## Humans of Crescendo

Humans in Crescendo are almost always in search of adventure and discover new things. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. In a small world such as theirs, those who venture into the unknown become the greatest among them.

#### Humans from Athilis
Humans from this region are the most prominent in the known world. Their ancestors were first recorded as settlers who came to what is today the kingdom of Athilis, and their influence has extended all over other kingdoms. Atem, the national language of Athilis, is very widespread and used as a common language for trading between nations. Most Athilians are tall and have green or brown eyes, but these traits are hardly universal.

#### Humans from Otama
Dominant in the South shores of the "Brazo Largo" sea, humans from Otama are generally tall, slim, and amber-skinned, with eyes hazel or brown. Their hair ranges from black to dark brown, but some nobles or monks shave off all their hair. Most men and woman know how to handle weapons, and all inhabitants have deep connections with nature and spirits.

The Urdanitas who founded it were apparently guided there by the previous inhabitants of Gobb, whose identity is a mistery.
