Humans
Also known as Manfolk, and largely make up the Merinth Empire: Humans are by far the most common race as

per usual, spread far and wide throughout all the pre-noted races. Though they originate, and most reside within the Merinth Empire. Spread almost as far as their people, their empire stretches over desserts, mountains, plains, hills, Forrest, the whole world practically.

Ancient rulers conquered much of the known world, and for thousands of years they sat in a peaceful stretch of rulership. Now, Elven clans burn their villages, rival lords have claimed kingship, villages rebel, and the entire empire is at the point of collapse. Emperor Celldrae seeks to reunite his people, but is fraught with conflict on all sides.

The Wald, a people long under their control has seized power in the North and has led an invasion into their lands. Recent attempts at rebellion have sparked at the port city of Edge, though all have been quickly dealt with as losing the port trade route would cripple their economy.

Note: Imagine the roman empire shortly before its collapse.
