Hello.
I'm looking to run a swords and sorcery game with relatively low magic, horror elements, and a human campaign world. (Think Robert E. Howard's Hyborean Age with the horror aspects dialed up.)
I was wondering which pawn sets would be the best as sources of potential characters -- PCs and normal-type NPCs. I have the various Bestiary boxes, but those don't really apply. Naturally, there are the NPC Codex Box and the Inner Sea Pawn Box sets. Still, I was wondering if any of the various Pawn Collection products featured a greater-than-usual concentration of human characters.
Also, what would be the best Pawn Collections to get for the horror elements? (Obviously, the Bestiary boxes are of much greater help there, but I just don't know the Pawn Collections that well.)
Thanks in advance for any guidance you folks can send my way!

I find the NPC Codex box set to be the best first buy in any case, just because it's so versatile.
If that's still not enough humanoids for you, there'll probably be a Villain Codex Box which should have a lot of humanoids. The Monster Codex has a lot of humanoid-shaped things but many of them aren't "good citizen" bipeds (orcs, goblins, vampires, ghouls).
Strange Aeons AP has horror elements covered I'd bet, but being from an AP, it also has a lot of named/specific critters.
