On the social front, humans on Neddel are arguably the most advanced society on the planet with the elves likely to be also vying for the number one slot. The ruling class varies from region to region with no centralized body of government. A small town may have the mayor as the only elected official, while a large fiefdom may remain under the control of a vast monarchy for generations. Dictatorships and other such tyrannies have and still do exist on Neddel, but these are often short-lived with rulership passing from hand to hand due mainly to internal power struggles.
Religion is seen as a healthy outlet for the community, and church programs are often encouraged. Atheists and agnostics are often present to some degree, and are afforded a respected tolerance among worshippers of the Soul.
The human perspective on magic is another story, unfortunately. Humans born with a natural talent or interest in the arcane are often ostricized and descriminated against. Hence, there is a proportionately small number of human mages when compared to wizards of the other races. Some regions of humans are willing to tolerate spell-casters to the point of actually looking past their mystic abilities, but these are rarities. Most towns and cities will let the occasional wizard pass by with some spitting and cursing directed at the mage. And then there are some towns that will lynch anything carrying the slightest hint of enchantments. Mages and suspected mages alike are still victims of brutal hate-crimes by these bigoted communities.
The bulk of the human wizards go to the home library of the Spirits, which acts as both college and fortress. This library sits built upon a mountain that ironically happens to reside next to the small town of Gil-ki-tew, potentially the highest concentration of anti-magic sentiment in the Humanlands. It is in this library that mages are able to find acceptance among others like them and further their education in the field of magic. The Spirits act as the school's instructors and headmasters, teaching so that the art of spell-work is not lost in the sea of hate. Before being admitted to the school, students must take a strict vow of non-violence and forsake the use of combative magic. This ideal mainly stems from self-preservation as the Spirits see the only way to curb the prejudice against them is by keeping their practices completely passive. Students who do not follow this code are soon ejected from the school. The mundane society that condemns them has naturally spawned a fair amount of contempt among the wizards, though there are many, particularly among the Spirits, who simply wish to be accepted into the rest of the world.
