The Umano are a human race located in the central parts of the world, mostly surrounding the cost (The Umano Empire). The climate there is very warm and mild, and relatively pleasant. Still, living on the coast, and a history of warfare, has made the Umano moderately well built (though nothing compared to their northern brethren of Chelovek). Hair color tends to range from blacks to brown while eye color tends to be brownish. Skin color is a light brown or olive color.
Being graced with the luck of relatively fertile land and as well as a central point of trade allowed the early Umano to spare the ability to organize larger political entities. Constant pressure from the High Elves and various other races forced the people to create an army, furthering centering power. Eventually the Umano succeeded in creating an empire, though it no longer contains the same strength and territory it once had. Still, the centuries of consolidated power and security has allowed for the development of towns and cities, making the Umano more urbanized than the Chelovek and Abatar. Roads and the military provide safe travel for the areas outside of cities, though occasional bandits and thieves still exist.
The empire is a source of pride amongst the Umano, and so they tend to be very nationalistic. They tend to look down upon other races, though giving some slack to fellow human races while giving the High Elves the worst of it. It also makes them a bit militaristic as well. Coastal living and urbanization have made them excellent traders as well, and therefore they are also good at talking their way out of situations.
