CHARACTERS AND WORLDS

THE FOUR RACES OF GURHAL

The Gurhal System is home to four races.

Each race was originally born of humans.

The Gurhal System's long history is filled with bitter struggles between the races.

To end the 500-year war, although humans are the most prominent race, they consented to being placed in the lowest social position. One hundred years have passed since the Tripartite Treaty was signed. At a glance, the Gurhal System appears to be at peace, but throughout the system there is racial prejudice and flames of war still smolder.

Humans

The most populous race: Humans

The most populous race in the Gurhal System, and the original race from which the others were derived. Humans tend to be all-purpose, with a good balance in abilities. They are not especially poor at anything, and can manage any kind of occupation. On the other hand, they don't excel in any one area. They primarily live on Parum.


Historical background

Humans are the most populous race in the Gurhal System, but their position in society is not necessarily very high.

This can be seen in the distribution of power determined at the end of the 500-year war. The three planets are ruled by CASTs, newmans and beasts, and humans do not have a planet of their own.

The other races, while not as balanced as humans, are superior in specific areas. Rather than being considered the original race, humans are considered a sub par race with limited abilities.
