Golems

Years after the forming of the city, it was flourishing to the point that even Kami took notice of it. Kami found this city interesting and was very pleased with what the 1st King had done in gathering and protecting many races together. It was this act of benevolence that made Kami decide to give the city something in order to aid its protection and growth. With this idea in mind, Kami blessed the city by using their godly powers to form four guardian golems out of the land, embedding them with a dusting of divine power.

These 50-foot-tall golems were each stationed at the north, south, east, and west gates of the city’s massive 10,000-foot-tall walls, which protected the city from any outside attacks.

The golems are said to remain dormant until a threat poses a large enough danger to the city itself, at which point, they are believed to awaken and use all their strength to deal with it.

Around the time the Clan was ruled by the 4th Human King—a great man who had continued the flourishing of the city—was when Demon King Lucifer decided to get greedy and attack the villages owned by the city. This caused the 4th King to go to war with the Demon Clan, which resulted in a victory for the Human Clan in the end. However, the battle was no easy feat.

History

Although they are called the Human Clan in name, the Clan itself is composed of much more than just humans alone. Races such as elves, dwarves, and many more all make up this massive Clan. The Clan is known to be one of the oldest among all four Clans, and true to that, they have the largest numbers among them. The reason they are called the “Human Clan” is believed to be because the original founders of the Clan were humans, while others believe it is due to the fact that most of the races resemble humans in form.

As one of the oldest and biggest Clans of all, it was founded by the 1st Human King, King Ragnarok Belltome, a very long time ago, the exact date of which is lost to time. The Clan first took shape as the benevolent King saw the fighting and chaos among the races and wished to create a home and a land where they could be at peace. He sought to make a kingdom where the different races could work together without the need for fighting, a place where peace was truly an option for all. To achieve this goal, he traveled the land far and wide, gathering members and loyal people to help him.

Soon enough, under the charismatic and genius King Ragnarok, the first official Human Clan city came to be. This city was known as Subete, but was referred to by the people as “the city of many” due to its unique trait of being mixed with many different races. At first, it was not much, it was composed of some humans, elves, dwarves, and a mixture of other races in the single digits. But as time flew by, this new city grew larger in size, gathering members from all sorts of other races and growing stronger in power.

Warring

While the Human Clan outnumbered the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan was both physically and magically strong, which gave them a good fighting chance in the battle. After many months of fighting, as expected, the Human Clan came out on top and executed Demon King Lucifer to prevent such foolish actions from happening again and to gain a better Demon King.

The losses the Human Clan suffered from this war were no small matter; many farmlands and people were lost, houses destroyed, and materials depleted. For a few years after the war had ended, the city went through a dark time, with many people starving due to a lack of crops, and others dying from illness.

There was nothing that could be done about this matter, so when the 5th Human King took over and raised the city back up to its former glory, and even beyond, to a point where it was better than before, it was considered nothing short of a miracle by God.

As time goes on, the city continues to grow and prosper.

Culture

The culture of the Human Clan is one of many. Due to it being home to many different races, they often adapt to and mix with cultures from various tribes as well. This, to them, is not a bad thing—the city enjoys having many different races that celebrate their own cultures and even finds joy when other races take part in cultures that aren't their own. This keeps the city lively and friendly at all times.

One thing the city does do, however, is worship Kami. As mentioned in the history of the city, Kami played a part in its protection, and as such, over time, the people began to worship Kami as their major deity. While it is not enforced to worship Kami in the city, most of the citizens do, as it is a major part of the city’s culture and roots.

Political

The political standing of the Human Clan has always been unique in its own ways, due to the collection of many races under a single banner. There has always been a noble house to represent at least one of the major races that make up the Human Clan. This ensures that each race is treated fairly and has an equal say in the development of the Human Clan.

Thanks to this political structure in the past, it has slowly evolved into the system used today, in which ten nobles of different races are selected to act as a council. This council is referred to as the “Council of Nobles,” and they aid the King with matters related to the Clan, along with having a say in matters concerning their respective races. This political system is what has allowed the Human Clan to grow into the intercultural and intertwined Clan it is today, where many are accepted.
