Homebrew Human of the Mortal Realms Species Details
The Mortal Realms are vast and perilous, and among their countless wonders and terrors, humanity endures. Though shorter-lived than the Aelves, and less stubborn than the Duardin, humans thrive by virtue of adaptability and sheer willpower. They build sprawling cities in the name of Sigmar, carve lives out of savage wilderness, and even bend the knee to the Dark Gods when survival or ambition demands it.
Most humans dwell within the Cities of Sigmar, cosmopolitan bastions of civilization where Freeguild soldiers march alongside Aelven mages and Duardin engineers. Here, humanity thrives as soldiers, artisans, priests, and merchants, resilient folk standing against the endless night of Chaos, Death, and Destruction.
Yet not all humans live under Sigmar’s light. Some are born in the wastes and worship the Chaos Gods as blood-soaked marauders or sorcerous cultists. Others wander the wild edges of the realms, living in tribal bands that reject the rule of any god or king. And in the bleakest places, countless mortals fall under the dominion of Nagash, their bodies and souls pressed into eternal servitude.
No matter their origin, humans are defined not by ancient legacies but by choice. A human might be a humble farmer of Ghyran, a ruthless raider in Ghur, or a zealous witch-hunter sworn to purge Chaos from the shadows of Ulgu. Their destiny is never fixed, only shaped by the realm of their birth, the allies they find, and the battles they survive.
