of Cypress, a dryad who has been raised by them centuries ago. The people of the bowl make great use of the dryad's link and are all connected throught it. This makes them a very tight community. Often all the people will feel the same general background emotion; depending on how strong a link they maintain. Allowing the people of the Bowl to have shared highs and lows of emotion.

It also makes them very coordinated; an attack on one is an attack on all, which will be dealt with great determination... and good firepower as well. Indeed, despite their agrarian and naturalistic appearances (many live in the trees) the people of the Bowl are quite technologically advanced. This is in part because the world they came from was well developed already, but mostly because Jhon Gallanfreed imparted the knowledge of his own people to them when he came and chose to live in the bowl some 500 years ago. however they keep most of this technology hidden and use it rarely.
