Cualuav is, for now, a placeholder for Trician continents that were uninhabited until modern times. Nowadays Cualuav is dominated by speakers of Eevo and a few other major Trician languages such as Windermere. Cualuav is located roughly opposite Etalocin, Talma, Txapoalli and Bjeheond. (This is mostly to isolate Cualuav from every other continent)
History
Cualuav was discovered by the Skellans, the Windermere, and the Anbirese who quickly populated the coastal area and founded Fyxoom.

After fleeing the Idosians who defeated them in the Shalian Wars and settling in Cualuav, Shalians slowly developed their own musical tradition.
Shalian oral tradition holds that Old Shalian songs were sung in large groups or in Chinese-style falsetto singing, as if to call upon the gods.
The Shalians use the aġġiakkātą, borrowed from the Nurians.
The most distinctive and well-known style of Modern Shalian music is heavily syncopated rhythmic choral music.
