Variety in All Things

Ethereal humans, like normal humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different regions where they have settled and conquered. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for the ages, and great kingdoms that can persist for long centuries. An individual Ethereal human might have a long life span, but an Ethereal humans nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single human’s memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, Ethereal humans like normal Humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics.

Lasting Institutions

Where a single elf or dwarf might take on the responsibility of guarding a special location or a powerful secret, Ethereal humans found sacred orders and institutions for such purposes. While dwarf clans and halfling elders pass on the ancient traditions to each new generation, Ethereal human temples, governments, libraries, and codes of law fix their traditions in the bedrock of history. Ethereal Humans dream of being a lasting influence to their lord or subjects, being a guiding light to those that need it and sacrificing all that they have for their causes, they're incredibly difficult to fight and persist till the end.
