The Martish Empire conquered numerous nations with their own cultures. The humans found in the colonies reflect this assortment of upbringings. Most remember what was and what has been lost. The first generation of humans born in the new world have reached adulthood. In someways the short lifespan of the humans is blessing for they will soon forget the specifics of the the Old World.

Not all humans found in the colonies were citizens of the Martish Empire. Humans refugees from Techogaxoan Empire have slowly moved in. They are typically enthusiastic to aid the settlers. Used to the demands for faster work by their tiefling masters, even when not forced a refugee will often do more work than any peer without realizing it. While tiefling refugees explain the state of the Techogaxoan Empire, few human escapees talked about their time there.

The tieflings found in the colonies are often good natured. Most disagree with the constant thirst for new sacrifices. Some however were simply unable to conform to their society. The disruptive tieflings do not fare much better in the colonies.
