After reading some of the dialogue and reading the lore, it almost seems like humans on Savarra are doomed to fade away or murdered or enslaved by its now more aggressive tainted inhabitants or the stronger races and their kingdoms who are now descending upon them after being completely brought low by the godswar and having lost pretty much everything since we don't really have an entry for humans in the Codex, I would really like to know the state of humanity after the godswar.

The apocalypse happened two centuries ago. Humans, along with the rest of Savarra, are slowly rebuilding. It's not an easy process, because the Godswar was incredibly destructive and there's still Wraith-touched nightmares in the nooks and crannies of the world. But humans are clawing their way back, just like everyone else in the area.

For the most part, they're trending upward.

Keep in mind that Humanity not only survived an apocalypse, but it had previously built a massive empire that was the premiere world power, and it built that empire often against the same "stronger" species.

Humans in CoC2 are presented as both tough and cunning, that is a very combination to have to deal with.

Now, granted, Humanity will probably fall, like all the other races, should the Champion fail, but it'll be less a question of "how quickly will Humans fade away" and more "when will Kas regret poking that particular hornets nest"

Totally screwed if you let Kas go about unchecked.
Both figuratively and literally, no doubt.

Oh, that's good since there is very little information about them other than the small flavour text at the start.

Demonic sex crabs when? Regarding the topic depends on how the nations and races would react (would they bend the knee , unite and fight or fall like dominos one by one) and if the champ is the only entity capable of stopping Kas , the gods also could do something since she would be meddling in their business on their turf sooner or later (temples and followers) so yeah there are a lot of things that could tip the scale one way or another.

A couple other points worth mentioning: The Frost Marches were already the ass-end of Belhar before the Godswar made a mess of everything and humans were latecomers even then as the region was home to the lupines first and foremost. Meanwhile we know of surviving states with large human populations that are doing about as well for themselves as anyone is, like Tronarii. Presumably Yvennes would be another, since their royal line is human and emerged from the Godswar with enough culture to give us someone like Evelyn.
