The Khotoi or Khotoi Culture (sometimes known as the Proto-Syarans) were the predecessors of the ancient tribes of Syara, arriving sometime between 3,000-2,000 BCE. They originally settled across north-west Siduri west of the Kurilla Mountains, before moving further west into the Makedonian Highlands and the Galanian Valley. The Khotoi dispersed across Syara over the centuries forming a number of larger, overarching tribes. They displaced, absorbed, and partially eradicated the older Segelen culture, the original inhabitants of Syara, between the 2nd and 1st Millennia BCE. The Bronze Age Collapse saw the destruction of many Khotoi-descended tribes, leaving only the Aleitians, the Gaetlii, and the Dovossians, who proceeded to settle Makedon, Galania, and Scitaria respectively.

The Khotoi were originally members of the Erani-Eracurans, theough the exact date of their divergenceis lost to history. They most likely split off from the same original group that produced the Erani and Hayren, with the Khotoi and Hayren likely having remained together longer before splitting up based on similar linguistical traits.
