Peter said a week of so ago
>Buserian is not Yuthu. Yuthu is confined to Yuthuppa as a City
>God of sorts whereas Buserium's minions are spread far and wide
>throughout the Empire.

        Peter is quite right that Buserium is not Yuthu. Greg has confirmed to me (and told me to pass it on) that Yuthu is a title of Anaxial.

        Background for this is that the History of the Lunar Empire refers to Yuthu as the city god of Yuthuppa, but he isn't really mentioned anywhere else. The word Yuthu is a Dara Happan word meaning 'God' (as in Yuthuppa - gods boat, and Yuthubars - gods city), so its a title not a name. Its how Yuthuppans refer to Anaxial, the legendary founder of their city, and the Emperor who saved Dara Happa in the great flood.
