They include:AzalaThe humans that originated in the southeastern portion of Nigal are known as Azala, named after their first ruler dating back to pre-history. These slightly shorter yet slightly stockier humans have varying degrees of tan to dark skin, with brown and black hair and brown and sometimes green eyes. They would be comparable to the natives of the South American nations of the real world, specifically Brazil and Peru. Their language is known as Zalato, a combination of letters and pictograms with strange combinations of sounds and double vowels.Chak’tiThe humans originating near the largest freshwater lake in the central portion of Nigal, the Lake of Tears, are known as the Chak’ti, the name of their people meaning “horse” in their language. They are taller and stockier than other humans, and have tan to yellow skin colors and dark hair and brown eyes. They could be compared physically to the Asiatic races of the real world, specifically those from Russia, China, and the surrounding areas. Their dialect is known as Chak’atan, a rough and guttural language with harsh consonants and sound effects.EjiinThe humans originating from a large string of islands known as the Yashaki, or the “Warlord’s Pearls”, southeast of the main continent of Nigal, are known as the Ejiin, which in their dialect simply means “person”. These slightly shorter and average build humans have lightly tan to yellowish skin and black hair and brown eyes, and would be physically comparable to the Asian races of our real world, specifically Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Their language, known as Ejao, is a flowing language with a wide variety of sounds that emphasize different parts of the same words for different meanings. The written form consists of thousands of pictograms that can be written in an artistic form, an Ejiin art form said to take decades to truly master.MadroniansThe humans originating in the area known as the Inner Kingdoms are known as Madronians, with the name of their peoples originating from the name of one of their ancient rulers from pre-history, Madron. Madronians are of average height and build and lighter complexioned skin, with a wide variety of hair and eye colors, with red and blonde hair not uncommon and blue and green eyes intermingled with more abundant brown eyes. Madronians could be compared physically with the Caucasian races of the real world, specifically those from France, England, and Germany. The regional dialect of the Madronians is known as Madra, a flowing language with over fifteen vowels and many silent letters.LaveriThe humans that originated from southwestern part Nigal, on the Lavantine Peninsula, are known as the Laveri, a name of unknown historical origin. Laveri are of average height and slightly stocky build and skin ranging from olive-toned to darken colors, with mostly browns and blacks for hair color and brown eyes. They could be compared physically to the Mediterranean races of the real world, specifically those from Greece and Northern Africa. They speak Laveran, a language that contains only oral vowels and very contrasting consonant combinations.NondsHumans originating from the Frozen Isles, a set of islands on the northern coast of Nigal are called Nonds, a word that means “honor” in their regional dialect. These slightly taller and stockier humans have brown and red and blonde hair and blue and green eyes as well as brown. They would be comparable to the Caucasian races found in the real-world, specifically those from Norway and Sweden. The Nond speak a language known as Nondalhiem which contains many vowels with varied accents as well as interesting and sometimes harsh double consonant sounds.SabonaarThe humans originating from the lands known as the Merchant Nations are known as Sabonaar, named after an ancient empire from pre-history. Sabonaar are of slightly taller than average height, and have a slightly darker complexion than their northern neighbors. They have almost exclusively dark hair and eye colors andcould be compared physically with the southern European peoples of the real world, specifically those from Spain, Portugal, and Italy. The Sabonaar predominately speak a regional dialect called Sabo, a practical language that is spelled phonetically and that the old Trade language and now Common draw from greatly.VarkonanThe humans originating from the remote southern coastal lands south of the Lake of Tears are known as the Varkonan, the term for “god-king” in their ancient language. One of the earliest races, they have black hair and dark tan skin, and would be physically comparable to the Egyptians of our real-world. Originally made of pictograms, the language of Varkonae eventually transitioned into its own alphabet which greatly expanded accessibility of the written form of Varkonae to its people.</blockquote>
