History
Before 18,000 BCE, Lemuria was a large continent in the Pacific whose islands were controlled by pirates. An Atlantean named Kull was enslaved by Lemurian pirates and forced to work as a gladiator, where he faced a Wolf Man. Forging an alliance with that Wolf Man, he later slew the wizard Rotath for the Lemurian monarch Asphodel IV.
Eventually, the Deviants took control of Lemuria. Queen Zartra fled to Atlantis to marry its monarch, Kammuu. She was slain shortly before the Great Cataclysm that sunk Lemuria, caused by the Celestials' bombing of Earth.
Not all of Lemuria sank. Some islands, as confirmed by Pictish oral tradition, seem to have survived, and were the home of the sorcerer Thulandru Thuu. Possibly, these islands were the location of Yamatai, a civilization that resembled the later society of Japan in its feudal period.
Other Lemurians survived by fleeing to the Asian mainland, where they were enslaved by an unnamed society. Eventually, they rebelled, drove away their masters, and set up the nation of Khitai (ancestors of the Chinese), where they worshipped deities such as Tao-Lao, Cheng-Ho, Shou-Lao, and Lei-Kung. (They must also have come into contact with K'un L'un, the society of aliens with similarly named denizens.)
Other Lemurian-descended societies include the Turanians and Hyrkanians, the latter of whom served as the ancestors of the Mongols and Turks. Evidently, many Lemurians fleeing the Deviants wound up in the Savage Land, which has a society called the Lemurians.
