Lorebook: People

People are those created by the All-Creator with certain qualities setting them apart from the rest of the fauna of Somewhere Else. There was originally one form, the Qualruun ("original folk"), though they now come in various forms all sharing the same ultimate origin and basic building blocks. They are capable of reason and creativity and they possess moral conscience, they also have agency and are capable of choice. They are not merely material nor merely spirit but possess both in an unavoidably evident way. Back at creation, they ruled over Somewhere Else together as steward-kings (an alternate translation for the word Qualruun). Originally, all people were immortal.

And thus they were created due to the great love of the All-Creator. The All-Creator willed for creation to bestow blessing and blessing upon: to love. He created People in accordance with that.
