Peoples of Hearth

The peoples of Hearth are predominately Dwarven or Human, the latter of which have split or bred themselves into a great many subcultures. Humans themselves are an ancient and forgotten cross that produced the most adaptable of all peoples.

The 'Pure' races fill their own niche more completely than humanity, and better, but outside of it do nowhere near as well.

 Hiarchy of Strangeness 


 * Utlännings are strangers from one's own race but of the same nation or culture.
 * Framlings are strangers who are of one's own species but who are from another nation or culture.
 * Ramen are strangers from another species who are capable of communication and peaceful coexistence with humanity.
 * Varelse are strangers from another species who are wholly alien and not capable of communication and/or peaceful coexistence with humanity. There may or may not be violence involved. For example a wild animal would be varelse.
 * Djur are the dire beasts and slavering monsters that prey on humanity. While they may possess intelligence, a djur brings nothing but death and destruction.
