Editing Fantasy City Project: Racial Make up and relations (section)

== Humans ==
The three main ethnic groupings of humans are [[Magii-gak]], [[Vanir]] and [[Sophantii]].  There is little intra-species ethnic discrimination other than a slight reluctance of non-Magii-gak to marry or have children with [[Magii-gak]].

Humans are the second shortest lived and second fastest breeding race in the city after [[Orcs]].  Longer-lived races form decades- or centuries long business, social and political links.  As a substitute humans have a system of family honour designed to preserve reputation and connection through generations.  Sons and daughters, especially the eldest surviving ones are expected to be follow in their father's and mother's footsteps (respectively) and act "pass on the honour to the next generation".  Younger siblings are also expected to behave well but are given more latitude to take other paths.  

Human society in the city is very socially conservative.  Humans who leave the city and become successful are not generally censured for their unconventional behavior elsewhere, as long as it stops when they return.


Humans are generally neither discriminated against nor favored.  Their social status and average wealth is about the median for the city, with [[Dwarfs]], [[Pixies]] and particularly [[Elves]] being richer and more connected.  This is the result of many human families joining with the [[Dwarfs]] against Elvish domination of the [[council]] resulting in much human advancement and enrichment though not as much as originally hoped.  On the other hand Elvish retribution for joining against them is (so far) much more muted than had been expected.
