The Yosurd Clan

History Behind Yosurds

Yosurds in Brothilans means ancient or old. The yosurds were not interested in anything except for the information. Every Yosurd remembers everything he did in his life span. But then they do not pass the information to anybody as they believe any information they have is their property and no tress passing is allowed in the information. The earlier generation of the Yosurds were very selfish and did not believe in the concept of sharing and enjoying. They kept their information secret and to themselves. Even if they by any means got to know something about another person in their clan they would never say it to another soul. So the most powerful of the Yosurd was the one who had the most information about the whole clan and generally he was the oldest. The man who had all the information was called the Pontro. The Pontro was the king because he knew some thing or the other about everybody in the clan. As soon as the Pontro is elected through a very tough competition which is only preceded by the earlier Pronto and the contestants individually he/she has to capture every record in his memory on paper and store it in the archives of the Yosurds called the Kalshi - The holder of information. The Kalshi was again a mythical place as only the Pronto were aware of it and since every Yosurd always swears to secrecy the Pronto never mentioned about it to anybody. The Pronto after making the records in the Kalshi lives the life of a hermit with all the luxuries one can get. He lives in a palace with all luxuries paid for by the people. This is done because the Pronto always had to be kept happy because he had the information about most of the people of the clan. Though the life span of the Pronto is very small because to gather the most information than any other person of the clan the he/she should be really old as any youth or a normal Yosurd would have the same information as any other Yosurd. But some of the oldest Yosurds would have a lot of information about any body. The Pronto is also respected a lot because not every Yosurd is able to live very long and gather as much information. The life span of a normal Yosurd is around 40 - 50 years but a Pronto lives for much longer (average life span of a pronto is 65 years).

The Yosurds, as said earlier, were secluded from the rest of the galaxy. They did not ever try to make contact with the rest of the galaxy either. When the first Brothilans meeting was set up the Yosurds were invited. They were the only clan to have been invited to the meeting. The Yosurds at first rejected the invitation as they did not take interest in anybody. But then on repeated requests from the Brothilans committee the Yosurds accepted. But they could not send the Pronto because of his age and also because the Pronto was a far valuable person to be sent for the meeting. For this purpose the Pronto asked for another election where the representative of the Yosurd Clan for the First meeting would be decided. The criteria was that the person would have the least information and he would be dedicated towards working for the Governing Body. The difficulty of selecting such a person was very tough as there was no lower limit for knowledge or information. For this they tried to have an age group. As they knew from experience the information of the clan increases by age. So for the meeting they sent a group of 5 year old. The Brothilans considered this as a joke and asked the yosurds to reconsider the delegation. The Yosurds though were serious about this and hence the Brothilans got its new Yosurd representative in the form of a 5 year old. The Yosurds did not ask for any position but were the head of the archives at the Brothilans and recorded every moment at the First Meeting. After the meeting the committee again requested the Yosurds to send more 5 year old for the governing body as in one for each clan. The Yosurds were confused as they did not have many 5 year old. The Pronto decided on sending any 5 years old for the governing body from henceforth. Thus the Yosurds became the official record holders of the Brothilans.

The chances of the head of the archives at the brothilans to become the Pronto was very less as the people of Brothilans did not respect them very much as they had nothing to fear from the Uster, which meant other in general English. When all the clans were covered in the Brothilans the groups were stopped and only on request was there a new Uster formed in Yosurd.

The people:

As said the people of Brothilans were very secretive and did not divulge in any information they had. The Uster were however different as their main purpose was to share any information as and when required by the Governing body. At the tender age of 5 the mind of the Yosurd does not know much and is generally referred to as the coming of age. After this a Yosurd changes his preferences of secrecy.

The Yosurds are lean and fragile. They do not have much mass but the lower portion of their body appears bulky. But since they do not weigh much it cannot be called bulky just sagging. They do not enjoy any sports and are not after any monetary compensation for the information they possessed. A Yosurd takes pride in the information he has about anything.

The Uster were the information holders for the Governing Body but getting information out of them was also very difficult. To make this simpler the Governing Body gave a secret code to every clan representative to only ask for the Uster assigned to them. Only on the acceptance of the secret code would the Uster share the information. If the secret code was given to the Uster by any other person other than the person it was assigned to then the Uster would not share any information and report a breach to the Governing body who would take the necessary action.

Lifestyle:

There is a lot of difference in the living of the Yosurd and that of the Uster. The Yosurds are just farmers with a lot of information about their own clan and the people around them whereas the Usters were people who had very little information about their own clan but had a lot of information about the clan whose responsibility was bestowed upon them. And also the Usters were luxurious and had all the privileges in the world as the clan whose information was with the particular Uster had to maintain a healthy relationship with them. The Yosurds remained in their own planet but the Usters were given the option to stay either with the Governing Body or with the Clan whose information they had.

The Yosurds on the whole including the Usters did not though crave for money. The clans itself treated them with a lot of respect. Their basic aim was to gain as much information as possible.

The Yosurds never betrayed anyone on purpose and those in the Governing Body would never leak out a secret even by mistake as it relates to a clan and they understood the importance.

Food & Language:

The Yosurds ate anything and everything. They did not differentiate between food. All they needed to know was that the thing was edible. The Usters had to be careful because they could be bribed into giving information. The Yosurds were strong willed and if they noticed that the act was to leak out information they would not delve out anything even if they were tortured. But then food was a real passion among the Yosurds.

The Language of the Yosurds was Lantur. They spoke only lantur throughout their planet. The Usters also had to master another language, that of their clan, for easier conversation. When the translator would not work the Usters were to translate for the Clans Representatives but that was only when Brothilinia was not spoken.
