[edit] = True Ancient Human
TA Human have always existed. TA humans are very rare, and its even more rare, that a TA human reveals his true race.
Their origin are old, very old. For long time ago, a king named Raymond Tarkon, took a trip to an abandoned and haunted library. They were supposed to find an ancient tome. Rumours said, that the tome would grant immortality to everyone who read it.
Raymond Tarkon was lawful good, and king of all the east. He was loved by many, and hated by even more. Especially druids and other nature-lovers loved him, since according to him, the nature was sacred. Cutting down a tree was punished with death. He loved nature and live, and he fighted all there tried to harm the nature So after many years on the throne, the evil Darkos from the South regions, and the corrupted Hurin from the North decided to attack Raymond. It was bloody, but it was clear, that Raymond wouldnt stand much longer. Only a miracle could turn the war into his favour.
Then one day, his oracle came to him, and told Raymond about a vision he had. It was about a ruin, a old and ancient ruin of a big library. There should be a tome there had survived the fire. The oracle didnt knew what the tome was about, but it should have been written by the gods themselfs.
Raymond wasted nomore time, he called his right hand, Razlon, a powerful wizard, and then they was on their way to the ruin along with the oracle.
They arrived and saw the ruins. So they started to searched for the tome, and it didnt took them long to find it. They rushed back to the city, and on their way back Raymond opened the book. The first phrase was Borukanthalau'Unevanskillaub. So he asked his wizard to decipher it when they came back.
Razlon ran to his study chamber, and when he opened the book, he realized that it was written in Truespeech.
He has just read for about an hour, when he discovered, that this book was the way to immortality. But unfortunately only the one who reads the book himself gets total immortality, and the ability to pass a part of it over. And that part was only immortality to aging.
The war ended, and the kingdom was destroyed. Only Razlon, Raymond and some few others survived and fled into the mountains.
Now those who survived the war, are more than 1000 years old, and they are guarding the Tome of Immortality. Of course they still have their sexual attractions, so therefore there are still borned new TA humans.
They are very wise, and have alot of knowledge from 100's of generations, but they are not that strong, since they spend all their time in studying, achieve new ancient knowledge, and gather empowered artifacts.
Now after more than 1500 years, they exist all over the world, but are stil unknown to many, and very very rare to see.
They are also know as The Protectors of the Nature.
[edit] Personality
They love nature more than anything else, they love it even more than druids. They seek knowledge every day, and they seek to keep nature sacred and peaceful. They worship all life, except for those who take the lives of others. They see themselves as gods who watch over nature, and also judge themselves. So they are very peaceful, but if you kill a squirrel, cut down a tree or trample a bloom, then you better start running. Some might say they are quite cynical to humans, since a TA human would rather save a tree, than a human. Because they don't engage in melee combat they normally lack physical strength, though they have a very high stamina due to their long lives.
