Human

Overview
Humans in Faerûn are widespread and can be found in most regions. There are no human subraces but there is great ethnic diversity between humans in different regions. The humans of Faerûn are, in general, fierce and disagreeable which can sometimes lead certain other races to view them with contempt. Humans are short-lived compared to races such as the elves and dwarves whose lives can span many centuries.

D&D Version 3.0
In the Forgtten Realms Campaign Setting humans are described as one race with no sub-races or ethnic groups. All humans enjoy the human racial traits described in the Player's Handbook

D&D Version 3.5
In the Players Guide to Faerûn humans are divided into seven major ethnic groups. These ethnic groups are not sub-races, so all humans enjoy the human racial traits described in the Player's Handbook.
