History
The Lemurians are a branch of Homo mermanus that migrated to the Pacific Ocean and settled in the ruins of the Deviant city of Lemuria ages after it was sank by the Celestials.
The Lemurians were set apart from their Atlantic relations by the discovery or development of the Serpent Crown, an artifact of ancient power that places the user in mystic contact with Set, an snakelike elder demon. Veneration of this crown and its use in rulership have made the Lemurians' skin greenish and scaly. It has also given them a greater potential to wield magic.
Lemuria is one of the oldest surviving civilizations.
Lemuria was apparently the only continent where modern man dwelt half a million years ago.
During the Pre-Cataclysmic Age (from about 100,000 until the Great Cataclysm), Lemuria remained one of the great continents of its era, and was ruled mostly by the Deviants and their human slaves.
After the Great Cataclysm, Lemuria was partly retrofitted by the Deviants, while other parts later became the home of the underwater race known as the Lemurians. Lemuria was founded by a splinter group of Homo mermanus who made their way to the Pacific Ocean, whereas Atlantis had been in the Atlantic.
Lemurians (Homo mermanus)
In time, the ruins of the original Atlantis were found by a member of the Homo mermanus race also named Kamuu. Kamuu and his wife, Zartra, founded the underwater city of Atlantis from the ruins of old Atlantis. Those Atlanteans took the Olympian god Neptune as their patron.
Within less than five centuries (between 5,800 to 5,300 BC) after the victory of the Atlanteans over the rule of the Unforgiven Dead, a faction emerged among the water-breathing Atlanteans, worshiping the Elder God, Set. They abandoned Atlantis to colonize the remnants of Lemuria, unclaimed, in the Pacific Ocean and founded their city of Lemuria. In the 15th century, Naga began his rule over the Homo mermanus kingdom of Lemuria and claimed the Serpent Crown, causing the beginning of the Lemurians' transformation, granting some of them scales and/or green skin.
