+'''Txapoalli''' (English: ''chah-poh-AH-lee'' or ''chap-oh-AL-ee'', [[Naquian]]: ''Txapoalli'' /tʃapoˈalːi/; [[Eevo]]: ''Nyçís'' via Windermere ''Năchis'') is the largest continent in Tricin by land area, followed by Cualuav. Txapoalli is just a geographically defined region. It contains three main cultural regions, which are quite different.
-*Naquosphere
-*Sjowaazhosphere
+==Regions==
-*Hetomosphere
+*Naquiz: Northwest Txapoalli (closer to Talma)

+==History==
+===Ancient===
+Proto-Sowaazhic speakers settled Sowaázh.
+The [[Naquian]] Empire was initially typically polytheistic, like other ancient Quihum religions.
+The [[Hetomic]] Empire was also founded.
+===Medieval===
+Near the end of Naquian Empire era there emerged a tradition of theater exploring themes that were the province of religion. This caused something of a conflict in society; the old religious authorities, who would brook no replacement of the traditional religion, took measures against the "theaterists". However it failed.
+===Modern===
+Silphium Wars?
-Trician humans originated in Txapoalli.
 ==Names==
 The Eevo name ''Nycís'' probably derives from a form of ''Naquiz'', borrowed through Windermere.

+Common features:
-*Mandarin: Sjowaazh (Quihum)

-*Korean: Old "Geulic Tamil" idea (Tsimulh)
-*Khmer: Tzaloxian
-*Tibetan: Initial Salishy clusters (Tsimulh)
-*Burmese: Register tones, glottalized resonants
-*Japanese: CV-heavy language (Nizutsam, thus Clofabic?)

-==Religion==
-===Naquian===
-===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==
-*Tui-Faäni/Uānithazza - ancient capital of Naquian Empire
-*Shjhédaad = capital of Sjowaázh
