Lemu

The Lemu are a species of Primates inhabiting the island of Simoto in Southern Meridian. The only intelligent species on Simoto, the Lemu have no natural predators on their island and have greatly benefitted from this in their evolution. However, despite being the islands only species, the Lemu seem to have barely advanced beyond a Tier 4 species. This is thought to be a consequence to the island having only a single Habitat, making technological development on an island with scarce resources difficult.

Only a handful of encounters with the Limu and Simoto have been recorded. Aside from accounts of Simoto and its inhabitants from Rek-Thalarri sailors, Anurians once visited the island while attempting to map Meridian. A small group was sent to the island on a row boat, first seeing the Lemu as they made landfall. The expeditions leader described the Lemu as curious, watching his group for their entire stay. Attempts to get close or communicate ended in the Lemu backing away. It was also noted that Anur without Human technology could get closer than those with it, suggest a fear (or possibly disdain) of technology.

It's thought that the Lemu live a peaceful coexistence on Simoto. The Anurians claimed to have seen continuous buildings from their landing point to the far mountains towards the island center, suggesting that the island could be densely populated. Because of the remoteness of Simoto, further exploration of the island has yet to occur.
