Religion
- Some weird religion for the Wiobians and Dapkhans
- Hlou-Ku paganism/polytheism
- A version of PIE paganism
- Òṃ is a Shumian god
- Rhythoed and Talman religions and parodies thereof
- The "Second Stopper"
People making up their own religions is commonplace
Cuisine
Historically, vegetarianism was more popular in Bjeheond among people who followed the Rhythoed culture (about 10% of them were vegetarian). The Hlou-Ku and Dapkhan people traditionally ate meat, but beef and pork were avoided. Fish was extremely common.
Notable figures
Note: Wiobian and Tsjoen names were originally surname-first. However, due to Rhythoed influence later names are surname-last.
