'''Uscri''' is a character from a tragic [[Rosharan]] poem written around seventeen hundred years before 1174.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
 
 
In the poem, after hearing that her lover had died, she drowned herself in the sea, although in reality he still lived and she had misunderstood the report.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}} In the following centuries, she was used as an example of acting without information, although over time it came to mean stupid. By modern times, it had become a rather obscure literary reference.
 
 
In 1174, [[Taravangian]] insulted [[Mrall]] by calling him Uscritic. The obscurity of the reference caused [[Adrotagia]] to realize that Taravangian had intentionally misrepresented his intelligence on that morning's test, so they would not place restrictions on him.
