[[Welcome]] in the Intelligent Life and Groups section of the [[Encyclopaedia Erathia]]. This part of the encyclopaedia is focused on the studying of the various sentient species of [[Erathia]], as well as the way they organised in ethnic groups over time. By reading this section, you will get to know more about their origines, their appearance, as well as the spread of each of these species and their cultures across the world. Created by the [[Aspects]] almost ten thousand years ago, [[Humankind]] had made itself the most common and widespread sentient genus on Erathia. However, it is not a single uniform group, as several species exist within this genus. The following list mentions the known and confirmed species of the genus *Homo* observed throughout history : - The [[Humans]], present on Erathia since the [[Age of Creation]], are the most diverse and widespread species of our genus, with its recorded history being the source of the entirety of Erathia's history.. - The [[Vampyrs]], a cousin species of the Humans that appeared sometime during the [[Age of Insurrection]], now extinct. - The [[Hosts]], the most recent species, they were engineered by the [[Aspects]] during the [[Reign of Blood]], to fight back the threat of the [[Scorched Guard]] during the eponym conflict. - The [[Martyrs]], which are not a species, but have to be included in this list for a matter of transparency relative to their creation and short-lived existence. As for the groups, we have made the choice to list two different point of entries to this topic. - The [[Five People]], also perceived as being the original tribes created by the Aspects during the [[Age of Creation]], which are still to this day used as a way to trace back the ancestry of individuals despite several millennia of ethnic mixing between the descendent of the Five People. - The [[Erathian ethnic groups]], which are the result of the studies of our ethnologists partners and their predecessors. This approach tries to list the large branches of Erathian ethnicities across several classifications, such as linguistic groups or populations existing during the same historical periods.
