 +==== Cultures & Languages ====
 +
 +There are four main cultural super groups settled in Divion. 
 +
 +=== Balgi ===
 +
 +The Balgi are the primary culture of mundweren people who had settled Divion in recent times. Their populations are firmly cemented into Divion's societies, despite being the newest of the cultures present there.
 +
 +As a language, Balgi tends to mix a lot of consonants to complex effect. It also makes use of thousands of suffixes and prefixes. One such suffix is "-en" or "-n", which in most cases transforms a noun into a plural, like in "mundweren".
 +
 +=== Gilic ===
 +
 +The Gilic culture includes the Parves that had built the Parvan Empire, but also includes many neighboring empires to the North. Technically, the geants are the sole originators of the Gilic culture, but it is an ancient and intertwined culture that is no longer associated with any one species. Hiniru miru, mundweren, geant, urzdwer and many others can be seen as Gilic. 
 +
 +The Gilic language consists of a lot of simple syllables. The name "Gatalia" comes from Gilic.
 +
 +=== Gilic-Nimun ===
 + 
 +Named as a hybridisation of the "Gilic" and "Nimun" cultures, the Gilic-Nimun is essentially one of the many Nimun cultures to the South that split off and intermingled with the culture of the Gilic. It is associated primarily with the hiniru miru species, but only by a slim margin. As with Gilic, it has been adopted by many species over many centuries. 
 +
 +The language used by the Gilic-Nimun is simply a northern dialect of Nimun. 
 +
 +=== Urzd ===
 +
 +The Urzd is the super-culture of the traditional urzdwer people. It consists of hundreds of smaller, local cultures in the form of clans. These clans once (and unofficially still do) own(ed) territories throughout Divion. These clans identify themselves as belonging to one of three heritages:
 +
 +  * Scazda (of the West Mountains)
 +  * Urtaru (of the Downriver)
 +  * Kisci (of the Upriver)
 +
 +Each of those three often make use of their own languages, taking the names of the heritages themselves (Scazda, Urtaru, Kisci). Historically, the Urzd were not a united nation, and often clans warred against each other. The invasion of the Parvan Empire that occurred many centuries ago had united most if not all of these clans, and they now view each-other as being of the same cloth.
 +
 +The Three Urzd Tongues each make use of a lot of strange consonants that do not exist in other languages. As one example, "rt" is used to denote a short, rolled "R" sound produced by touching ones tongue to the back of their teeth and "purring" at the front of their throat.

 The flora of the woods and rain-forests seem to constantly be trying to reclaim land and buildings in Divion. Not only that, but despite being far from monstrous, many of the animals in these wildernesses are extremely dangerous. There are [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda|theropod]]-like species that form packs and colonies to brutally raid undefended villages, and massive [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megafauna|megafauna]] which can level towns if they get too "cozy".   The flora of the woods and rain-forests seem to constantly be trying to reclaim land and buildings in Divion.

-As a result, nature is often treated as its own nation, with the fabled goddess Rtascina as its immortal ruler. Witch covens and outlaws are said to be allied with Rtascina, although in truth they simply know the ins and outs of wilderness survival and there is no wild nation. For those in civilization, the relationship is complex. Offerings to Rtascina are common place, but so are hunting wars waged to prune back the eternal march of the "Natural Order"+As a result, nature is often treated as its own nation, with the fabled goddess Rtascina as its immortal ruler. Outlaws and other forest-dwellers are said to be allied with Rtascina, although in truth they simply know the ins and outs of wilderness survival and there is no wild nation.
