Humans belong to one of the most numerous of races. They live all over the world Isalris, from the oceans' beaches to the frozen mountains. They don't turn away from hard work to live and are one of the most stubborn of races. Humans don't have any superior physical traits, however, they have iron will and power to back up their will to live. Humans often fight among each other for silly reasons but if an enemy would try to use the situation and take part in the disput then they'd easily find out that humans don't like to be threathen.

Human's superiority shows by will power and possibility of living everywhere they can if they can get used to it.

Humans' Factions - Two factions are those that have the biggest part in the human politics and take world-shaping decisions.

The Divine Empire

The strongest good humans who live in the middle of Castial continent. Their empire is located on planes with vast forests and small mountains. They live in large cities behind high walls and their cities are also often filled with races other than themselves, be it merchants or citizens. They have many trading agreements and focus on gathering power to push their Empire further. While they're not agressive towards other kingdoms around them they are rather suspicious of every group of soldiers they see.

The Empire's is protected by The Legion. A massive army with advanced strategies and highly experienced commanders. Soldiers of Legion excel are using heavy armor to protect themselves from enemy attacks and use it well to turn it into impenetrable defensive or crushing offensive. They are disciplined. Each and every soldier is being constantly warned that if they'll break the line his comrades will die, then they will and then their family. It may seem harsh but it's not just warnings but a cost of their failure.

The Empire is very religious. They belive in their 'Divine', an Archangel of Hope who brought humans and angels together and saved humans from enslavement. The Divine is simply called 'Hope' as she is the first Archangel. Many of Empire's enemies refer to this as 'Hope is the mother of stupid' to which Empire's people simply respond 'But every mother loves her children'. The Church of Divine is responsible for healers and the Inquisition helps armies fight off undead and demons.

The Empire is led by two people. The Goddess, Hope, and The Emperor. Emperor is a mortal man who is chosen from between the bravest of people by Hope herself after previous dies. People of Empire belive that one day a mortal man will rise to the rank of Emperor and stay there for eternity to lead them throught darkness along with Hope.

The Empire is split into smaller kingdoms, each kingdom is led by a Prince. Kingdoms and Prince families are named after special 'units' they possess. Such as Kingdom of Griffin, having superior Gryphon Knights while the Kingdom of Deer, have knights riding on armored stags. There are 6 kingdoms :

- Kingdom of Deer - They are led by Prince Arcturus the Horned, an honorable knight who rides into battle on his battle stag, The King.

- Kingdom of Griffin - They are led by Prince Issios Windheart, a great but prideful knight who flies into battle on top of his Royal Gryphon, The Brave.

- Kingdom of Bear - They are led by Prince Artem the Wanderer, a young but disciplined knight who leads his soldiers from atop his Black Bear, The Scar-Claw.

- Kingdom of Wolf - They are led by Princess Xerina Silverglow, a young and ambitious angel who trained even the most ferocious of wolves into her loyal companions.

- Kingdom of Light - They are led by Princess Aeris Brighteye, older priestess who takes care of every Light Entetity that enters our world. Her personal Light Entity bodyguard is named Lightheart.

- Kingdom of Horse - They are led by Argon the Swift, an older cuirassier who rides into the battle on his Light war horse, The Sunbringer.

The Realm of Sands

The strongest faction of the evil humans are nomads living in the desert called the Sea of Sands. They were once an empire that had a vast number of slaves and ruled with an iron fist over smaller nations, taking slaves, burning houses and slaughtering villages. They bit too much when they attacked a temple belonging to the Cult of Divine and on their way grabbed a few defenceless belivers. Those few people spread their faith among slaves and all prayed to Hope, who brought an army of Angels and helped the slaves.

Sudden attack from within their realm was too quick to react to as an entire heavily armored armiwa appeared in every major slave center and killed the tyrants. They had to run away and ended up running to deserts where they started a nomadic lifestyle, cursing in hatred Angels and their ingeretion in their realm. The had to change tactics for the desert climate. They exchange most heavy units to light ones and created new tactics.

They have one of the best human archers and light cavalry. To top off their amazing performence they decided to ruthlessly train and tame beasts that they once feared. They tamed two : a basilisk and a mumakil. Basilisk being a lizard big enough for a mount that's extremely poisonous and fast, while mumakil is a large elephant with huge task and incredible agressiveness on which can be put an archer point with up to even fifteen archers.

They serve a Sand Dragon, Yoglatos. Their cult became well spread among first years of their nomadic lives and later accepted as their official religion. Yoglatos is a cruel dragon but they don't cate, going as far as sacreficing all of those who were unfortunate enough to get caught. Their deity is seen as a large four-legged dragon with huge horns and large wings, able to bury himself deep beneath the sands.

The Realm of Sands is spread across all over the desert into smaller camps but they don't set each other apart. They all serve Yoglatos and don't care about destinguishing each of their soldiers. They all are armed and armored the same. The only thing that changes are color to know to which camp send dead warriors.
