History Literature / TheUutakMythos

* {{Authority Equals Asskicking}}: Echmer in senior positions, no matter age or occupation, are often far more skilled than those that work underneath them.

* {{Clock Punk}}/{{Steam Punk}}: Their technology utilizes aspects of both of these styles and makes them even more unique by adding in literal sound/music elements into the mix.

* BeeAfraid: Burrow Wasps, which are highly aggressive blue/green bees whose stingers contain a paralyzing poison.

* [[https://en.uesp.net/wiki/General:Uutak_Mythos/ The UESP article on the Mythos]] gives some information about its development and origins, as well as an overview of the project's lore.

* PortTown: Port White-Gold, constructed during Emperor Uriel V's occupation of the islands. It now sits abandoned but remarkably well preserved.

* ServantRace: Initially, to the Dwemer.

** Solarite: A light, glassy, silvery metal which forms only in areas where sunlight is in "unnatural abundance." The Echmer refer to it as the "tears of the sun" and have perfected crafting into weapons and armor which rival ebony, an ''Elder Scrolls'' series staple of high quality mineral, in effectiveness.

* {{Early Installment Weirdness}}: Most of the first Uutak Mythos texts are this. Most of them have either been {{Retcon}}ned away or adapted into later use.
* {{Expanded Universe}}: In a sense. It deals with a small pocket of ''The Elder Scrolls'' Expanded Universe (which includes the games, novels, comics, out-of-game texts, and official supplementary material) in the form of the island of Yneslea, an actual place confirmed to exist in the background lore.

There are four main websites were one can find texts dealing with the Uutak Mythos:

* [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Echmer/ /r/Echmer]] on reddit was the original planned home for the Uutak project, but has been abandoned. Some texts can still be found here, however.

* [[http://uutak.wikia.com/wiki/Uutak_Wiki The Uutak Wiki]] is the official site for the Uutak Mythos, but is still a work in progress.

* [[https://en.uesp.net/wiki/General:Uutak_Mythos/ https://en.uesp.net/wiki/General:Uutak_Mythos ]] is an article regarding the Mythos on the UESP, the oldest and most respected Elder Scrolls wiki.

It can be described as a type {{Fanon}}, but in reality is more of a massive world-building project built around the mysterious island of [[http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Yneslea Yneslea]] (transformed into an archipelago by the project) in the background lore of the games, which has yet to be expanded upon by the developers as of yet. It expands upon and adds lore to Yneslea, specifically adding two new races that inhabit the islands:
* The Echmer, a race of {{Nay Theist}}ic beastfolk resembling bat elves with a {{Steampunk}} society containing {{Mecha Mooks}} and other advance (but not too advance) technology unlike the devices found in Tamriel. They were accidentally created by the Dwemer and share many of their ideals and customs. The majority of Uutak Mythos deals with their history, people, and interactions with the universe at large.

* [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Echmer/ /r/Echmer]] on reddit was the original planned home for the Uutak Project, but has been abandoned. Some texts can still be found here however.
* [[http://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/ /r/teslore]] on reddit, the main hub of the creator [=IceFireWarden=], is the 'unofficial' main place where one can find anything dealing with the Uutak Project. All you have to do is search for things relating to it in the searchbar.

* {{Badass}}: The entire race is this for various reasons.
** {{Badass Army}}: They have one of the strongest fighting forces on the face of Nirn. They were able to defeat much of their opposition – both foreign and domestic – for over a thousand years until the Twelvemonth War with the Tamrielics, where they finally found a {{Worthy Opponent}}.
** {{Badass Normal}}: Because of their strong dislike for magicka, nearly the entirety of the Echmer race (especially the military) have to be this.
** {{Badass Bookworm}}: Echmer spend most of their lives studying the laws of physics. They then spend the rest of their lives using what they studied to rewrite said laws of physics just for fun and have on several occasions.
** {{Empowered Badass Normal}}: However, despite the above about the Echmer disliking anything dealing with the arcane, the unique Echmer mages of Mustikos’arcere and the renowned Echmeri acoustineers (who use Echolalia Fantasia, a variant of tonal architecture which in itself is a type of reality warping sound magic) are definitely this.

The Uutak (pronounced ''you talk'') Mythos is a collaborative writing and drawing community project set within the universe of ''{{The Elder Scrolls}}'' series of videogames. It was originally created by [= IceFireWarden=], a member of ''The Elder Scrolls'' lore community, but has been added to by several notable and fantastic individuals since its conception.

** Dweech Echmer live underground in the Dweech (a gigantic cavern system that runs underneath the whole of the Ynesleaic archipelago) in vast mechanical cities they call Urbs and are much more technological than their aboveground brethren. Their lifestyle and customs combine aspects of Babylonian, Mediterranean, Arabic, and German cultures together.

** Solarite: A light, glassy, silvery metal which forms only in areas where sunlight is in "unnatural abundance." The Echmer refer to it as the "tears of the sun" and have perfected crafting into weapons and armor which rival ''Elder Scrolls' series staple ebony in performance.

** Exul Echmer live on the surface of the islands in the archipelago in more primitive villages and have farming, hunting, and fishing oriented lifestyles but still have access to the technology of their belowground brethren. Their customs are influenced by Gypsy, Chinese, Indian (actual), and Greek cultural aspects.

• Animal Motifs: Bats of course.
• Arch-Enemy: The Kamal of Akavir, who attempt to annex the Ynesleaic archipelago into their kingdom every few years or so. The Echmer have kicked their collective ass time and time again, however.
