Editing HC Races (section)

=Races of Man (available as PCs)=
*'''Man'''. Humans predominate, and they come in all sorts, whether Sird, Huth, Pashin, Potaman or one of the smaller groupings. Other humans are the Lorn (giants), Hathari (witches), Pygmies and Vister. 
*'''Lorn, Sons of Lorn, Rendsons, Half-Giants, Giants'''. Although it is said that the Rend - the first true giants - still live at the Edges of the World, giants to most people are represented by the Sons of Lorn, the closest descendants of the first men. The Sons of Lorn are almost exclusively male, and are usually called “Father” or “Brother” as a sign of respect. They do not breed true but rather crop up once in a whil, especially to hathari mothers. ''Use stats for giants or humans.''
*'''Hathari, Daughters of Hatha, Brides of Sird, Witches'''. The first spirits and the first wielders of magic. Although superficially resembling normal woman, Hathari can be told apart mostly by their elegance, bearing and speech and are usually addressed as “Mother” or “Sister”. Male Hathari are unknown, while a Hathari woman's daughters will also be Hathari. ''Use stats for elves or humans''. 
*'''Pygmies, Sprites'''. Predominantly jungle-dwelling animists from the south, some have travelled into civilized lands to forge a new destiny. They are often taken for goblins by the ignorant and there is often much superstition surrounding their presence. ''Use stats for (a) pech, but this will need a little tweaking, (b) humans, or (c) humans with small size.''
*'''Vister, Westmen, Orcs, Darkmen'''. From the far west, these men are greatly feared for the history of raids launched by their tribes into more civilized lands. A few have found a role in civilized lands, usually within mercenary companies, as guards for mines and the like. In truth, much ignorance and prejudice surrounds these people; they are usually known as great brutes and are the bogeymen used to scare children, but those who have travelled west say that there is a huge variety of Visters, including some only as high as your knee and as vicious as a cornered wildcat. ''Use orc, goblin or human stats''.
