Humans of Imarel and Ishaela - by T.A. Saunders ©2009 v1.7
The collected people of Shalzaar are the direct descendants of the original settlers from Ishaela. They are commonly referred to as Hill People or Hill-Folk for the fact that a great many of them settled the hilly lands that would eventually become Brookshire and Moonfall. These people would also make up the bulk of the settlers that would found Windsong (with the Moon Elves), Vale and Sundown.
Most Hill-Folk tend to be ginger, black or brown haired, with a handful showing up blonde, with eyes favoring brown, blue and green. They are fair-skinned and tend to be a solidly built people (something in-between the immense People of the North and the lithe and sleek People of the South). Most men average around six foot five, while the women are roughly around five feet and eight inches.
The Shalzaari also make up the bulk of civilized humans on Imarel and are the fore-bearers of most Human knowledge in Magic, Mathematics and the Sciences. Hill People also tend to be good at manufacturing gunpowder weapons, like cannons and flintlocks; trades learned from the ancient Dwarves of Ishaela and passed down for generations.
Of the four distinct races of Humans, the Hill Folk are the most boisterous and tend to get into the most trouble. They are adventurous, curious and often leap without looking. This does not constitute an inability to think, but simply a willingness to take risks. It is said amongst the gypsies that a safe bet is a Hillsman taking a bet.
The Shalzaari make up the largest Human population on Imarel and Brookshire was once boasted as being the largest human city on Imarel, until the discovery of secretive people of Albadosia and their sprawling capital of Kazban.
