In this episode of
Roll for Lore, we explore the story of
humans—both in our real-world myths and history, and in the ever-evolving world of
Dungeons & Dragons. From their roots as the “default” race of early editions to their rise as one of the most
diverse, ambitious, and influential peoples in the game, humans have always stood out for their adaptability and drive. We’ll look at the different human cultures and ethnicities across the
Forgotten Realms, exploring how each reflects the rich variety of the Realms. Along the way, we trace how humans have been portrayed through folklore, mythology, and storytelling—from flawed heroes to empire builders—and how their restless ambition has shaped both history and fantasy alike. Whether you see them as conquerors, innovators, or survivors, this episode reveals why humans remain the heart of D&D.
