Udma Shalmu

Udma Shalmu (IGN BasicSchutze), born in a tribe, would find themselves introduced to the greater world of Rathnir upon being separated from their people after an unknown event, whether it was by his own choice, exile, hard times or even possible a rival tribe isn’t known for certain.

Early Life
Although not much is known of his life with his tribe, he recounts mostly positive memories of them, with many seeming to make him sad when asked about them. Due to his relatively positive opinions of his life with fellow Valanposi, it’s assumed Udma didn’t leave by choice, instead being forced to by certain circumstances which he refuses to speak of. However, he does speak of some of his family, whom were known as the Shalmu family, a relatively small, yet tight-knit family of the Valanposi tribes.

After Separation
Udma despises the memories of what happened after his separation. From what is told, he would spend much of his time hungry, thirsty, uncomfortable and lonely. During these times, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume he felt as if some of the Valanposi spirits were playing a cruel joke upon him, making him suffer through terrible conditions for their entertainment. During this, he begun to lose hope, questioning his situation oftentimes while in the wilderness. He’d live like this for a few years until he’d stumble upon a fisherman, then a civilization and later, learn about the rest of Rathnir.

Meeting a Fisherman
After much time of wandering, he’d stumble upon a fisherman who welcomed him to his place. He’d be given food and helped by them to make their own place. Due to this, it would also eventually cause Udma to have a more positive outlook on life, showing more gratitude to whatever he’d get, more so than what he would’ve done in the past. As well, he’d also become more giving, feeling as if it was the right thing to do from his standpoint.

Integration into Akratia
Udma stumbled upon Akratia after near conflict with them, having settled within their territory.
