 Because [[Suu]]’s actions went against the will of Aspan, it has been naturally assumed that Suu took it upon himself to further distribute the memes, not just among the people of the Caliphate of [[Ontustik]], who are effectively born Aspanist, but to people across Otan.
-Four of the Memes had turned up in Aydahar.  One ended up in the hands of the Eldest of Aydahar, the supreme leader of the [[Aydahar Confederation]].  Another ended up in the hands of the clergy in [[Kara]], down in southern Aydahar territory.  The last two had fallen into the hands of himself and his brother Turar.

 This turn of events was very unlikely.  The [[Aydahar]] were as distant from the human race as any sapient race on Otan.  They were specifically the comingling of human and dragon bloodlines.  It was possible, though rare, for the seed of a dragon to infect a ripe ovum of a human female.  The resulting birth would naturally be a creature from a mother’s nightmares, had that mother never met an Aydahar.

 At least a dozen known variants of the Aydahar race came into being on Otan, most of which are identified by the nature of their draconic ancestors.   Turar and Ongar were of the Kizil variety, bipedal with reddish skin and lizard-like snouts.  They featured clawed hands and feet with scales down their backs, on their faces, hands, and feet.  They also had tails, which were not of a prehensile nature, but rather an aid for flying, for those few Aydahar with enough dragon blood to sprout wings.

+A couple of months earlier, Ongar and his brother had each come into possession of one of the [[Memes of Aspan]], the holy relics of the [[Aspanism|Aspanist]] religion.  These Memes were said to have been safely in possession of the Aspanist clergy in the capitol ziggurat in the grand city of [[Anar]].  As legend has it, the Memes were perhaps the most safely guarded relics on all of Otan.
 When the Great Erasure came, more than fifty of the set of sixty-four relics had gone missing.  Not a soul in Otan seems to know how it happened.  Speculators point a finger at the Aspan god Suu, who according to legend had delivered the Memes to the First Lotus or Aspan just over two centuries ago.

 His gear all unpacked in the cave he lay down to sleep through the day.  He would follow the Eldest’s advice and conduct himself as the scorpion, working and traveling by night.  When the day subsided he woke and set to work.
 To summon a shadow beast from the nether world had become easy for Ongar.  A few waves of his hand and the subtlest utterance of a curse was all it took.  The beast would appear large, translucent, and in a terrible mood.  “Why me?” They always seemed to say.
