Humans

Humans were created in the First Age, by the Ancients. Humans were the second race to inhabit Gaia. Unlike the elves however, which were born to the Eastern island, Humans were born to the North Island, the coldest and harshest of the islands. When compared, humans and elves were similar in bodies, however, humans typically were shorter, and more muscular than the majority of elves.

Creation
Humans were created by the ancients in the later portion of the First Age, from the bones of Niflheim. The Humans were the first mortal race created by the ancients. It was the creation of the humans that would lead to the War of the Divines.
