Lifespans
Humans reach maturity during their mid-teens.Humans can live up to 100 years old although this is very uncommon.

The Dwarves claim that Humans appeared out of a volcano, armed with weapons of steel, whilst the Elves claim that Humans descended from the sky, bring with them strange magic. Neither of these tales seems particularly likely but seems to fit into the idea that he emergence and success of Humans on the world was a rapid event that took the longer-lived races by surprise.
Culture
Unlike other humanoid races races on Oberon there are no 'sub-types' of human. Additionally, the lack of ‘half-breeds’, so prevalent on most D&D worlds, ensures that humankind, as a race, has never been “diluted” by other races.
Despite this there is significant cultural diversity amongst humans. The human civilisation of Erganth is very different to that of Alea’Zhim and players of human characters are encouraged to choose a nation of origin when fleshing out their background.
The countries where humans are the dominant humanoid race are listed below:
| Imperial Countries | |
|---|---|
| Academia | Chundria |
| Dominus | Erganth |
| Thorast | |
| Non-Imperial Countries | |
| Alea’Zhim | Gryphos |
| Kalevala | Yuritan |
