Text from the image:

The Gichan are the product of a long history of conquest, fueled by their much coveted mountain passes and watersheds. The culture of the Kingdom of Gichan is highly syncretic. It owes its mores and traditions in varying parts to the underlying cultural substrate, to the Ghøwout Empire's centuries of rule, to the practices of their neighbors and to those of the new Gichan regime. To defend its precious lands, Gichan has a well-developped military with a strong core of professional soldiers, Gichan's regime is indissociable from its military: all noble families have a strong military background and it is customary for nobles of all rank to serve as officers for years or even decades.

Gichan was originally the name of a small nation in the mountains up the Cianji River, which became legendary for their unabating resistance in the face of the early Ghøwout Empire. When Ghøwout's northernmost province rebelled and seceded, it took on the name Gichan as a symbol of their resistance against imperial rule.

Gichan society is strongly divided between its military and peasant classes, but its peasants are far from powerless. Peasantry in Gichan is much revered : it is said to carry the nation on its strong back. as it works the fields and crafts the goods that feed and clothe the nation's soldiers. This romanticized potrayal often impedes serious understanding between local leaders and military lords, but fosters an attitude of gratitude towards the peasant's hard toil. In the harsh Gichan lands, a satisfied peasantry is seen as a priority.

Gican society is organized as chains of villages, each with their own village leaders, trading spouses and ressources up and down the mountains. They are ruled in a roughly feudal fashion, paying taxes in labour and goods to local military lords which themselves defer to higher lords up to the Gican royal court. Like in Ghøwout, religious specialists are excluded from this hierarchy: known as chui-chuøn (t. wild men), they are traditional healers and spiritual leaders often living in relative hermitage. In a set of practices long considered uncivilized by the Ghøwout, chui-chuøn wear numerous pelts and animal bones as a symbol of their otherworldly connections and hermitage. Uniquely, chui-chuøn do not wear tail brooches, as a way to signal that they are apart from society and clanship.

The Gichan use a modified Ghøwout script and many ghøwoutish loanwords, but most Gichan do not speak the Ghøwout tongue. They speak a variety of dialects, the most common of which is Tchougougch. Much of the peasantry is multilingual, having learned the language of a neighboring community within Gichan or of the many foreign traders using Gichan's mountain passes.

Gichan's territory has often been coveted and contested, much to the suffering of its locals. The revolution that broke Gichan apart from Ghøwout was strongly backed by the people, who felt Ghøwout had abandoned them in the face of the invading Senq Ha Empire. The Senq Ha had come from overseas and taken the Peninsular lands like a wildfire, and were now at their door, but Ghøwout, weakened by illnesses brought by the conquerors and internal strife, failed to mount a defense for Gichan in time, allowing much of it to be conquered. After this betrayal, the people of the passes, under the rule of two different empires, united and rebelled under the legendary name Gichan. They became the first province to secede from Ghøwout, initiating the Empire's long decline, and one of the first major setbacks of the Senq Ha in their invasion of Uanlikri.

#peoples of uanlikri #art by me #worldbuilding #antiole world #antiole fashion #gichan #gican #mountainfolk #Gichan is exciting! it's also the first nation / ethnicity that people in my story are actually likely to meet. Everyone knows about Ghøwou #bc Ghøwout is huge like. russia or china. but Ghøwout is oppressive insular and far away and its unlikely to meet one north of the mountain #Gichan move around more owing to all the trade routes they're defending

“ where have you been ? ” it’s not meant to come off as accusatory as elijah’s tone implies, near worried more than anything else, but he’s so used to hiding behind defensiveness . concern comes in the form of crossed arms over his chest, tugging at the sleeves of his sweater with a pouting expression . “ I sent you like, six texts— that’s embarrassing, gichan . ”

The Qot-Qítiō culture area encompasses the peoples descended from the Qot colony, founded around three centuries ago by the Senq Ha Empire, situated overseas. The Qot colony was one of several colonies founded on Uanlikri with the intention to conquer and settle the famed Land of the Moon. The Senq Ha's colonization efforts resulted in mass death and displacement on the western peninsula and beyond.

The Qot colony was the only colony to successfully rebel and secede while the Senq Ha Empire was still strong. Decades later, the Senq Ha, weakened by prolonged war on the homeland, would abandon all their colonies. This would put a stop to the colonies' expansion, as infighting inside and between the colonies diverted resources from conquest. The Qot, already independent, fared better than the others for a time.

Text from the image under the cut.

Qot was one of the colonies founded by the Senq Ha Empire in their effort to conquer Uanlikri. It was settled by voluntary colonists of the majority ethnicity of the Empire, the Setsé, and by forcibly resettled Qítiō, torn from their families on the mainland. Feeling disfavored by the Empire and inspired by the Gichan rebellions in the South, the Setsé allied themselves with the Qítiō and expelled Senq Ha rule. The secession was violent and resulted in loss of crops, livestock and people, loyalists and rebels alike.

In their efforts to rebuild and remain independent from the other colonies, the rebelling Setsé and the displaced Qítiō borrowed many practices and customs from eachother. The Setsé independentists took on the name of their colony and became the Qot. Some Qítiō remained with them, while others returned to the nomadic lifestyle that had been theirs on the mainland.
