humans

In a world of boggarts, boggles, goblins and wugs, a human sometimes sticks out like a sore thumb. There just aren't many of them in the Mucklands. Aside from the Felmog Outriders who originally hail from the far north, most dwell in remote communities and pursue modest lives as farmers and hunters. Though many folk in Eem regard humans as unremarkable, legends tell a different story—one of golden kingdoms, gallant heroes, and a lost age of wonder and achievement. But even most humans have forgotten this ancient history.
