-Like the other [[races|races]], Humans originate from another [[planes|plane]] and were brought to [[ulos|Ulos]] by [[azema|Azema]], the Benevolent.  
  
-Humans aligned themselves with Nalos during the [[great_war|Great War]]. They are represented in the primary governing bodies.+Legends tell of the Kaiika once being hunted by a [[leviathan|Leviathan]].  It is said that [[shissatissk|Shissatissk]] 
 +trapped its soul in a gemstone for eternity.
  
-[[frost_giant|Frost Giants]] have been known to attack the Kaiika, demolishing their villages and taking their kin.  [[yulora|Yulora]] is one such village.+[[frost_giant|Frost Giants]] have been known to attack the Kaiika, demolishing their villages and taking their kin.

 ===== Society ===== ===== Society =====
  
-Humans tend to live above the ground in settlements close to sources of fresh water. Ever since the split between the Kingdom of Nalos and the [[dragul|Dragul]] during the [[great_war|Great War]], all known Human settlements have been concentrated in Nalos, south of the [[abandoned_lands|Abandoned Lands]].+Kaiika communities live in villages, primarily in the [[frozen_expanse|Frozen Expanse]].  Homes are made from ice blocks.  The Kaiika live in general isolation, only receiving news from the mainland from passing trader vessels, such as the [[merrin_s_hammer|Merrin's Hammer]].
  
-Almost all Humans speak [[languages|Nalos Common]]. On the other hand, even though the two languages share certain characteristics, Humans are rarely fluent in the [[languages|Dragul Common Tongue]].+The village Elder oversees all the happenings of the villagers.  Warriors and hunters are trained in the use of spears, hunting, and fighting.  Sorcerers also have lived among the Kaiika, with [[kayok_the_slipperyquick|Kayok the Slipperyquick]] being the last living example.
  
-Human communities tend to be internally diverse and multicultural. Most Humans also live in cities, towns, or villages alongside the other races of Nalos. +Kaiika primarly survive on a diet of fish.  However, they are always willing to hunt bigger game such as snow leopards or bear.  Their pelts can be used for trade.  Scouts are excellent at finding such game.
  
-Humans are culturally diverse, with some traditions varying by region.+Monks of the village will lead citizens in their worship of [[shissatissk|Shissatissk]], the goddess of fishing.  Priestesses are known to have ventured to the mainland in order to share their religious beliefs.
  
 Young Kaiika can often be found entertaining themselves with a simple game.  Six stand in a triangle formation at the end of a length of ice.  A seventh hurls themselves down the ice, hoping to knock over as many as possible.   Young Kaiika can often be found entertaining themselves with a simple game.  Six stand in a triangle formation at the end of a length of ice.  A seventh hurls themselves down the ice, hoping to knock over as many as possible.
