Humans of Cormagh
The War of Man lasted several generations, and those that lived within the conquered lands often made peace with their neighbors after the war's end. Thus, there are always remnants of the Vizeria empire scattered across Cormagh in the form of human settlements, or towns that sprung up when the empires forces marched northward. They have not grown large, but now Cormagh has a large melting pot of human civilizations across the land.
Vizerian
Vizerians are the descendants of the nobility and initial official pilgrimages for the Cormagh peninsula. During the war most of them occupied positions that directly or indirectly profited off of the war and when it ended, most of them used that wealth to found great houses and businesses. Humans of Vizerian descent dominate the center of Cormagh, the surrounding area of their capital Varigge and Lake Sarieth. They are tall and slender people, with hair that can range from almost black to almost blonde. Most have green eyes or hazel eyes, with olive skin.

Diamorian
The Vizeria Empire was not always whole, and during the formation of it many fled to Cormagh to found a nation of their own. The Diamorans represent those that came before the real Vizeria empire. They discovered and rebuilt The City of Diamonds, and although the city was reclaimed by the Empire during the war, when it ended they took back their independence and now remain a free nation. Diamorans are usually tall and muscular with dark mahogany skin, curly black hair, and dark eyes.

Keluracian
Those that roam the plains of Kelurac are mainly the men and women that made up the brunt of the forces that attacked Rhaegos from the West. Cut off from the wider empire, they attempted to co-exist with the Orcs of the plains that they had fought beside. Mostly nomadic tribes of barbarians, the Keluracian people are fractured in a way. Many took up residence in the Boiling bay, and built ships to sail along it. Others still roam the plains. They are usually tall, fair-skinned with blue or steely gray eyes. Most have raven-black hair, but those on the coast often have blond,red, or light brown hair.

Half Humans
The Half-orcs and Half-Elves
Smarter than the Average Orc
Within Orc society, disputes are settled with a competition of some kind. Traditionally, this meant a test of strength, as orcs in this world are not inherently evil, but they are inherently violent. Historically they were ruled by the strong. After the war, a particular tenant of this tradition caused the growing population of Half-orcs to come into power: The challenged party has the right to decide the rules of the competition. This meant that a challenger couldn't usually pick a competition in which he had an unfair advantage. This has now led to the smarter orcs and half-orcs gaining significant power by outsmarting their brethren. Sensing a shift, one orc chieftain took all the chances he could get in raiding human settlements and stealing away with their women. After all, the children bred by human and orc led to the weaker, smaller, but smarter half-orcs. His sons became powerful in their society, and cunning enough to keep it. The result: The orc forces and race in general are reinforced by often very intelligent(compared to orcs) leaders or advisers. They have also facilitated trade and have ambassadors with other non-humans.
No Real Place
The Half-elves are not always considered negatively, but it entirely depends on the nature of their birth. Sometimes human druids or rangers roam into the forests of the Elves and are accepted for their love of nature. The half-elves born of these unions are widely accepted within the elven community. They are Wildborn. Similarly, those elves who have abandoned the wild and taken up residence in any of the human civilizations are accepted within the human society. They are Civilborn. They are generally easy to tell apart, but any half-elves torn between their heritages are looked down upon.
