Humans

Humans were a joint creation of the world from Balla and Apo'tek.Balla created them with the help of Apo'tek, and because of this they are able to see and appreciate perfection - particularly Balla and Apo'tek's understanding of it. Humans also have an affinity for Apo'tek's Prism magic.

History:
Humans were the first race created on the world, toward the end of The Age of Nature.

A small settlement of humans formed just outside of The Bread Basket, and other small communities spread out around The Mountain Well, where Balla intended to make a place for her people.

Since their birth more humans of different kinds have been brought to the world, not all of them having the prismatic eyes.

Mythology:
When the humans were first created by Balla; she planted a seed in the earth by the blood water lake, in the north of The Well, and with the help of the life water Humans grew as roots from the seed. When they had finished growing their hair stuck out of the earth, strong but tangled. Balla brushed the hair into waves of silk and lovingly plaited their hair so that each human's hair stood proud above the ground, woven into strands of golden wheat. Using the plaited hair she pulled each human from the ground.

Though Humans were fully grown there was something missing, somehow they were incomplete. Apo'tek came to Balla saying that he could help with the final step, by bringing them perfection. With the ability to perceive perfection humans could truly appreciate what they have. Balla agrees, and Apo'tek brought great gusts of wind which carried fine sands from the south to where the humans. The magical quarts sand infused into their eyes, making into gems showing all the colours of the spectrum and allowing them to see perfection

Nations:
The Tenti

Balla's humans form the nation The Tenti, who live in The Mountain Well. They are hardworking people with a culture grounded in community and a fierce arts scene.

Cities:

Primento - the first large settlement/town/city. Nestled against the blood water lake and the breadbasket, this is where The Tenti really took root.

Pantino - a collection of smaller settlements spread throughout the Bread Basket that work functionally as a city, this is the economic centre of The Well.

Infrastructure:

Woven fields - A form of crop farming. Fields can literally be woven (usually through a festival), this increases the area of farmable land and saturates the soil and crops with divine magic/essence/etc..

Culture:

The Tenti are very big on festivals, there are several annual festivals as well as various less often events.

The arts are celebrated. Poetry, dance, and tapestry weaving are particularly loved.
