Verse:Hmøøh/Txapoalli

Txapoalli is a continent in Tricin. It contains (at least) two cultural regions, which are quite different:

• Naquosphere
• Sjowaazhosphere

Languages

• Naquic
  • Naquian
    • Tizian
• Quihum
  • Sjowaazheñ
    • Modern Sjowaazhic languages
• Ancient Tzaloxian
• Trây

Music

Naquosphere

Uses 7-tone neutral third scale subsets of 27edo

Sjowaazhosphere

Tuning-wise, Sjowaazheñ music is based on the meantone diatonic scale like Western music, but uses modal rather than tonal harmony. What about other aspects?

Historical figures

• Quēhtłoyoz - Naquian grammarian
• Huichaltzah - Naquian explorer, conlanger and playwright
• Wañjeyi - Sjowaazheñ poet
• Mauaz nah Païxa - Tzaloxian explorer

Religion

Naquian

Early polytheism turns into sci-fi - but then what?

Sjowaazheñ

Jotting down ideas

Sjowaazheñ religion is Basically Buddhism but more proselytizing. They apply the concept of karma and reincarnation to the world collectively in addition to individual humans. That's how the world itself began and ended many times; if humanity collectively behaves badly enough, an apocalypse will come due to the accrued karmic debt and a new universe will arise from the ashes. [I'm not going to use exactly these terms - it's not exactly a "relex" of Buddhism.]

Karma/sin and payoffs - The genius of Christianity is to subvert this (in a really twisted way, perhaps)

Places

• Tuipa-Faäni/Uānithazza - capital of Naquian Empire
