There are two very common calendars in use: the Talman solar calendar and the Hlou lunisolar calendar. Somewhat less common is the Wiobian solar calendar (which is much more accurate than the Talman one; it's aligned with the spring equinox).

Religion

  • Some weird religion for the Wiobians and Dapkhans
  • Hlou-Ku paganism/polytheism
    • A version of PIE paganism
    • Òṃ is a Shumian god
  • Rhythoed and Talman religions and parodies thereof
    • The "Second Stopper"

People making up their own religions is commonplace

Cuisine

Historically, vegetarianism was more popular in Bjeheond among people who followed the Rhythoed culture (about 10% of them were vegetarian). The Hlou-Ku and Dapkhan people traditionally ate meat, but beef and pork were avoided. Fish was extremely common.

Notable figures

Note: Wiobian and Tsjoen names were originally surname-first. However, due to Rhythoed influence later names are surname-last.

  • Niumer Kait - Wiobian emperor, said to have invented the Wiobian script
  • Sjameu Panzux - Tsjoen linguist
  • Ṇḷo-Ṇâi - Shumian entrepreneur, often called the "Second Mover of Bjeheond"
