Sudran (Race)

This page refers to the Sudran people. For the Sudran language, see Sudran (Language).

Description

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 language.

In their ancient civilization, the Sudrans developed wondrous technologies such as the Rebirth Chambers, Breach Elevator & Breach Attractor. This time period in their history would later be known as The Land of Civilized Kings. However, they later had a sociological collapse, presumably caused by war, became xenophobic and superstitious of the technology and with the eventual release of the Pathogen, their race would die out entirely.

Speculation

It is possible that the Sudrans are descended, partially or fully, from the 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. 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" and hosting much fungal life.

Additionally, according to Mageshgetil, several Wielders fled Kiengir and traversed the Breach- though unknown where to.
