The Uthern

The Uthern are a species of aquatic, very calm and peaceful beings. They disappeared around a millennia ago, and nothing was known about them until Mineriada entered AdohiDeCanilu and told her story.

The Uthern lived underwater, on the floor of the deepest and darkest oceans. They built houses and temples out of blue bricks, lighting them up with lanterns. They had a mouth, but they didn't use it for talking, only for eating. They could communicate their thoughts to other Uthern if they really wanted. It was pretty hard, and Uthern children often didn't know how to communicate at all. It usually took a few years until children learnt how to communicate. The Uthern had a very long life, reaching almost 2000 years. The Uthern were monarchic, and the Temple, the biggest building in any city, was where the King or Queen stayed. The King or Queen of a city were usually old, and were chosen by all the people from that city. All the Uthern men and women had equal rights.

They named all of their children with a single first name, the second name being either of their parent's first name. Mineriada, at the age of 17, renounced to his second name though.

The Uthern could live out of the water too, but in a short time after they left water, they would turn into normal humans.

Around 1000 years before Mineriada entered AdohiDeCanilu, a massive earthquake destroyed all of the Uthern cities and killed almost all the Uthern, only one female surviving by leaving the water.
