Prumathe (pronounced proo-MAH-thee) is a Mamurat settlement on the Ucrisla Tidewall. The settlement is less of a permanent town and more of a camp where nomadic bands of the elves stop to rest, share news and supplies, and engage in social and religious ceremonies before departing once again. Between its location on the eastern side of the Tidewall on a particularly wide barrier island and the concreted sand walls around the camp, Prumathe is quite well protected from the storm surges that affect the Tidewall in times of inclement weather. In particularly rough conditions the population of the settlement swells as bands from across the Tidewall return for protection until such time as it is safe to venture out again.
Curiously, scholars in Hinthial, Sharruma, and in Yarma's House of Treasure have all identified Prumathe as the name of an elven aerolith, one of the first built and set aloft. It is unknown how the settlement and the aerolith are connected, or if the names are mere coincidence. Attempts to investigate have been stymied by the ongoing wariness, if not hostility, of the Mamurat towards outsiders. While scholars from elsewhere have found unusually large amounts of refined ansharite on the island upon which Prumathe is located, the elves refuse all entry to the settlement itself, viewing it almost as a sacred place where outsiders cannot be trusted to tread.
