Patuxey
As the Fey Crisis subsided, and the residents of T'sara tried to rebuild, the Patuxey tried to preserve the world that was lost, and fully understand the new world. In so doing, they created the first written language, the protean version of the Pathfinder Society, and more.
Naming Traditions
Family names
There was no known examples of family names in the Lost Age, nor was there in the early First Age. That said, the Patuxey may have been the first to begin the root of this tradition. In their attempts to document and preserve Lost Age history, individuals would give their names and the name or description of their pre-Crisis home, or names of lovers, parents, or children.
Culture
Major language groups and dialects
The Patuxey's greatest accomplishment is the form of linguistics. The created the first alphabet, and worked tirelessly to document the history of their newly formed people, and that of the Lost Age as a whole. This would be the structure on which all others would be based upon. The verbal association with this alphabet and language would be known as simply "Common-tongue" for this reason.
Ideals
Beauty Ideals
The Patuxey tried their best to preserve Lost Age views of beauty and sexuality, even as the harsh new world made that more difficult. Clothing, a new invention in the world disturbed by the Fey, was only to be worn when the environment and weather made it necessary. Otherwise, Patuxey emphasized nudity. In their minds, it symbolized the natural beauty of their beings, created by the Gods, and perhaps, a way to hold onto a tradition of a utopian past they could never return to.
The Patuxey were a short lived society. Later historians, following Patuxey goals, would say that the Patuxey had been so concerned with recording and preserving a forgotten past, that they failed to prepare the precariousness of the present. A combination of famine and disease in the area would cause the Patuxey to flee to more hospitable lands. With sovereignty being a much softer concept at this time, they were generally free to do so. As a result, nobody claims Patuxey heritage to this day, although have benefited from their contributions to post-Crisis society
