Caithfidh mé tús a chur leis an mblag seo ag pointe éicint 🤷
Bhí mé ag iarraidh blag Gaeilge tumblr a dhéanamh le fada an lá. Tá cion agam ar an suíomh seo as gan bacáil leis an lucht corparáideach (agus tá súil agam gur choíche a ngabhfaidh an muintir an tsuímh seo ina n-éadan! ✊), agus as a bheith chomh oscailte le chuile shórt beo - ó thaobh roinnte smaointe, cabhair, 7 eolais de, ó thaobh na ráiméise a mbainimid uilig taitneamh as 🤪 ar bhealach éicint - go hábhair fíor-thábhachtach, cosúil le sábháilteacht chollaíochta, cosaint ó fhoréigean gnéis, plé ar dhaonlathas 7 ar dhíchóilíneachas, idir eile.
Go bunúsach, creidim gurb í an áit is oiriúnaí le tús a chur le blag Gaeilge - ba mhaith liom spás a chruthú anseo ar son a leanas:
leideanna foghlamtha teanga a chur ar fáil 😛
an cultúr a bhaineann leis an teanga a roinnt🥳
Plé ar an nGaeltacht ☘️, ar an nGalltacht 🫖 agus ar Éirinn uilig 🥁
Canúintí uilig na Gaeilge 7 an Domhain Ghaelaigh a cheiliúradh 7 a chur chun cinn - ní hamháin na trí mhór-chanuintí (Corca Dhuibhne, Conamara, Gaoth Dobhair)
Na lipéidí cruinne a thabhairt ar chuile cheann acu (gan ainm na gcúigí ina n-aimsítear iad a thabhairt ar na trí mhór-chanúintí agus dearmad a dhéanamh ar gach canúint eile 😢)
Mo chuid smaointeoireachta féin 💟
So, fáilte romhaibh uilig a bhfuil fonn oraibh a bheith i dteangmháil leis an nGaeilge sa mbealach seo, nó a bhfuil suim acu ar a bhfuil ag an mblag seo le tairiscint 😁🤗🎉.
🫖☘️🌈🌹🌧️♟️🎊
I've been wanting to make an Irish-language Tumblr blog for AGES - I've an affection for this site for the longest time having not got involved with the corporate world (and I hope they never do!) and for creating an platform atmosphere that is so open for anything.
For sharing thoughts, help and information - from the fantastic fanatical bullshit we all enjoy in one way or another, to really serious topics, like sexual safety, protection from gender violence, discussions on democracy and decolonisation, amongst so many other things...
Basically, I think this site is the perfect place to start a blog for the Irish language, and here I'd like to create the space for:
Language learning tips 😛
Sharing the culture that belongs to this language 🥳
Talking about the Gaeltacht (Irish-language Ireland), the Galltacht (English-language Ireland) and Ireland in its entirety 🎊
Celebrating and promoting all the dialects of Irish and the rest of the Gaelic-speaking world - not just the three biggest dialects (Corca Dhuibhne, Conamara 7 Gaoth Dobhair)
Giving each dialect its proper label (not labelling the three big dialects with the province wherein they're found, and forgetting about the rest 😭)
My own thoughts 🤠
So here's a big Fáilte romhaibh to all ye who'd like to interact with #Irish in this way, or have an interest in what this blog has to offer 😁🤗🎉
Go raibh míle maith agaibh 🥳

UNBLENDING CELTIC POLYTHEISTIC PRACTICES
Celtic Umbrella
This lesson is largely focusing on the insular Celtic nations & Brittany (Ireland/Eire, Scotland/Alba, Wales/Cymru, Cornwall/Kernow, Isle of Man/Mannin, & Brittany/Breizh) - traditionally regarded as 6 out of the 7 Celtic nations. Galicia/Galizia is the 7th, but because of a mix of the below + my own lack of knowledge, I won't be covering them.
The vast swath of Continental Celtic cultures are a different but equally complex topic thanks to extinction, revival, varying archaeological artefacts and the work of modern practioners to piece unknown parts back together.
This will serve as a quick 'n' dirty guide to the insular Celtic nations, Celtic as a label, blood percentages and ancestry, the whats and whys of "Celtic soup", and how to unblend practice.
The insular Celtic groups are split into two language groups: Brythonic languages and Gaelic languages.
