About Amesur
Seed-ships, or Arks, are sentient ships meant to locate and land on habitable planets and seed them with Terran life. Some Arks contained humans, others contained genetically modified language-capable monkeys, and others harbored the domesticated species of Earth.
This language is the one used by the elusive First Seed, a ship that landed on the planet 80,000 years ago. The ship released and raised a population of genetically modified monkeys. It taught them language, writing, art, agriculture, math, astronomy, and, architecture. The First Seed encouraged building structures known as "hjusirua" or "hollow cities", as well as encouraging the clearing of forests and fast population growth.
The population grew quickly, from around 1000 to 10000 within 30 years. The language did not change in this time, however, as the First Seed demanded that every newborn be brought to them; the First Seed taught every child how to speak, read, and write for the first 8 years of their life, before releasing them back to their parents in a formal ceremony.
This society collapsed very shortly after it formed, only around 100 years after its formation. The people would survive, but the cultural memories of a metal creator would fade or morph into something unrecognisable.
Please tell me if you hate the flag lol, I still don't know if I like it but I'm hardly able to make anything much better.
