To all! Travel to a far away place,, known to only few. . .

A disant world, recently discovered, called Dukuuluuukuuuushuuuuu.* A tropical paradise to the southern border,
a winter wonderland further north. An ancient land filled with the most interesting little habitants.

European and Asian Cruise has been welcomed to the new land, and tourism ((after 2000 years)) is finally booming.

Under it's 'quaint' charm colonies are now rising.

Understand, truly, how East meets West.

CULTURE

Firstly this must be said. ALL Dukuuluuukuuuushuuuuun adore the feet. It is the most precious part of the body. It is what enables one to walk about and carry on through the day.
Playing 'footsies' with someone is the ultimate act of love.
And because of the feet, and the five toes on each foot Dukuuluuukuuuushuuuuun prefer to do things in five to honor the feet.

Northern ;;


Southern ;;

Weather ,, The southern hemisphere has sand too! Only, it's golden because of massive amounts of sunlight. Whatever sun the North lacks, the South gains. Temperature is very sweet closer to the north, a constant mid-sixty (F) degrees with a few light winds. Travel further South and it only increases. Rain come often further up, but tropical storms are more prevailent amoung the coastlines.

Housing ,, The villagers live in huts, very much similiar to yurts. Families paint crests all along the fabric of the outersides. The Southern people are very ornate in their use of paints and beadwork. Glassblowing is also popular.

Diet ,, Their diet consists mainly of fruits, corn, fish, and nuts. On special occasions meat. They drink the milk of the coconuts variebly spread along the shore.

Terrain ,, It is mostly filled with sand, with patches of grass, tall palm trees, a wide assortment of ferns and an endless display of rainbow coloured flowers. A few rolling hills, but mostly flat.

Dress ,,The dress is just as colourful. Dress mainly consists of four pieces of fabric: a scarf to wrap around the bustline, a front flap as well as a back on the lower half, and another which serves as a belt to hold the flaps together. That is the main dress. Accessories are held in high approval here. Villagers are often decked out in numerous piercings, headdresses, hair pin, necklaces, body jewely, and anklets made from twine, metal, shell, and glass.

Coming of Age ,, At fifteen children become adults. They design their oen crest, which patterns their house as well as their clothing. It is then that you also may date and start an apprenticeship.

Courting ,, Do you notice how I didn't say bracelets up above? Well that's because, at the age of fifteen, children design their own set of bracelets as well as their own crests. These bracelets are given to their crushes, in hopes they will enjoy the gift and return to thank them and start a relationship. All sexualities embraced, marriage is used only for political purposes.

Schooling ,, There is no true schooling, until your coming of age, when the priest decided what career you're best set out for, then you are placed under a master to serve for about two and a half years.

Religion ,, Southerners honor the Gods of the Sky, Water, and Fire. There are three mini temples alongside Gilepsiiee. Banquets are held during the seasons: Winter for the Night, Spring for the Water, Summer for Sun, and Autumn for Fire.

COLONIES

New Winchester ;; The first of the English settlements. Located South, near Sota. Actually only a few miles to the north. It mainly consists of a small colonial village. Wooden houses and buildings. A church. Selected stores. A school house. Created for a small village.

Sinclair ;; The second English settlement. Set closer to the border of North and South. Climate consists of mild weather. Sunny skies and a bit of frosted grass. The wooden houses are often insulated with quilts. They may feast on foods of both regions. And are currently working on a rail station from there to New Winchester. Citizens hope for it to one day blossom into a hot tourist rest stop.

Harina ;; A Spanish Settlement. This village took up the style of a rustic country as well as the two English colonies. The word 'harina' means 'flour,' and so, this town specializes in it's fine bread and delicate pastries. It offers a taste of home to the Europeans as well as a sweet introduction to the natives. There is no school house here, but a day care. Other basic marketing devices are being built up currently. Located about nineteen miles south of the border.

Farine ;; The French took great pride in this establishment. Many ornate tassles were brought from home to adorn the buildings. Even Southern paints were shipped to trim the windowpanes. The city offers every comfort of the Old World, minus such things like . . . internet connection. They are taking Dukuuluuukuuuushuuuuun ideals and blending it with their familiar lifestyles. It is said to be the most modern of the colonies. Farine rests in the NorthWestern regions.

Etto ;; Even Asian market is booming! For those Japanese who either wanted to return to the old ways or experience it for themselves, this is a key destination! Don't worry, manga is still imported, however rather than spending hours at the arcade one might study kendo or the traditional art of painting, maybe even enroll to learn the ways of a geisha! Traditional food is easy to acquire because of its location along the Northern Coastline. The newcomers most often offer their crafts of entertainment as well as artistic talent to the outer world rather than a marketplace.

CITIES

Nothern::
- Abrigaale: The Northern Temple


Southern::
- Sota: A large beach-front village just minutes away from the Southern Temple. Very warm climates.
Diet consists of fruit and nuts.

- Futuubuuu: The great "Metropolis" city of the South. Filled with market places and even a theater for grand festivals. About seven miles from Sota eastward. Beach front. Same climate and diet. Only buildings are commonly made of stone, rather then leather and wood.

- Abeliaa: A rather large city, located closer to the border. Both buildings and food show combined efforts of the two lands. It is said to be one of the few melting pots of the culture. Stone buildings, frosted with glass. You may have a fruit salad with your venison. And the Marketplace is unimaginable! The weather is even compromised, a year round spring-time.

- Nor: The fishing district, that's all I can say. It often rains and there is a lot of fish. A lot of fish! Families often migrate in the winter. Even in summer to bring their goods to other cities. It's known for it's delightful cuisine.

- Kesairhe: Located westward and a bit south of Abeliaa, stands Kesairhe. A perculiar place. It's rumored that's where the imps and rogues meet. Kesairhe is not known for it's upmostly pleasant ending springtime climate or it's fine silk cloth. No, it is the sight of superstition. Many imps and godlings wander about at night.

- Gilepsiiee: The Southern Temple