Brythonic languages are Cymraeg/Welsh, Kernewek/Cornish, & Breton
Gaelic languages are Gàidhlig/Scottish, Gaeilge/Irish, & Gaelg/Manx.
The language split leads to certain folkloric and religious figures & elements being more common within the language group than without. All of these nations had historic cultural exchange and trade routes via the Celtic sea (and beyond). Despite this, it is still important to respect each as a home to distinct mythologies.
Pros/Cons of a broad Celtic umbrella
Pros
- Used within celtic nations to build solidarity - Relates to a set of cultures that have historic cultural exchange & broad shared experiences - A historic group category - Celtic nations’ culture is often protected under broad legislation that explicitly highlights its ‘Celtic-ness’.
Cons
- Can be used reductively (in academia & layman uses) - Often gives in to the dual threat of romanticisation/fetishisation & erasure - Conflates a lot of disparate practices under one banner - Can lead to centring ‘celtic american’ experiences. - Celtic as a broad ancestral category (along with associated symbols) has also been co-opted by white supremacist organisations.
In this I’m using ‘Celtic’ as a broad umbrella for the multiple pantheons! This isn’t ideal for specifics, but it is the fastest way to refer to the various pantheons of deities that’ll be referenced within this Q&A (& something that I use as a self identifier alongside Cornish).
What about blood % or ancestry?
A blood percentage or claimed Celtic ancestry is NOT a requirement to be a follower of any of the Celtic pantheons. The assumption that it does or is needed to disclose can feed easily into white supremacist narratives and rhetoric, along side the insidious implications that a white person in the USA with (perceived or real) Celtic ancestry is 'more celtic' than a person of colour living in a Celtic region (along with other romanticised notions of homogenously white cultures).
Along side this, a blood percentage or distant ancestry does not impart the culture and values of the Celtic region or it's recorded pagan practices by itself. Folk traditions are often passed down within families, but blood percentage is not a primary factor within this.
Connecting with ancestry is fine, good, and can be a fulfilling experience. It stops being beneficial when it leads to speaking over people with lived experiences & centres the USA-based published and authors - which can lead to blending/souping for reasons further on.
What is 'soup'?
Celtic soup is a semi-playful term coined by several polytheists (primarily aigeannagusacair on wordpress) to describe the phenomenon of conflating & combining all the separate pantheons and practices from the (mainly) insular Celtic nations into one singular practice - removing a lot of the regionalised folklore, associated mythos, & varying nuances of the nations that make up the soup.
Why does it happen?
The quick version of this is book trends and publishing meeting romanticisation and exotification of Celtic cultures (especially when mixed with pre-lapsarian views of the Nations). It's miles easier to sell a very generally titled book with a lot of Ireland and a little of everywhere else than it is to write, source and publish a separate book on each.
This is where centering American publishers and authors becomes an issue - the popular trend of USA-based pagan publications to conflate all celtic nations makes it hard to find information on, for example, Mannin practices because of the USA’s tendency to dominate media. Think of Llewellyn’s “Celtic Wisdom” series of books.
It has also been furthered by 'quick research guides'/TL;DR style posts based on the above (which have gained particular momentum on tumblr).
The things that have hindered the process in unblending/"de souping" is the difficulty in preserving independently published pamphlets/books from various nations (often more regionalised and immediately local than large, sweeping books generalising multiple practices) along with the difficulty of accessing historic resources via academic gatekeeping.
All of this has lead to a lack of awareness of the fact there is no, one, singular Celtic religion, practice or pantheon.
Why should I de-soup or unblend my practice?
Respecting the deities
It is, by and large, considered the bare minimum to understand and research a deity's origin and roots. The conflation of all insular Celtic deities under one singular unified pantheon can divorce them from their original cultures and contexts - the direct opposite to understanding and researching.
Folklore and myth surrounding various Celtic deities can be highly regionalised both in grounded reality and geomythically - these aren't interchangeable locations and are often highly symbolic within each nation.
Brú na Bóinne, an ancient burial mound in Ireland, as an entrance to the otherworld of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Carn Kenidjack & the Gump as a central site of Cornish folk entities feasts and parties, including Christianised elements of Bucca’s mythology.
