Tricin (English: /ˈtrɪsin/ TRIS-in; Skellan: a Smøøh; Clofabosin: tricin /tɾikin/ 'world'; Windermere: Sngeaf; Swuntsim: Ξəp /tɬəp/) is an Earth-like planet orbiting a G-type main sequence star, called a hond in Skellan, grian in Clofabosin, and fi nieth in Windermere, in the Rytsofzyláð Galaxy.

Tricin is a collaborative conworld setting originally created by User:IlL. User:Praimhín has also contributed greatly.

Some loose guidelines

  • In general, conlangs and names should avoid words that sound like
    • racial etc. slurs
    • profanities in common Earth languages
    • names of infamously destructive hurricanes (e.g. "Katrina" or "Harvey")
  • When creating a Trician character, you can give them multiple interests (like, say, mathematician and composer) but generally you should give them at most one field to be major or famous in, especially if the character is contemporary.

Todo

  • Explore cultural contact and conflict.
  • Explore "scattered communities with local laws" ideas for political systems
  • Need literature people in the workgroup
  • Find a domain to host a dedicated wiki on

Trician religions

Religions can be grouped by the dominant narrative in each:

  • loosely savior myth (christianity, pure land buddhism)
  • loosely buddhist (buddhism as explained in the west, hasidic judaism)
  • pagan or folk religion
  • loosely dharmic (hinduism, judaism)
  • modern religions: society and how to fix it (feminism, marxism, nrx, transhumanism)

Star system

TODO: Redo Talman planet names

Planet names in Clofabosin:

  • Faxid - terrestrial
  • Smøøh - terrestrial
    • Satellite: Søøm
  • Ałoð - terrestrial
  • Fizjort - super-Earth
  • Xeñih - gas giant
  • Dazjofwñð - gas giant
  • Çifazj - ice giant

The largest planet is Xeñih and the smallest is Ałoð.

Planetary characteristics

1 Trician year = 357.0806527870906 Trician days

1 Trician day ~ 24 Earth hours

A Trician day is divided into 5040 units, each of which is divided into 5040 smaller units.

357 days = 51 7-day weeks

Atmosphere and atmospheric pressure: Earth-like

Continents

The countries of the Bitaleta (Talma, Etalocin, and Bjeheond) area

27% of Tricin's surface is land (i.e. not covered by water).

Continents (Areas are ballpark estimates):

  • Eta-Talma (Skellan: Eþa-Talma): Spreads north to south, about 20% of the land
    • Talma (Skellan: Talma): Northern, temperate region
    • Etalocin (Skellan: Eþa): Southern, tropical region
  • Bjeheond (Skellan: Ogxóoñ): about 10% of the land, temperate
  • Txapoalli (Skellan: Nyçís) : about 30% of the land, climate varies widely
  • Cualuav (Skellan: Cualuav): 30%, climate varies widely
  • Arctica: 10%

Other areas:

The Bitaleta (Bjeheond, Etalocin and Talma) area is often called the "North" or similar in Trician languages.

TODO: Residual and spread zones within each continent.

Calendar

The following describes the Talman calendar, which is now a global standard across Tricin.

Year 0 marks the founding of the Windermere Empire. Negative years are written with a minus sign.

Months in Clofabosin:

  • rufiporfin
  • talaporfin
  • uneporfin
  • verteporfin
  • rostaporfin
  • exeporfin
  • avidoporfin
  • temoporfin
  • padeliporfin
  • padoporfin
  • stannsoporfin
  • lemuteporfin

A seven-day week is used. The names of the days of the week in Clofabosin are:

  • domorelin
  • remorelin
  • mimorelin
  • famorelin
  • solmorelin
  • lamorelin
  • timorelin

The current Trician year is fT 1392.

A lunar month is 31.073665 Trician days long; a solar year is 360.147044 Trician days long. Twelve lunar months are 372.88398 days, which exceeds the solar year by 12.736936 days. Hence Trician lunisolar calendars remove a month once every 2 or 3 years.

Major oceans and seas

Tectonic plates

Major plates:

  • one big oceanic plate
  • Talman plate
  • Etalocian plate
  • Bjeheondian plate
  • two to three Txapoallian plates
  • one Cualuavian plate
  • two to four minor oceanic plates
  • one Arctican plate

Time zones

Constellations

Natural resources

Fossil fuels are less abundant than on Earth, which has forced Tricians to rely on nuclear energy. [also slowed down tech progress, but Trician civilization also grew more sustainably than Earth civilization] (?)

Prehistory

Behaviorally modern humans emerged in Southern Etalocin.

Music

The Trician musical traditions could be classified roughly as follows. (See individual subpages for more info.)

  • meantone (penta or diatonic; I-vi-ii-V-I important): clofabian
  • sharp 5ths tunings (optimizing for septimal intervals; like 17edo and 22edo): dodellian
  • just intonation (mostly overtone or undertone series based, some esoteric ones like combination product sets) or quasi ji edos: trad. talman, bjeheondian, popular fyxoom
  • ajnas (tetra or pentachords): sowaar
  • equal div of 5th: naquosphere
  • scales good for inharmonic timbres (slendro and pelog and quasi 7edo): onishia
  • small edos good for weird consonances: modern experimental

Modern Talmosphere art music is more of a mixture between JI, meantone and a particular kind of style that contrasts beating with solidly consonant stability.

Languages

Major languages

Roughly in order of number of speakers:

  1. Hetomic
  2. Dodellian
  3. Skellan
  4. Windermere
  5. Sowaár

Language families

Some major language families are:

Macrofamilies

"Racial" characteristics

  • Etalocians have brown skin, black hair, epicanthal folds, blue eyes (sometimes), and straight hair.
  • Txapoallians: various

Programming languages

Programming languages usually have Skellan keywords. Some common languages are:

  • High-level language (Java + Python hybrid)
  • Functional language
  • C analogue

People

Surnames are bolded.
