'''Tricin''' (English: /ˈtrɪsin/ ''TRIS-in''; [[Skellan]]: ''a Smøøh''; [[Clofabosin]]: ''tricin'' /tɾikin/ 'world'; [[Windermere]]: ''Sngeaf''; [[Swuntsim]]: ''Ξəp'' /tɬəp/) is an Earth-like planet orbiting a G-type main sequence star, called ''a hond'' in [[Skellan]], ''grian'' in [[Clofabosin]], and ''fi nieth'' in [[Windermere]], in the Rytsofzyláð Galaxy. | |||
Tricin is a collaborative conworld setting originally created by [[User:IlL]]. [[User:Praimhín]] has also contributed greatly. | |||

===Contributors=== | |||

===Former contributors=== | |||
*[[User:Praimhín]] | |||
==Some loose guidelines== | |||
*In general, conlangs and names should avoid words that sound like | |||
**racial etc. slurs | |||
**profanities in common Earth languages | |||
**names of infamously destructive hurricanes (e.g. "Katrina" or "Harvey") | |||
*When creating a Trician character, you can give them multiple interests (like, say, mathematician and composer) but generally you should give them at most one field to be major or famous in, especially if the character is contemporary. | |||
==Todo== | |||
*Explore cultural contact and conflict. | |||
*Explore "scattered communities with local laws" ideas for political systems | |||
*Need literature people in the workgroup | |||
*Find a domain to host a dedicated wiki on | |||
*Change "Ngrona" | |||
==Star system== | |||
TODO: Redo Talman planet names | |||
Planet names in Clofabosin: | |||
*''Faxid'' - terrestrial | |||
*''Smøøh'' - terrestrial | |||
**Satellite: ''Søøm'' | |||
*''Ałoð'' - terrestrial | |||
*''Fizjort'' - super-Earth | |||
*''Xeñih'' - gas giant | |||
*''Dazjofwñð'' - gas giant | |||
*''Çifazj'' - ice giant | |||
The largest planet is Xeñih and the smallest is Ałoð. | |||
==Planetary characteristics== | |||
1 Trician solar year = 357.08065278709064 Trician days. These are often grouped into 51 7-day weeks. | |||
1 Trician solar day = 24 Earth hours | |||
A Trician day is divided into 5040 units, each of which is divided into 5040 smaller units. | |||
One Trician lunar month is 30.58122882574347 Trician days long; hence months in the lunar calendar usually have either 30 or 31 days. Twelve lunar months are about 366.97474590892164 days, which ''exceeds'' the solar year by 9.89409312183100 solar days. Hence Trician lunisolar calendars ''remove'' a month, approximately once in every 3 years, to keep the months aligned with the solar year. | |||
Atmosphere and atmospheric pressure: Earth-like | |||
===Continents=== | |||
[[File:Bitaleta.png|thumbnail|The countries of the Bitaleta ([[Talma]], [[Etalocin]], and [[Bjeheond]]) area]] | |||
27% of Tricin's surface is land (i.e. not covered by water). | |||
Continents (Areas are ballpark estimates): | |||
*Eta-Talma (Skellan: ''Eþa-Talma''): Spreads north to south, about 20% of the land | |||
**[[Verse:Tricin/Talma|Talma]] (Skellan: ''Talma''): Northern, temperate region | |||
**[[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Etalocin]] (Skellan: ''Eþa''): Southern, tropical region | |||
*[[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond|Bjeheond]] (Skellan: ''Ogxóoñ''): about 10% of the land, temperate | |||
*[[Verse:Tricin/Txapoalli|Txapoalli]] (Skellan: ''Nyçís'') : about 30% of the land, climate varies widely | |||
*[[Verse:Tricin/Cualuav|Cualuav]] (Skellan: ''Cualuav''): 30%, climate varies widely | |||
*Arctica: 10% | |||
Other areas: | |||
*[[Verse:Tricin/Zoom Islands|Zoom Islands]] (near Txapoalli) | |||
*[[Verse:Tricin/Chunda Capeto|Chunda Capeto]] (lots of languages) | |||
The Bitaleta (Bjeheond, Etalocin and Talma) area is often called the "North" or similar in Trician languages. | |||
TODO: Residual and spread zones within each continent. | |||
===Calendar=== | |||
The following describes the Talman calendar, which is now a global standard across Tricin. | |||
Year 0 marks the founding of the Windermere Empire. Negative years are written with a minus sign. | |||
Months in Clofabosin: | |||
*''rufiporfin'' | |||
*''talaporfin'' | |||
*''uneporfin'' | |||
*''verteporfin'' | |||
*''rostaporfin'' | |||
*''exeporfin'' | |||
*''avidoporfin'' | |||
*''temoporfin'' | |||
*''padeliporfin'' | |||
*''padoporfin'' | |||
*''stannsoporfin'' | |||
*''lemuteporfin'' | |||
A seven-day week is used. The names of the days of the week in Clofabosin are: | |||
*''domorelin'' | |||
*''remorelin'' | |||
*''mimorelin'' | |||
*''famorelin'' | |||
*''solmorelin'' | |||
*''lamorelin'' | |||
*''timorelin'' | |||
The current Trician year is fT 1392. | |||
===Major oceans and seas=== | |||
===Tectonic plates=== | |||
Major plates: | |||
*one big oceanic plate | |||
*Talman plate | |||
*Etalocian plate | |||
*Bjeheondian plate | |||
*two to three Txapoallian plates | |||
*one Cualuavian plate | |||
*two to four minor oceanic plates | |||
*one Arctican plate | |||
===Time zones=== | |||
===Constellations=== | |||
===Natural resources=== | |||
Fossil fuels are less abundant than on Earth, which has forced Tricians to rely on nuclear energy. [also slowed down tech progress, but Trician civilization also grew more sustainably than Earth civilization] (?) | |||
==Prehistory== | |||
Behaviorally modern humans emerged in Southern Etalocin. | |||
==Music== | |||
The Trician musical traditions could be classified roughly as follows. (See individual subpages for more info.) | |||
*meantone (penta or diatonic; I-vi-ii-V-I important): clofabian | |||
*sharp 5ths tunings (optimizing for septimal intervals; like 27edo): dodellian | |||
*just intonation (mostly overtone or undertone series based, some esoteric ones like combination product sets) or quasi ji edos: trad. talman, bjeheondian, popular fyxoom | |||
*ajnas (tetra or pentachords): sowaar | |||
*equal div of 5th: naquosphere | |||
*scales good for inharmonic timbres (slendro and pelog and quasi 7edo): onishia | |||
*small edos good for weird consonances: modern experimental | |||
Modern Talmosphere art music is more of a mixture between JI, meantone and a particular kind of style that contrasts beating with solidly consonant stability. | |||
==Languages== | |||
===Major languages=== | |||
Roughly in order of number of speakers: | |||
#[[Hetomic]] | |||
#[[Dodellian]] | |||
#[[Skellan]] | |||

#[[Sowaár]] | |||
===Language families=== | |||
Some major language families are: | |||
*[[Lakovic languages]] (e.g. [[Windermere]]) | |||
*[[Quame languages]] (e.g. [[Skellan]]) | |||
*[[Hlou-Shum languages]] (e.g. [[Hlou]]) | |||

*[[Pategic languages|Pategic]]~[[Clofabosin]]~[[Varquun]] ("ALPC" or "Alpaic") | |||
*Hlou-Shum~Tsimulh ("Southwestern languages") | |||

*Txapoallians: various | |||
