Information
Humans are among the youngest races in Vigala with only about 2000 years under their belt, Some Elves can remember stories from their grandparents about a time before the Humans came. This has caused some races to look down upon Humans as inferior and 'uncultured'. Many Humans feel as though they have something to prove and many believe this is why Humans have spread their cities far and wide and procreate far more often than any others. Humans have short lives compared to the Elder races and use what time they have to conquer and create. While this can be bad, Humans are also the innovators, achievers and pioneers, their inventions have made life easier for the world around them and created healthy competition in other races.

History
Humans are an extremely adaptable and ambitious race. For this reason, it's hard to fully pin down the complete lists of Human History. Humans are known to migrate far and wide, and many of their customs and traditions change based on where they come from. However, when they choose to make a home they stay, sometimes regardless of whatever troubles might befall them there.
Since they are a rather short-lived race in comparison to many others, Humans tend to build and make things to last, to make their mark upon the world. Their cities can last ages and their kingdoms can persist for centuries. They live in the present, but also make plans for the future, always striving to leave great legacies behind.
It's believed that Humans originated from the God/dess of Life themself, and since then they have had their hands in many of the world's greatest histories. Their kindness only knows its bounds by their avarice, and for this reason many great nation have risen and fallen with the humans that lived there. While other races are content with themselves, Humans live to change the world around them to something they can call their own; perhaps a spark of the goddess that was imparted to them when she created them.
Humans were not the first race to come to Vigala. When they first arrived they were weak and frail and unsure. The Dryads were the first to show pity and they taught the humans how to forage and live among the trees, hoping they'd turn out how the elves did when they first showed them. The elves saw this and eventually came around, taking the humans under their protection to continue their lessons. A friendship formed between the two races, but it wasn't a pact that lasted very long.
In those days, humans were but one nation with a handful of villages under its belt. They were ruled by an ambitious king and though that king knew everything that the elves and dryads had done for their kind, he wanted more. He devised a plan to take out the dryads first, to go into their homes and remove the trees that were their lifelines. The dryads never suspected that those they called their allies would do such a thing, so it wasn't hard for the plan to succeed.
When the elves caught wind of it, they demanded reprimand for the atrocities but the king believed he had done nothing wrong. He lied and swindled, causing the elves to keep an uneasy alliance with the humans for years. However, he taught his plan to his son, and he taught it to his and so on until every last dryad in theirs and the elven kingdom had been lost, causing the elves power to diminish. That was when they enacted the plan to get rid of the elves, however, the elves had become distrustful of the humans and it proved no easy task.
The Human-Elven-Dryad war lasted for 200 years and it devastated the land, causing more problems for what few dryads remained in the world. The dryads finally decided it was enough and retreated, letting the humans have the land they so desired. They imparted what power they could to the elves to make sure the land still had its guardians and then left, bringing the war to a halt. To this day, it's a bitter history that the elves have never let go, not even when other human nations did their best to right the wrongs of their ancestors.
