'''Humekind''' (often shortened to '''Hume''') is one of the principal mortal peoples of Mundus. Lore records a migratory Hume tribe arriving on a southern shore '''over a thousand cycles ago''' after a cataclysm in their original homeland; later histories credit Humes with major civil, technical, and political developments across [[Directionland]].

== Mythic origins ==
Within [[Aetherian Faith|Aetherian]] cosmology, the first mortal children of Mundus—[[Elia and Metikan|'''Elia''' and '''Metikan''']]—are named as the progenitors of humankind, establishing Humekind’s place in sacred history.

== Early history and settlement ==
As the Humes moved north, they traveled for several cycles with the '''Ruul’yun''' ([[Elvenkind]]). Though each revered a different principal deity (Humes—'''[[Simonius]]'''; Ruul’yun—'''[[Odivia]]'''), both belonged to the '''[[Aetherian Faith]]'''. The alliance ended when the Humes chose fertile plains for settlement while the Ruul’yun continued in search of '''[[Ruul’chtan]]''' (God’s Mountain). The Humes’ settlement—rich in gold—grew around a “'''Golden City''',” whose '''[[Golden Tower]]''' became an enduring symbol; this community later evolved into '''[[St. Stylinson]]'''.

== Society and culture ==
Sources repeatedly describe Humes as '''adaptive''' and '''ingenuity-driven''', with reputational strengths in practical problem-solving and coordination. Early chronicles attribute to Humekind the development of '''cures for poisons''', the [[Directionland Royal Railways|mechanical '''railway''']], and '''redstone''' electrical systems—innovations that later shaped imperial infrastructure.

=== Faith ===
Historically, Humes venerated '''[[Simonius]] (“the Father”)''' within the Aetherian tradition. In later state practice, Directionland adopts Simonius as national patron while retaining a broad [[Aetherian Faith|Aetherian]] liturgy.

=== Language ===
In the imperial heartlands, everyday speech is '''[[Common Directian]]''', which diverged over centuries from '''[[Ruulden]]'''—the latter remaining the ceremonial tongue of [[Ruulran]] and of older records.

== Political influence ==
Humekind communities were central to the formation of '''[[Directionland]]''', from early kingdoms to the later '''[[Great Unification]]''' and imperial institutions. Many prominent leaders and figures across the period are recorded as Humekind.

== Technology and achievements ==
Humekind’s technical legacy includes the '''[[Directionland Royal Railways|railway network]]''' that ultimately unified distant settlements and the wider adoption of engineered systems (e.g., redstone). Later centuries saw energy-defense advances that, while not exclusively “human inventions,” built upon earlier practical traditions associated with Hume engineers.
