<p>They may be colonists in the sense of random settlers in
another country, like ex-pats. But not in the sense of a
imperialistic colonization scheme such as in Cerberus. There
is I believe no indication that the autarch is subjected to
the kakogens which would have pointed to a foreign power
ruling. A foreign power ruling indigenous elites is a sure
sign of colonization, like the Dutch East Indies.<br>
<br>
By the way. Yesterday I read in a piece about Lovecraft that
Urth means 'fate' and also 'turn' or 'bend' in Old Norse.
The word 'weird' is derived from it. I was always thinking
'urth' was a simple bastardization of earth. Anybody knew
this? It was a surprise to me. Fate and the turning of deep
time.</p>

Rather it strikes me that Abaia's undines are indeed colonists, or among
them. It's not clear if they are beings who have swum here across space,
or Urthly humans who were given such power with their collossal size.
