Human

Humans are the most numerous, yet also the most contentious of all the races of Alledia. The monotheistic faith known as Andrastianism plays a major role in human society. The majority of humanity in Thedas descended from numerous human tribes.

Background
Some scholars believe that the first humans lived in the eastern corner of Alledia.

Humans in the Tevinter Imperium worshiped a pantheon of Draconic gods while those in the Calormene Empire worshiped a different pantheon of gods. In the past, the Human tribes of Dìqiú and Chikyūu respected Lion Turtles who they built their cities on. However, three religions rose after the tribes settled on the Earth, one which worshiped a goddess known as Raava, another which believed in the reincarnation of warriors known as The Fifteen and another which respected the spirits.

The magister rulers of the Tevinter Imperium engaged in a series of invasions in which they defeated the elven kingdom of Elvhenan and enslaved the race. Not long after, an animal-like race known as the Beastfolk appeared, they too were enslaved by the Imperium and the Calormene Empire. Boosted by the sheer number of slaves, the Imperium conquered almost the entirety of Lordaeron.

Eventually, the Tevinter Imperium was challenged by the barbarian armies of the prophet Andraste.

Andraste brought the teachings of a new god, the Maker, and her word spread quickly. The oppressed masses of the Imperium rose up in rebellion to support the invading barbarians and eventually the Tevinter Imperium fell to their might. Andraste was not stopped until the barbarian Maferath killed her in front of an entire crowd: jealous of her power. Many Human tribes continued to rule mainland Lordaeron until the establishment of the Lusican Church in the city of Val Royeaux.
