Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
The religion of the Natuu is more of a philosophy, way of life and moral code than other religions. While they have deities, they are representative of ideas, rather than actual spiritual beings. There are many deities representing, nature, war, “brotherly” love, erotic love, wisdom, charity, etc. Natuu temples served both ceremonial and academic functions and were generally dedicated to one or more of these deities.
The Kahlian religion of the current-day Meldenianss, is based on the Natuu religion, with the goddess Kahlia being an amalgam of several of the Natuu deities.
History
The Natuu civilization was known as Katha. It consisted of a Federation of three partially sovereign states, overseen by the Central Council of Bathna.
Katha was an advanced civilization with well developed technology, engineering, science, medicine and philosophy. The main focus of Natuu civilization was advancement in these disciplines and they had a strong sense of “higher purpose”.
The other dominant race on Orballia at this time were the Kroll, a nation of nomadic tribes, waging constant war on the Natuu. The Natuu – Kroll wars lasted for centuries, ultimately resulting in the near extinction of both races, eventually allowing humans to rise to become the dominant species on Orballia.
The remaining Natuu formed a secret underground order, based on the original Natuu culture. This order, driven by their culture of advancement and higher purpose, dedicated themselves to the protection of Orballia and the fledgling human race.
Historical Figures
Darklor (as he is currently known by legends and the local villagers of Bathna) was the greatest Natuu scientist and still lives in modern times through use of the Aeonian Chamber technology.

Archaeological and Historical Evidence
Most of the ruins and ancient artifacts found on Orballia are of Natuu origin. Many Natuu cities still exist as ruins. Additionally several human cities rose out of Natuu cities long ago. Threads of the Natuu civilization are woven into the history and customs of the humans, though knowledge of their origins have mostly been lost to time.
