Humans (Forgotten Realms)

Humans on Toril are an ancient race in the Forgotten Realms Universe. They are widespread and could be found in most regions. In general, they are fierce and disagreeable, which could sometimes lead certain other races to view them with contempt. They are renowned for their diversity and ambition. They can live to be more then 100, although an average age in 70.

The Age of Humanity was the period which began with the decline of the elven and dwarven empires and the flourishing and expansion of the human empires around the world.

Humans play a central role in Baldur's Gate. A notable human mage was Elminster who used godly influence and magic to live for many centuries.
