Uthari

The Uthari, also known as "True Paxians", are a significant race of men descended from the ancient kingdom of Paxos. The Uthari are distinguished by their exceptional way with words and elevated senses, which is said to be a gift from the gods.
== Origins ==
After the daughter of King Pyrion, Princess Ira, wedded one of the gods, the first Uthari descendants were born. They were given this name by the gods because of several distinct differences between them and other humans. The Uthari were very intelligent, and learnt to have a cunning way with words at a young age. Princess Ira claimed that their stronger senses were also a gift from the gods in an attempt to make the Uthari stand out.
Through several generations, the Uthari became a prominent group of individuals. The name Uthari came with a lot of respect and responsibility, and at first, the Uthari rose up to their responsibilities to the Paxian people. Over time, some of the Uthari started calling themselves "True Paxians", claiming to be more important to the kingdom than regular people. This resulted in the civil war that lead to the downfall of Paxos.
Few of the Uthari survived the demise of Paxos, and were banished to the east. After living in seclusion for several years, the Uthari noticed that their "special" traits were fading. Being afraid of losing favor from the gods, as well as the fear of losing their heritage, the last remaining Uthari set out one more time in an attempt to bring back the old glory of Paxos.
== Appearance ==
Although the Uthari have the physique of other humans, they tend to dress in ancient Paxian attire. Because of their strong beliefs, they unite under one banner and can often be recognized because of this. The few remaining Uthari are all descendants from different families, and do not share physical similarities.
== Culture and Beliefs ==
Most of the cultural appropriations and beliefs were lost during the fall of Paxos and the decrease of Uthari. The few books and pieces of writing that were saved are kept safely by the Uthari, and are not shared with outsiders under any circumstances. The Uthari share a strong belief in the gods of old and are very protective of their history. It is considered a crime for the Uthari to discuss their past with others. The last remaining Paxos Tree can be found in the courtyard before the Ravos stronghold, being the last tree of its kind.
