Human
Members of human origin are among the most numerous in Runeterra, the world's major city-states are teeming with them and often controlled by members of this species.
With a major distribution among the world, they can be found everywhere from Demacia to Noxus, Freljord, Ionia, Bilgewater or even Shurima, which has been rising from the sands.
Although they all have very similar characteristics, some minor nuances exist due to their birthplace.
Diversity
Humans are known for their diversity among their many members, with heights ranging from 1.6 m to 1.9 m, but with some individuals exceeding these averages.
Their adaptability makes them present in virtually every corner of Runeterra, having already explored almost every territory, even if much of that has been lost over time.
Their nature is not magical but, again, diversity encompasses the species as a whole and it is possible that a human being is already born with the mark of magic or even that, without this gift from birth, they can exercise it through effort and hardwork.
Social creatures, as much as some examples of this origin seek to isolate themselves or have lives completely disconnected from others, they usually organize themselves into societies that can vary from a simple romantic (or business) couples to even an empire.
Human Names and Ethnicities
Human diversity has caused many cultures to flourish, many of them connecting to the land they live in and adapting in amazing ways to it. In other cases, the vicissitudes of life and confrontations made this adaptation happen. Although if undressed and placed side by side, many humans are indistinguishable as to their origin, the colors they wear and the values they carry with them make all the difference.
