	Humans in the Iron Kingdoms are basically the same as the humans that you know and feel neutrally about from every other RPG game ever and/or real life (where applicable). They're probably the most populous race in Caen (since they're the only race that has been seen to live on other continents), as well as the rulers of all of the Iron Kingdoms and the Circle Orboros. As is standard in most fantasy settings, Humans have a tendency to reckless experimentation with pretty much any form of technology or magic, which means that they're the most innovative race in the Kingdoms as well as the most likely to turn to crazy evil shit.

	Pretty much the only unique thing about humans in the Iron Kingdoms is that Privateer Press has actually put some thought into how ethnicity works in their world. The human population of every kingdom is comprised of at least two ethnic groups, which trace back to pre-Occupation tribes. This can provide a bit of interesting extra character detail if you feel inclined to think about it. This sounds interesting and might be, although for every nation the story is basically "these guys are in charge because they were more successful at being dicks than the others". Its only really important in Llael, where half the country would rather side with the invading Khadorans.

	Rules-wise, humans get average-to-good stats across the board plus a free stat point. They are also goddamn fucking <s>spoiled for options</s> racist, with more unique race-locked classes than anyone else in the core book and sole access to almost all of the classes released in the first major expansion. The aristocracy, priesthood, and most knightly orders and elite forces are closed off to non-humans.		Rules-wise, humans get average-to-good stats across the board plus a free stat point.

	Well, come the advent of [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] and the failure of their own branded [[Iron Kingdoms RPG]], and Privateer Press has decided to try it again: a 5e-based RPG called ''[[Iron ~~Kingdom~~: Requiem]]'', after being held up for months thanks to the 2021 plague, finally released in January 2022.		Well, come the advent of [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] and the failure of their own branded [[Iron Kingdoms RPG]] (as well as pretty much the rest of their wargame line, but that's not to discuss here), and Privateer Press has decided to try it again: a 5e-based RPG called ''[[Iron Kingdoms: Requiem]]'', after being held up for months thanks to the 2021 plague, finally released in January 2022. This gave players an insight to how Immoren has fared since the end of MkIII, for better and worse.

	Urbanized trollkin live all over the Iron Kingdoms, though they are most common outside of human-supremacist Menoth and openly-xenophobic Khador, and they occupy a space not unlike 19th century American immigrants: doing more work for less pay while living in ethnically-segregated neighborhoods. But, they aren't outright murdered in the streets like black people either, and their racial crafts (stonecutting and textiles) are often highly-prized by collectors.

	Rural trollkin live in ''kriels'', complete with their own individual patterned kilts, all over the heart of the continent, from the western borders of Cygnar to the Rimeshaws in the icy north. Like the ancient Scottish clans, they're all very possessive about their little patches of territory, and like Native Americans, they were promised ownership of their ancestral lands by the white-man-analogue for helping fight off the Orgoth, only to see him systemically violate the shit out of their various agreements for generations whenever something he wanted was lying around on their property. Though disconnected and estranged for their entire history, the kriels have ~~begun~~ begun to coalesce into a united proto-state under the charismatic leadership of Madrak Ironhide in the face of the ongoing world war, despite many, many setbacks.

Added some notes on the "DLC" for 5e Iron Kingdoms.

			===DLC Content===
			Never ones to miss a trick to milk money out of their fanbase, they've also realized that the internet age means that the old "DLC" model can be exploited by tabletop games as well as videogames. As a result, they've begun offering new "optional" mechanical content as paid purchases from their online store.

			So far, there's only three DLCs for Iron Kingdoms 5e; the '''Man o' War''' [[Fighter]] subclass, representing the [[steampunk]] [[Power Armor]]-clad warriors of Khador; the '''Path of the Condemned''', a [[Barbarian]] subclass that lets you play as a Doom Reaver; and finally the '''Blackclad''' class, a new alternative to represent the [[druid]]s of the [[Circle Orboros]] as playable classes. The Blackclad comes with three subclasses; the Path of Storms, the Path of Stone, and the Path of the Wayfarer.

	The other great big god of the setting; Chaotic Neutral God of the Wilderness. The Wurm represents wild beasts, forests, and all that jazz. However, he is not a peaceful happy nature god; he is into blood sacrifice, burning down cities, and creating monsters for the fun of it. He's such a jerk that in the background lore a lot of his defeated worshipers converted to Menoth as he was the more benign of the two. Like Menoth, he's too preoccupied fighting his arch-rival to pay any attention to the world. Wurm-worshippers tend to be savage wild cannibals. His worshipers believe that they will get to join his eternal hunt across Urcaen when they die, looking for lost souls to eat and laying siege to the City of Man.

	The [[Circle Orboros]] view the Wurm and Dhunia as two aspects of the same god, representing the destructive and nurturing aspects of nature respectively, although their version of this single god is a lot closer to the Wurm than Dhunia. They believe that Menoth and the Wurm must remain in balance, or the losing party will try to escape into Caen and probably step on and/or eat it in short order. Since Menoth is so powerful what with the spread of civilization and all, so they're trying to take civilization down a few pegs. If the wilderness was too powerful, they'd build a metropolis or two.
