-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. They do not worship Vormaxia, Zepherin, Aremakh, or Almar.

-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:tlayahucoatl|Tlayahucoatl.]]** Itlan-Youali is one of the few places where Tenebrians exist, and are known without being chased out of polite society. Some religious rituals involve sacrifice of a willing participant, with the promise that the cycle of reincarnation will carry them into a new life. Sacrifice of an unwilling Tonatiu citizen is considered high heresy by the ruling priests.

 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.
