Abstuutha Clan

Clan Abstuutha, unlike the other Duuema clans, does not consider itself to be a true Duuema clan. According to their oral histories, they originally hailed from the portion of Vethrala to the south, created by The Ones Above to serve as a neighbor and trading partner for the ancient Duuema civilization. Despite this, there are not many Abstuutha still out in the wilderness beyond those that reside in the farming villages. Most people within this clan reside in the city of Vouudakfel in a closed community that rarely interacts with the rest of the city or other clans. Due to their separation from the other clans within the city, they have developed their own distinct culture that further isolates them from the others. This is primarily due to the drastic difference in their languages, as the Abstuutha speak a language known as Ashtongue while the greater Duuema society speaks Duuemarj. While the languages are related at the root, they have branched too far apart in the modern age for either one to be comprehensible by speakers of the other language.
