Humans
Humans are the dominant race on the Continent. They live almost everywhere, from the Northern Kingdoms to the Nilfgaardian Empire. In combat, every human foe calls for the steel sword. Hanged Man's Venom is the oil made for them.
Combat
Steel swords are the weapon for humans, nonhumans and ordinary beasts such as bears. Hanged Man's Venom adds +10% attack power against humans and nonhumans for 20 charges. Since the oil covers nonhumans too, it works on elves and dwarves as well. It is brewed from Dog Tallow and Arenaria. It also comes in Enhanced and Superior variants.
History
The Elder Races lived on the Continent long before humans came. Elven legend says humans first appeared after the Conjunction of the Spheres. Human settlers then conquered the land and pushed the elves back. Elves call humans Dh'oine in the Elder Speech. Humans and elves can have children together, and half-elves and quarter-elves are often scorned.
