Nuuomokaw

## Overview

The Nuuomokaw are one of the major Kaw races currently thriving in the plane of Reality. They were birthed by The Eternal Soaring of Creation in the isolated area of Lake Tasket in the year 1925 of the Emrite Era. Though they are the eldest of The Eternal's Kaw to still survive in Soly, the Nuuomokaw are perhaps the most mysterious and elusive beings known to exist, frequently passing through entire eras with barely a single sighting.

With the drying and subsequent migration from Lake Tasket to the open sea around the 4000th year of the Emrite Era, sightings have become even more infrequent, and it would appear that the race has no interest in the affairs of the land.

## Description

Nuuomokaw are bipedal Kaw creatures, with shimmering scale patches dotting their slender and somewhat spindly bodies. Their eyes are said to be more intense than even the steeliest Dreygun, and are quite large in relation to the other Kaw. As Nuuomokaw live under the ocean's waves, it is presumed that they can either hold their breath for massive lengths of time, or don't even require oxygen at all. It is assumed that they don't live in the deepest recesses of the ocean, as that would break the Pilfering Depths' threshold.

Of the very few confirmed sightings, and the regular unconfirmed ones, it is said that Nuuomokaw range in height from 5'2 to 5'8 and have a wide variety of scale colors. Their skin beneath is typically of a light blue to light green variety, though Goode-Shj's skin was a faded yellow. They typically wear clothing consisting of many elaborately shaped coral plates, generally not obstructing their unique scale patterns. It is estimated that the Nuuomokaw live about as long as Humans, or perhaps slightly longer. The differences between male and female Nuuomokaw are negligible at a glance, though it does appear that females are on average, slightly larger.

## History

The first of the Eternal Soaring's Kaw were born when the golden hand touched down in Lake Tasket in the year 1925 of the Emrite Era. As Lake Tasket was completely isolated deep in the mountains lining the southern border of Khumundba and Wrerak, the Nuuomokaw were able to live in relative isolation for nearly 2100 years. When the lake dried, the Nuoomokaw collectively migrated as a society to the cold ocean just south of the mountainrange.

If The Fifth Soaring really existed, as indicated by the tablet left behind at Lake Tasket, its influence likely helped shepherd the Nuuomokaw to the ocean, either by gifting them something to acclimate them to the environment, or to simply help guide them there.

Since the society's collective migration to the ocean, sightings and information on the Nuuomokaw have been scarce, to say the least, though they have occurred at seemingly random intervals. Of the confirmed Nuuomokaw sightings, the most credible comes from The Library itself, when a young Nuuomokaw boy washed ashore nearby Mt. Zymik in year 325 of the Pulsekaw Era. He was rushed into The Library in an effort to save his life, though no record of him exists in public beyond his initial sighting. It is thus assumed that he died shortly afterwards.

At the very beginning of the Human Era, when tensions were high after the disappearance of the Pulsekaw, the most credible sighting of a Nuuomokaw occurred. This took approximately five straight years of continued ledgers of various languages and materials dropped into various locations in the sea, where eventually a Nuuomokaw ambassador was reluctantly sent to Curmimes to meet with the Humans about the power vacuum left by the Pulsekaw. The Nuuomokaw ambassador requested there be a minimal audience, and no fanfare for the meeting. The terms were accepted, though The Lorekeeper was able to gain a formal seat at the meeting, if only to sit quietly and record notes. Many of these notes were strangely detail-oriented, including many passages about the timbre of the ambassadors voice, much to the confusion of the reader when it was eventually published.

The meeting lasted only two dozen minutes, where the ambassador quickly and quietly dismissed any notion that the Nuuomokaw were interested in warring for Soly's power vacuum, despite likely having a vastly superior force to the Humans at this point in history. When the meeting concluded, the ambassador quietly slinked back into the ocean, ending the only diplomatic relationship the race has ever undertaken as of current events.

## Notes

* The ambassador who met with the Humans at the start of their era was named "Goode'Shj", one of the only confirmed names of any Nuuomokaw to make it to the surface.
