+ | ===== Cities of Itlan-Youali ===== | ||
+ | **Ozomatli, the Dusk Capital:** When Itlan-Youali was first discovered millennia ago, Ozomatli was the first capital built as the underground realms began to grow in population and sophistication. Across time, this massive metropolis has stood as a testament to the Tonatiu and their ways. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Quetzalcamina, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Tlailotlacan: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Coatltepetl: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Tototl:** This town is close to Ozomatli, situated near a lively waterfall. It is known as a hub of trade and technology, and certain Tototl craftsmen have been pushing for more contact with the outside world, believing that a more open exchange of ideas has the potential to bring Tonatiu society to new heights. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Culture ===== | ||
+ | Having escaped underground and avoided the bloody history of Splint, Itlan-Youali has lived mostly undisturbed for millennia upon millennia. With limited space, their society has had little room to grow, but neither is infinite growth an objective of Tonatiu culture. As one of the few nations that escaped Dahabi dominion, Tonatiu religion is quite different than the usual. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While they acknowledge the other gods’ existence and give each of them a requisite place in their society, the main gods they worship are Peregrinus, Tenebrus, Anpu, Aset, and Seherine, who they see as a single deity with a domain of cycles: **[[gods: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Tonatiu greatly value history and the perseverance of past knowledge, with vast libraries in their larger cities dedicated to archival of the years. They also put value on coexistence with nature, believing in the existence of reincarnation. The dead in Itlan-Youali are buried without embalming in Anpuan temples, left for nature to reclaim as part of the world’s great cycle. Hibiscus plants are often grown over these graves, later harvested to brew tea. In coming of age ceremonies, it is traditional to drink tea made with the hibiscus flower of one’s previous life to represent the cycle of life and death continuing in a new body. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tonatiu aesthetics are quite geometric, with large chunky elements on their clothing and accessories, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Tonatiu also keep populations of various tame dinosaurs as livestock and companion animals, mostly consisting of raptors. These range from dog-sized velociraptors, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Religion ==== | ||
+ | Religious life is a massive part of Tonatiu society. Though some of the other Jaernian gods see worship here under other names, the primary deity venerated is [[gods: | ||
+ | |||
+ | A key part of belief in Tlayahucoatl is **reincarnation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Finding of the Spark** is a ceremony that is done close to childbirth that is tied very closely to the Cycle of Reincarnation. In this, a priest of the Domain of Life, Death, and Fate all convene and examine children who had been recently born, looking for the spark of who they once were in their eyes. Once a child is found in this way, they are given the name of their previous life. If a child has no spark, then they are considered a //Yankiuk Soul// or a new soul. Once the Spark is found, a child is named after their previous life. A single soul is believed to chase the same goals and have the same natural talents over their many lifetimes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tonatiu have rather open views around individuality and identity, as the body is second to the soul. If there is a disconnect between the soul and the body, then the body must be changed to accommodate the soul within it, and in finding a partner, the soul of the person you love is more important to their appearance. Because of this, people in Itlan-Youali are much quicker to judge someone on their merits and personality over their appearances. | ||
