The '''Ofot''' are one of the primary ethnic groups of [[Okrit]] and were the primary ethnic group of the [[Kingdom of Okso\|Okso Kingdoms]]. They hold historical and linguistic ties to the neighboring [[Amata]] & reside primarily in the provinces of Dakha Valley, Moklo, North Moklo, East River, & Okso Special Province.

	== History ==		== History ==
			The Ofot are a denomination of the Lowland Okritis residing entirely on Onomat. They constitute part of the 'eastern' subsection of the Lowlander ethno-linguistic grouping, along with the Amata. Initially, ancestral Ofot communities lived a pastoral semi-nomadic lifestyle, which would persist up until very recent times, however would adopt urbanization at various points due to the population increases from agricultural, technological and social development. Due to living adjacent to the highlands the ancestral Ofot were first lowlanders to make contact with the [[Ukubian Civilization\|Ukubians]], and are potentially responsible for introducing the idea of sedentary life to the originally nomadic, ancestral Ukubians. With this, they were the first Lowland peoples to be subjugated by the Ukubians with the expansion of their influence and with the eventual formation of the Ukubian Empire. The ancestors of the Ofot were those of the eastern lowlanders who were treated more favourably by the Ukubians while under their reign, due primarily to sustained contact and social interaction. The Ofot lived in the most well developed areas of the empire and saw the most benefit from Imperial expansion, forming the basis of imperial support amongst the common denominations, often filling administrative roles and facilitating communication between the ethnically lowlander peasantry and the ethnically highlander nobility. For this reason the Ofot most likely played a large role in the fracture and eventual fall of the Ukubian empire.
	The Ofot were the founding peoples of the powerful [[kingdom of Okso]], meaning 'Those born of the ancients' ('Ok' directly relating to the [[Ukubian Civilization\|Ukubian civilisation]]). Ofot literature flourished under Okso rule, the most notable of which being the [[Gimrani Matafar]], 'the catalogue of the great kings', often shortened to 'the Gimra'

			It was with the collapse of the Ukubian Empire that many rump states would emerge, with the Ofot inheriting the majority of the administrative, infrastructural and technological structures maintained by the empire. This imbued them with a unique cultural tradition that would continue to develop within the period of autonomous rule following the Ukubian collapse. The direct inheritance of Ukubian structures lended the newfound Ofot states legitimacy and prestige, which would lead to a period of stability and development that was unique amongst the lowlanders after the Ukubian Collapse. This period would go on to heavily influence Ofot culture as it developed, being the direct inspiration for the mythological [[Kingdom of Okso]] and other folklore that would make up the mythological cycle of the [[Gimra]].

	== Culture ==		== Culture ==
			The Ofot share many of the traits commonly found throughout the Okriti lowlander denominations, however have developed unique beliefs and traditions due to their historical relation to the Ukubian civilization and proximity to contemporary highlander peoples.
	The Gimra is a core part of Ofot culture, with many traditions and beliefs either being documented in or originating from it's many stories. The Gimra itself is a collection of poems and narratives, mainly framed around the origin of the Okso Kingdom, incorporating historical events & king-lists, as well as traditional beliefs and folk-lore.

	=== Folklore ===		=== Folklore ===
			A noteworthy aspect of Ofot culture is the foklore, which makes up a decent part of their oral and literary history and tradition.
	Various creatures are prominent in Ofot folklore at local and regional levels as documented in various records as well as the Gimrani Matafar. Such a figure is the 'Empty shirt man' who appears to future kings and great leaders. It is described as a floating head, who's lack of body is covered by a poncho. Also prominent in Ofot are the Batoso ('children of the mountains'), a race of cannibalistic giants often used as a bogey to scare children or as a template villain in various stories. The most well known of the Batoso is Amathopi, the firstborn of the mountains. Amathopi is described in the first book of the Gimra as being hunchbacked, bearded and long necked with various fantastical traits attributed to him, such as poison breath. Modern day scholars interpret Amathopi as a fossilized interpretation of the highland clans subjugated in Ukubian conquests prior to the establishment of the Okso kingdom.
