Humankind
has not the industriousness of dwarves, the savagery of orcs
nor the arcane knowledge and eternity of the elvenkind. Men
have no one thing that makes them shine above the other demihuman
races, they are not beautiful, they are not giants, their senses
are dulled compared to their companion humanoids, their minds
weaker, they lifespan fleeting.
But what humans do
have are towns, villages, cities, kingdoms and empires. Man
builds communities; he transmits knowledge from one generation
to the next. He creates gods, he creates traditions, he creates
history and, so short lived, he strives to leave his mark upon
the world before he passes beyond it through deeds and accomplishments. |
