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.

Music
Shalian music
Little is known of early Shalian music from primary sources, although Shalian oral tradition holds that Old Shalian songs were sung in large groups or in solo falsetto singing (à la Peking opera), as if to call upon the gods or to prepare the spirit for battle.
After fleeing the Idosians who defeated them in the Shalian Wars and settling in Cualuav, Shalians slowly developed their own musical tradition.
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.
