Cecrops (pronounced KEK-rops) was the semi-mythical founder of Kyamita. Supposedly, Cecrops sought to find a way to join the land-dwelling and sea-dwelling peoples of the Sea of Ersas, so that each could learn from the other. Eventually he discovered the Kyamitian lagoon and established a city there, as peoples of the land and water could both be comfortable and in their element. Some claim this to be a factual story, while others say it is merely a pleasant if fictional way to explain the city's culture of inclusivity and education.
