Humans are the standard by which all other races must be measured. They form such a vast majority of Ravenloft's population that many humans know of the nonhuman races only through rumor or legend. Humans fill every niche in society and represent a wide spectrum of cultures and ethnic groups.

Some sages have pondered why humans are so prevalent in the Land of Mists. Are the Dark Powers drawn to some inherent spark in the human spirit that other races lack? If so, it may be this; every human holds the potential to perform great good or to commit great evil and can choose which path to follow. Humans are the master of their own nature; it is both their greatest strength and their most fatal flaw.

Homelands

Human communities can be found in every settled domain. That is, as far as settled domains go - even Sithicus has tiny human communities. Some domains have no "civilized" human settlements, though human encampments or nomadic elements may exist.
