Edinian

Demeanour:

The Edinian's are a cultural human race, leaning towards scholarly and artistic ways. reaching above and beyond their current means. Unfortunately, this drive to succeed often puts them in direct conflict with both the other races of the world and even other Humans during the course of their lives.
Edinian's thrive on the principles of their empire, believing that it is more refined and civilised than other human races. This makes them somewhat aloof and prone to assume they are the most intelligent in the room, although they generally manage to control it at least to outward appearances.  They constantly 
strive to better themselves, whether it is to expand the land of a lowly farm, or even the size of a great nation.

Edinian's forever desire more and are compelled to advance their lot in life any way possible. It should be noted, however, that while not every Edinian Human share these extremes they each possess this innate 
trait to some degree.

While not being warlike, they are oft seen to be promoting their culture through political means.  This does not always go to plan as they were an instrumental part of the war, being one of the first states to have their King corrupted, leading to the breaking of the nexus that kept the lands safe.
