Humans
Humans, by far, are the most populous race on Krynn. One of the original races created by the gods, humans have been on the earth since the beginning. A gift of the Gods of Neutrality, humans lives are destined to be short, but because of the limited duration they fill their days with passion and ambition. Humans usually live for about 90 years.
Wherever one may travel they will encounter humans. Of course there are some exceptions-you won't find humans in Silvanesti-but for the most part they live everywhere. Humans can be "civilized" or barbarian; intelligent or stupid; black or white.
The common human is generally a farmer, one who tills the land in the manner of classic England. They are not serfs necessarily; there seem to be many 'freemen' farmers, but the common folk generally are not distinguished. If one travels to the cities, they will see merchants and shop keepers, artisans and artists replace the common farmer.
KNIGHTS OF SOLAMNIA
Only humans can become Knights of Solamnia. The knighthood, founded by Vinas Solamnus, accepts only human applicants, and until recently only from noble families. In the entire history of the Knights, there have been few exceptions; the most notable was the honorary (but still official) knighthood granted to Tanis Half-Elven following the War of the Lance. The most notable members of this elite group of humans are Huma Dragonbane, Vinas Solamnus, Lord Soth and Sturm Brightblade.
BARBARIANS
Generally, the barbarian humans are more like the Native American Indian tribes, which we know. They generally live in small villages, in movable structures, and wear skins rather than fabric. Barbarians inhabit the plains of Abanasinia, as well as the ice barbarians who live just north of Icewall glacier. Famous barbarians are Wanderer, Goldmoon and Riverwind.
