Todo for contributors

  • In general, conlangs and names should avoid words that sound like
    • profanities in common Earth languages
    • racial etc. slurs
    • names of infamously destructive hurricanes (e.g. "Katrina" or "Harvey")
  • Find some microtonalist types
  • Find a domain to host a dedicated wiki on

  • spitin - terrestrial
  • tricin - terrestrial

Planetary characteristics

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

1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours

357 days = 51 7-day weeks

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

Languages

Major languages

Language families

In-universe conlangs

  • Fantasy language aesthetics:
    • breathy-voiced stops/geminates like Old Eevo, Bhadhagha and Camalic
    • Tamil gib
    • pseudo-Adetsib or pseudo-Naquian = (fantasy races)
    • pseudo-Netagin
  • Alt-history languages

Programming languages

  • Verbose language with Clofabosin keywords (Java + Python hybrid)

"if X": X sartan (sartan = "case, condition")

"for i in range(1,10)": (1,10) apidan gaptan i ibat (gloss: "(1,10) range member i DISTRIBUTIVE")

"while X": X otetan (otetan = "period of time")

  • Functional language
  • C analogue

Religions, mysticism and philosophy

  • Second Mover = we humans are responsible for the process of "creation" and formulating rules, where "God has left off", even when no one is telling us what to do
  • Clofabian paganism
  • A more universalistic religion (in the same general cluster as Christianity or Mahayana Buddhism)
    • Perhaps the former multiple gods coalesce into one God - instead of elimination of other gods in favor of one of them
    • A person goes to a (potentially infinite?) chain of purgatories after they die - one's karma increases or reduces time served in purgatories
    • Heaven exists, "hell" is when a soul spends indefinite time in purgatories
    • People drawing up graphs/trees of afterlives lol
      • This turns into various board games
    • Question: "Assume that there is a God whom we trust and want to get messages from. When can you trust someone who claims to be God?"
      • This leads to discussions of computer security protocols before computers were invented
      • "God's Public Key" = either a satirical TV show episode, a short story or a song
    • I could just copy Buddhism

Folk religion

Organized theism is rare in Tricin; theism is more predominant in folk religion. A Trician might just make up any patron god they want.

People

Surnames are bolded.
