Uthanata (culture)

The Uthanata are native to the northern plains and hills of the region known as Darmirat. Due to their environment, they adopted a more pragmatic lifestyle to combat and society, resulting in a history of skilled tacticians and logisticians, and a legacy of strong leaders that enforce more direct control over their subjects, often through greater transparency of their actions and a strong legal system that has roots in the Otachedian laws.

While these liberal traditions are sometimes mistaken as a sign that the Uthanata are more flexible to outer influences, further from the truth, the people are extremely protective of their way of life. Between the constant unrest among the local Tanumarei, the highly appeasing nature of the Vaxanaka, and the danger posed by the influx of foreign intrigue through the Vastarnai traders, the Uthanati view themselves as bastions of the Dayatemi people that inhabit the region against the rest of Kashirya and their many different alien cultures. As such, they have always vigorously claimed the lands of all the Dayatemi, dreaming of uniting the disparate sister cultures and forming a strong cultural union in order to better defend the lands and traditions of their ancestors.
