The Ky'târi (or Kytari) were a fisher-folk on the icy Gulf of Ûtum in the Far North of middle-Earth. They were a tall, fair people (legend said related to elves), living on the largest isle of the bay, Yalf Hurm (Land of the glass spires), and were almost the only race that had any contact with the rest of the world, as they both traveled and received traders, in a small amount but more then the others. They were descendants of the Lótani and the Khegra.

Notes[]
The origins of the Names of the various Easterling or Haradron cultures and the languages of the Men of the East and Haradrim Languages in Middle-earth Role Playing remain uncertain. Since the Free peoples of the Westlands possessed little knowledge of societies beyond the Sea of Rhûnaer or Umbar, many of the forms used in MERP appear to be exonyms constructed from Quenya and Sindarin elements dating back to the Silmarillion era. The most plausible origins of such names may lie in archaic Avarin, or in Adûnaic influences in the Southwest. Unless otherwise specified, such name forms in the NNCA have been adapted to archaic Avarin/Primitive Quendian.
