Naama Uyataga (also known as Fevor Praté Tungar) was a Dama historian, diplomat, and author who served as the Kingdom of Asidama's first ambassador to Ventora following the end of its isolation. He described Ventora in his eponymous book Ventora, which exists as perhaps the first modern account of a foreign land outside Skephon or Osamia written by a Dama author.

Naama Uyataga was born in the city of Yan in the spring of 1664, in the thirty-second year of the reign of King Sagainuuci I. At the time, Yan did not serve as the royal capital, which lay at Angadu to the coastal southeast. However, Yan was already a major port city at this time, and would serve as the anchorage of the renovated Dama fleet during the reign of King Icinagi III in 1674. Uyataga's family, including an older and younger sister, lived in the southern quarter of the city. Uyataga's branch of the Naama family were related to those who had passed state examinations and joined the city's local gentry, putting them in a fairly prosperous position. However, Uyataga's father, Naama Maasikumui, had been orphaned at age five and had seen most of his inheritance lost to scheming relatives and pirate raids. (See More...)
