Verse talk:

Smøøh (English: /ˈtrɪsin/ TRIS-in or /ˈtrɪkɪn/ TRIK-in; Skellan: a Smøøh /ə smœyh/; Rhythoed: Sngeaf; Clofabosin: tricin /tɾikin/ 'world'; Tsjoen: Xjeof /ɬjʌf/) is an older version of the conworld Verse:Tricin before major languages (especially Talmic) were revamped on July 1, 2018. The material is kept here for archival purposes.

Star system

Tricin is the second of 7 planets orbiting a G-type main sequence star, called a hond in Skellan, grian in Clofabosin, and pjeos in Tsjoen.

Planet names in Skellan, Clofabosin and Rhythoed:

• Sfiþ, spitin, Sfith - terrestrial
• Smøøh, tricin, Sngeaf - terrestrial
  • Satellite: Søøm, porfin, Chad
• Aloð, olatin, Ălath - terrestrial
• Fricoð, fricadin, Frăcod - super-Earth
• Sdarciþ, sterocitin, Starăcüth - gas giant
• Toroð, tarofudin, Torăfud - gas giant
• Llifr, cliferin, Clăfar - ice giant

The largest planet is Taroð and the smallest is Aloð.

Planetary characteristics

1 Trician year = 381.3668618 Earth days = 357.0806527870906 Trician days = 1.04410737342 Earth years

1 Trician day = 25.6323176 hours

357 days = 51 7-day weeks

Atmosphere and atmospheric pressure: Earth-like

Continents

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: Ogxóoŋ): 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:

• Zoom Islands (near Txapoalli)
• Ldonjama (lots of 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

Leap day every 12.3988275678 years

months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)

Leap year every 12 except when the year is divisible by 372. If the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year.

so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years

In Talman reckoning, history is divided into 72-year periods, known in Skellan as fyðóor.

The current Trician year is fT 1392.

Tectonic plates

Major plates:

• one big oceanic plate
• Talman plate
• Etalocian plate (Or maybe one single Eta-Talman plate)
• Bjeheondian plate
• two to three Txapoallian plates
• one Cualuavian plate
• two to four minor oceanic plates
• one Arctican plate

Prehistory

• Long period of glaciation like in our world
• Behaviorally modern humans emerged in Txapoalli

Neurotypes

Mostly similar to Earth humans

• Some people can only trust explicit rules.
