==Theaterism==
Naquian religion uses theater as a religious text. Plays are used to teach moral and religious lessons. Hence Talmans called it "Theaterism" ([[Eevo]]: ''binspyçáhvih'', [[Windermere]]: ''thngop lithgow''); the name stuck but scholars today consider it misleading, as theater is merely a medium by which the religion is taught.
 
Naquian mythology was immensely complex with many characters and plot arcs. Originally epics were used to transmit this knowledge but plays began playing a much greater role in transmitting the stories in a memorable form. The scripts for the sacred plays meticulously specified not only words and gestures, but also props, costumes, staging, and Ancient Greek-style chorus commentary. Theological commentary consists mainly of analyzing the meanings of sacred plays.


==History==
The Theaterist canon has different levels of plays teaching the same material, one level for children, one level for teens and one level for adults.

===The law===
* morality, wisdom and advice: often fables, but choruses inject this kind of thing into anything
* Todo: religion-specific rules such as "observe certain festivals and fasts"; this part is justified with Naquian national myths

===Tuning===
Naquic music uses a division of the perfect fifth into 4 or 8 equal parts. (The 8 equal parts tuning is very close to the 88 cents equal tuning.) Skellan composer [[Verse:Tricin/Rewhd Sgutsis|Rewhd Sgutsis]] noted that these scales fit nicely into a framework of 41 equal parts to the octave.

Skellan composer [[Verse:Tricin/Rewhd Sgutsis|Rewhd Sgutsis]] noted that these scales fit nicely into a framework of 41 equal parts to the octave, though Talman music preferred 31edo at the time.
 
Scales in steps of the 8 equal division of the fifth scale:
 
*2 2 2 2 - 4edf
*2 2 3 1
*3 1 3 1
 
Native sources describe the following system of naming intervals in this scale.
*"Unison"
*Minor second = 88 cents
*Neutral second = 176 cents
*Major second = Minor third = 264 cents
*Neutral third = 352 cents
*Major third = Minor fourth = 440 cents
*Neutral fourth = 528 cents
*Major fourth = 616 cents
*Perfect fifth = 704 cents
*Minor sixth = 792 cents
*Neutral sixth = 880 cents
*Major sixth = Minor seventh = 968 cents
*Neutral seventh = 1056 cents
*Major seventh = 1144 cents
