《Twilight over Arcania》Lore: Race: The Humans

Humans
Humans are not a species native to Arcania. A fact not known by it's inhabitants. It's unknown when humans appeared first on the planet, but it was only in recent times, geologically speaking. How humans got to Arcania is a mystery as well.
There exists three species of humans. Fair Skins, Dark Skins and Elves. The differences between them are more pronounced then the differences between Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthal.
There are about fifty million humans on Arcania in total. No human civilization has yet achieved the industrial age.
Dark Skins
Dark Skin humans, like the name suggests, have a dark skin tone. They are the most physically capable species of human, boasting great strength, speed and reflexes. This comes at a cost. A Dark Skin's strength wears on their body, shortening their lifespan. Dark Skin are the shortest lived species of human. Life expectancy is about forty years.
While Dark Skin humans instinctively use Basal magic to strengthen their bodies, their aptitude for magic is the lowest amongst all human species.
Dark Skin Humans tends to form small insular communities if left on their own.
Fair Skins
Fair Skin humans can be considered the jack of all trades amongst human species.
Some individuals can achieve significant fighting prowess, while others can boast great aptitude for magic. Users of Elemental and Advanced magic are fairly common.
Fair Skin are shorter and physically weaker than Dark Skin Humans and their skin tone, as the name suggest, is lighter.
Fair Skin will form large sprawling civilizations if left unchecked, and will wage wars to expand their territories, even against their own.
Elves
Elves boast the greatest magical aptitude amongst all human species. The best weavers amongst them can achieve Space Magic.
Elves are tall, but thin, they have long pointy ears and have the lowest base strength amongst all human species. Elves stop ageing after hitting maturity, meaning they will live until something kills them, but their fertility rate is the lowest, severely limiting their numbers.

Being ageless, time has little meaning to an Elf. Elves abhor change and like to live their lives in peace. They spend their days in homes made from living trees that are as long lived as they are, practising their craft of choice as a form of art, striving for perfection.
Hybridization
While possible for humans to breed with humans of a different species, it's rare for a relationship to result in childbirth. The offspring will always be of one of the parent's species, half Fair Skin half Dark Skin are impossible. Often the child will be infertile.
It's possible, albeit incredibly rare, for a human of one species to be born from two parents of a different species if they both had an ancestor of that species.
Civilizations
On Arcania, Humans rule over the island continent of Cullania and over the continent of Terrania. There is a significant human presence in the largest continent as well, Calvaria, but many other races live there, so the humans are not dominant in that continent.
Religion
Gloria is by far the most popular goddess, but Humans worships many deities.

Fall of a Civilization - Modern Apocalypse
Today was an ordinary day. The same day as every day. The start of a monotonous day for some while being an exciting one for others. Today was supposed to be the latter for me. My first day in an abroad country, coming here for my studies. But everything changed when the world started spewing monstrosities, abhorrent creatures, and powers. This is the story following Rudy, who gets trapped in a foreign country when the world decided to metaphorically flip its table. If the [horror] tag didn't already tell you, this story tries to give more focus to the monsters than other Litrpg's and also intends to have a much more serious tone. My writing may be sub-par as I am a starting writer, but I promise to strive and improve as I keep writing along with your feedback and response. Updates will be at every 3 days.
