	The '''~~Sudran~~''' were a race of people who populated the planet [[Sudra]] prior to the catastrophic effects of the [[Pathogen]]. No Sudrans are depicted visually in Axiom Verge aside from piles of bones found in [[Absu]] and [[Zi]] (from which we know they were bipedal and likely human-like in size and appearance), but their writings can be found in the form of [[Notes]], scattered around the explorable [[areas]], written in their own [[Sudran (Language)\|language]].		The '''Sudrans''' were a race of people who populated the planet [[Sudra]] prior to the catastrophic effects of the [[Pathogen]]. No Sudrans are depicted visually in [[Axiom Verge]] aside from piles of bones found in [[Absu]] and [[Zi]] (from which we know they were bipedal and likely human-like in size and appearance), but their writings can be found in the form of [[Notes]] scattered around the explorable [[areas]], written in their own [[Sudran (Language)\|language]].

	~~In their~~ ancient civilization, the Sudrans developed wondrous technologies such as the [[Rebirth Chamber\|Rebirth Chambers]], [[Breach~~]] Elevator & [[Breach Attractor~~]]. ~~This~~ time ~~period in their history~~ would later be known as [[The Land of Civilized Kings (Note)\|~~The~~ Land of Civilized Kings]].

			Sudran society descended from an ancient civilization capable of miraculous developments; the ancient Sudrans developed wondrous technologies such as the [[Rebirth Chamber\|Rebirth Chambers]] and mechanisms capable of traversing the [[Breach]]. The Sudra of this time would later be known as [[The Land of Civilized Kings (Note)\|the Land of Civilized Kings]]. However, they later had a sociological collapse, presumably caused by war<ref>As mentioned in [[Anonymous Quote (Note)]].</ref>, causing them to become xenophobic and superstitious of their own technology. Several of their old technologies were referred to as the Old Machines, and many of these would be feared- possibly with a religious element to it.

	=~~= Notable Sudrans ==~~		It's shown that the priesthood was very important to the Sudran people, and that the High Priestess- likely one of, if not the highest social status- was able to make decisions affecting all of Sudra, such as the decision to power on the [[Breach Attractor]] and surround the planet with Breach.<ref name="kuliltu">[[The Kuliltu (Note)]]</ref> Several High Priestesses are mentioned, [[Eshinimma\|High Priestess Eshinimma]] and an unnamed High Priestess who summoned the Breach. Kings are mentioned in Sudran writing<ref>[[Proverb (Note)]]</ref><ref>[[The Land of Civilized Kings (Note)]]</ref>, but it is not known if Sudra had a monarchy, or if the priesthood and monarchy overlapped. Sudra is described as a kingdom,<ref name="public">[[Public Notice (Note)]]</ref> but no kings are ever mentioned outside poetic idea. Part of Sudra's nobility contained Nins; priestesses or noble ladies.<ref>http://www.sumerian.org/sumcvc.htm</ref><ref>https://www.sumerian.org/sumerian.pdf</ref>. Known Nins are Nin Urunna and Nin Turri. It is implied Sudra's nobility- or perhaps simply the priesthood- was comprised solely of women, as all known noble roles are feminine ones.
	* [[Eshinimma\|Eshinimma (High Priestess)]]
	* Nin Urunna
	* Nin Turri

	~~== Speculation ==~~		The Sudrans had a deep, complex history with the Rusalki, who crossed through the Breach into Sudra. Resembling the Old Machines, the Rusalki were feared by the Sudrans. This prompted the High Priestess of the time to use the Breach Attractor and surround Sudra with Breach, contaminating the sky with it and rendering the Rusalki helpless. The Sudran priesthood then took custody of the Rusalki. It is likely that they did not treat the Rusalki with care, as evidenced by [[Oracca]]'s imprisonment underground<ref>''"Driven insane by long years of subterranean imprisonment, this once-formidable Rusalka wanders Sudra's large central cavern, restless and mute."'' -Oracca's [https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/332200-Oracca Steam Trading Card]</ref> and an unnamed Rusalka holding bitterness towards High Priestess Eshinimma.<ref name="the storm">[[The Storm (Note)]]</ref>. Some Sudrans, such as Nin Turri, recognized that the Rusalki likely hold grudges against the Sudrans, fearing what the Rusalki could do should they be released.<ref name="kuliltu"></ref>
	~~It is possible that the~~ Sudrans ~~are descended~~, ~~partially or fully~~, ~~from~~ the ~~[[Sagiga (People)\|Sagiga]]~~, the ~~native people~~ of ~~[[Kiengir]]~~. The ~~people~~ of ~~Kiengir traversed to what was formerly~~ [[~~Udug~~]] ~~land during the Udug War~~, ~~to a land they called Engur~~.<ref>[[~~Commemorative Speech~~ (Note)]]</ref> ~~The word engur refers to~~ the ~~primeval sea that dwells underneath Sumer in both Sumerian and Akkadian mythology~~, ~~however, it is mostly called Abzu- which bears a striking resemblance to~~ the ~~Sudran land of [[Absu]]~~. ~~Engur (ingame) is described as a great watery cavern, suiting Absu's description as being~~ "~~comprised of natural caverns~~"~~<ref~~>~~''The Art of Axiom Verge,'' page 6~~</ref> ~~and hosting much fungal life.~~

	Additionally, according to [[Mageshgetil]], several Wielders fled Kiengir and traversed the [[Breach]]- though unknown where to.<ref>[[Beware the Patternmind (Note)]]</ref>		When a [[Pathogen\|plague]] broke out on Sudra, the Sudrans attempted to escape, but were stopped by the Breach surrounding the planet. Trapped, they ordered people to stay away from public areas in order to try and minimize the spread.<ref>[[Security Notice (Note)]]</ref> As the plague worsened, the Rusalki tried negotiating with the priesthood, asking for access to the Old Machines and Rebirth Chambers.<ref name="the storm"></ref> Reluctantly<ref>[[Official Letter (Note)]]</ref>, the clergy allowed them access, accepting that they had no choice.<ref>[[From the High Priestess (Note)]]</ref> After most of the clergy died of plague, the remaining Sudrans fled while the Rusalki got to work reactivating the Old Machines.<ref name="public"></ref> This proved to be the end for the Sudrans, and they were wiped out.

			==Speculation==
			It is possible that the Sudrans are descended, partially or fully, from the [[Sagiga (People)\|Sagiga]], the native people of [[Kiengir]]. The people of Kiengir traversed to what was formerly [[Udug]] land during the Udug War, to a land they called Engur.<ref>[[Commemorative Speech (Note)]]</ref> The word engur refers to the primeval sea that dwells underneath Sumer in both Sumerian and Akkadian mythology<ref>Leick, D. G. (2002). [https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Dictionary_of_Ancient_Near_Eastern_Myt/c52EAgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 A Dictionary of Ancient Near Eastern Mythology. United Kingdom: Taylor & Francis].

Additionally, according to [[Mageshgetil]], several Wielders fled Kiengir after the [[Udug War]] and traversed the [[Breach]]- though it's unknown where to, or if they were successful at all.<ref>[[Beware the Patternmind (Note)]]</ref>

			Many elements of Sudran society are found on Kiengir, most notably the [[Rebirth Chamber\|Rebirth Chambers]], though this simply could be due to dwelling downstream of [[A'ansur]].
