The [[Society|people]] of [[Arginet]] - and of every [[Foreign nations|other nation]] in the world - are human.

Not every person remains fully human, however. A strong alignment to one of the [[The Elements|elements]] will eventually transform a human into a [[fay]] whose body and mind are suffused with the nature of that element. This can happen at any time, but rarely happens before adolescence; it is particularly common in [[the Noble Houses]] due to their strong traditions and resonances from their estates.

Since [[the Breaking]], some [[ancestors]] have returned to their bodies as unliving [[wights]]. They are instantly recognisable as walking corpses, but they are in most regards as human as any other citizen apart from the fact that they are dead. Arginet is still adjusting to the existence of wights and their place in the law and in society is unclear.

Other worlds evidently have humans as well, since every [[Offworlders|offworlder]] recognisable as a person has been clearly human.
