Nerek

 

A people subjugated by the Letherii

 

'The Nerek buried their dead beneath flat stones. At least, they used to before the king's edict forced them to embrace the faith of the holds'..... 'Now they leave the bodies of their kin where they fall. Even unto abandoning their huts (MT UK mmpb, p.73)

 

'The villages had lost all distinction, merging together in chaotic, dispirited confusion. Every third or fourth hut had been let to ruin, makeshift sepulchres for kind that had died of disease, old age, or too much alcohol, white nectar or durhang. Children wandered untended, trailed by feral rock rats...' (MT UK mmpb, p.73)

 

'The Nerek people were destroyed, and from that pit there would be no climbing out. Their homeland was an overgrown cemetery, and the Letherii cities promised only debt and dissolution. They were granted no sympathy.' (MT UK mmpb, p.73)

 

Hull Beddict:‘Their name is mentioned in the annals of the First Landings...They are the indigenous people whose territory spanned the entire south. There were Nerek watching the first ships approach. Nerek who came to greet the first Letherii to set foot on this continent. Nerek who traded, taught the colonizers how to live in this land, gave them the medicines against the heat fevers. They have been here a long, long time. Two languages? I’m surprised there aren’t a thousand.’(MT, UK Trade, p.193)

 

Nerek beliefs

 

Hull Beddict:'That they were all born of a single mother, countless generations past, who was the thief of fire and walked through time, seeking that which might answer a need that consumed her – although she could never discover the nature of that need. One time, in her journey, she took within her a sacred seed, and so gave birth to a girl-child. To all outward appearances...that child was little different from her mother, for the sacredness was hidden, and so it remains hidden to this day. Within the Nerek, who are the offspring of that child...it is the female line that is taken as purest...she (the single mother) is known by a number of related names, also suggesting variations of a single person. Eres, N’eres, Eres’al.’ '(MT, UK Trade, p.193-4)

 

Brys beddict: 'The Nerek fear it (the ocean) as their netherworld, a place where drowning is eternal, a fate awaiting betrayers and murderers.’(MT, UK Trade, p.160)

 

 

Nerek Clans

 

'the Clan known as the Owl.'(MT, UK Trade, p.176)
