Human — Scars of Honor race

Human territory sits on Iron Garf, described in the knowledge base as one of the world's five continents. The framing given alongside early starting-zone footage is a kingdom under pressure: the king is calling human heroes from across the continents to aid the last human kingdom, and humans themselves are described as weakened and struggling to survive. This is not a race written as the dominant power of the setting — it is written as a besieged one.

The capital is Whitesong City, presented as the last great bastion of mankind on the continent and functioning as both fortress and port. Human society in the region is associated with seafaring, trade and a harsh coastline. The city takes its name from a monumental griffin-shaped stone sculpture overlooking it, carved so that sea wind passing through produces a melody.

Two other landmarks recur in the source material. Onas Gate is a massive wall that once held back the Undead tide — a detail that matters because the Undead were themselves once human, which makes the Sacred Order and Domination sides of that wall a family argument rather than a clash of strangers. Primrose Fields is the fertile heartland behind it, described as farmland and a major food source.

Humans also occupy a specific position in the setting's metaphysics. In the Infernal Demons' own account, human souls are not merely spoils of war but a vital resource, and human bodies are described as vessels made by the gods to hold souls — which is why the demons have hunted humanity since their creation rather than merely warring with it.

Starting-area accounts are less settled than the capital lore. The auto-captioned sources name the first human settlement two different ways — "Mornlanding" in August 2024 footage and "Melin's Landing" in September 2024 — and separately describe Bravestone Cliff as the human starting area, Mediterranean-inspired and bright.

There are no published racial bonuses for Humans, and that is not an omission on this page — no race in Scars of Honor has a named racial passive on record, because the system itself has not been decided.

A December 2025 development discussion described racial traits as still under internal debate rather than cut, and explained their absence from the redesigned website as a consequence of that unresolved argument. The specific worry raised was the interaction with a talent tree of roughly 300 nodes: flat percentage bonuses layered on top of that could become disproportionately strong. The counter-argument on record is that race should carry gameplay meaning beyond appearance. Some designers were described as opposed and others in favour, with no decision presented.

A community Q&A in April 2026 produced the same answer from the other direction. The developer response summarised there was that traits remain under internal design debate, that the main fear is over-tuning pushing players toward meta picks — choosing a race for its stats rather than its identity — and that if traits ship they are unlikely to be game-breaking or highly impactful. No final decision was locked.

Humans have one piece of relevant history. Players discussing racial passives in March 2026 cited a bonus against humans that existed on the demon side in earlier versions of the game as a warning example of the kind of trait that distorts faction choice. It is cited as something that used to exist, not as something planned.

The list below is the race→class matrix this site's gear planner enforces, taken from the game client's own data. Read it as the Sacred Order's class pool rather than a per-race list: all four Sacred Order races carry identical entries, and all four Domination races carry a different identical set.

That uniformity is worth flagging, because the alpha build behaved more tightly than it. Players in the April–May 2026 test reported that anyone who wanted to play Mage had to roll Human — which is the asterisk attached to the "Humans were the most-played race" figure that came out of the test. A race that monopolises a popular class will win a popularity count regardless of how appealing it is.

The matrix is also explicitly provisional. Official messaging in April 2026 presented a full race × class availability table as the current plan for early access and likely 1.0, while stating the matrix is subject to change. A month earlier the developers had pulled their own race/class chart from circulation, with the explanation that it did not reflect the latest setup and that an updated version would follow. In late April they said combinations were still being adjusted in response to feedback.

Humans were used as the reference race when the customisation system was rebuilt. An October 2024 walkthrough showed them with multiple face presets, hair colours, hairstyles, beard styles, tattoos and scars, and framed the race as the baseline example for the new structure — the other races' options are described relative to what humans get.

Human female facial work was singled out for revision in November 2024. The stated goal was to avoid both uncanny realism and overly stylised, doll-like features, aiming instead for a believable fantasy-human appearance. In September 2025 the developers said every playable race had been recreated from scratch, including new character models and renewed work on stance, movement and animation, so the human model that shipped in the alpha is not the one shown in the 2024 material.

One detail shows how far the per-race treatment is meant to go: race-specific underwear was given as an example of the approach, with the point that rather than a single generic undergarment set across all characters, the clothing should reflect each race's own culture and style.

Two constraints apply to every race, humans included. Full slider-based body customisation is not favoured, and the reason given is technical rather than aesthetic — the armour system is complex enough that unrestricted body scaling would create fitting problems across equipment. Additional ethnicity variations were described as in development as of March 2026.

Human architecture is drawn as Romanesque and Byzantine rather than the generic late-medieval timber-house look, using arches, domes, masonry and orange roof tiles.