The Mabinogion includes specific locations in Wales as well as broad Kingdoms - it’s implied that Annwn is somewhere within the historic kingdom of Dyfed, & two otherworldly feasts take place in Harlech & Ynys Gwales.
Conflating all celtic pantheons under one banner often leads to the prioritisation of the Irish pantheon, meaning all of the less ‘popular’ or recorded deities are sidelined and often left unresearched (which can lead to sources & resources falling into obscurity and becoming difficult to access).
Respecting the deities
Deities, spirits, entities, myth & folklore are often culturally significant both historically and to modern day people (just average folks along with practitoners/pagans/polytheists and organisations) located in the various Nations
A primary example is the initiatory Bardic orders of Wales and Cornwall.
Desouping/Unblending makes folklorist's lives easier as well as casual research less difficult to parse. The general books are a helpful jumping off point but when they constitute the bulk of writing on various Celtic polytheisms, they become a hinderance and a harm in the research process.
A lot of mythology outside of deities & polytheisms is also a victim of ‘souping' and is equally as culturally significant - Arthurian mythology is a feature of both Welsh and Cornish culture but is often applied liberally as an English mythology & and English figure.
Celtic nations being blended into one homogenous group is an easy way to erase cultural differences and remove agency from the people living in celtic nations. Cornwall is already considered by a large majority of people to be just an English county, and many areas of Wales are being renamed in English for the ease of English tourists.
How can I de-soup?
Chase down your sources' sources, and look for even more sources
Check your sources critically. Do they conflate all pantheons as one? Do they apply a collective label (the celts/celts/celt/celtic people) to modern day Celtic nations? How far back in history do they claim to reach?
Research the author, are they dubious in more ways than one? Have they written blog articles you can access to understand more of their viewpoints? Where are they located?
Find the people the author cites within their work - it can be time consuming but incredibly rewarding and can also give a good hint at the author's biases and research depth. You may even find useful further reading!
Find primary sources (or as close too), or translations of the originating folklore, e.g The Mabinogion. Going to the source of a pantheon’s mythos and folklore can be helpful in discerning where soup begins in more recent books as well as gaining insight into deities' actions and relationships.
Ask lots of questions
Question every source! Question every person telling you things that don't define what pantheon or region they’re talking about! Write all your questions down and search for answers! Talk to other polytheists that follow specific Celtic pantheons, find where your practices naturally overlap and where they have been forced into one practice by authors!
Be honest with yourself
There’s no foul in spreading your worship over several pantheons that fall under the celtic umbrella! A lot of polytheists worship multiple pantheons! But be aware of the potential for soup, and make sure you’re not exclusively reading and working from/with sources that conflate all practices as one.
If you approach any Celtic polytheistic path with the attitude of blood percentage or 'ancestral right', stop and think critically about why you want to follow a Celtic polytheistic path. Is it because it's the most obviously 'open' path to follow? Is it a desire to experience what other folks experience? Being critical, turning inward, and really looking at yourself is important.

I wanna ask you as a native speaker, since I see irish people get annoyed sometimes when people do it.
Is it incorrect to call the language "Gaelic"? And if so, what's the correct name?
Its not *technically* incorrect
Gaelic is the overall right language. But Gaelic isnt one language. Its an umbrella covering Irish Gaelige, Scottish Gàidhlig and Manx Gaelg. And these three languages are by and large not mutually intelligible. So when outsiders just say "Gaelic", any of us over here will be thinking "ok, which one?". Its like the difference between afrikaans and dutch. Very similar, but still enough differences to be unique.
In Ireland, we just say irish when referring to our language. Or Gaeilge. Just by the law of numbers, when you say Gaelic, more people will think you mean scottish than irish.

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Tagged by: @holdmecloser-gandydancer thank you very much! Tagging: @cataztrophi, @sugarberryandtea, @aeivyen, @taakosleftshoe (and anyone else who would like to take part! I'm so sorry if I forgot anyone who hasn't already been tagged.)
1. How many works do you have on A03? 40 (thanks to taznc for the recent boost!)!
2. What's your total A03 word count? 185,442! That's more than I thought it would be. Bloody hell. It's been a busy year and a half!!
3. What fandoms do you write for? Mostly TAZ but I do occasionally write Jainshine for Naddpod
4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Scamming Me Scamming You, Astrology for Horse Jugglers, Taako Deserves a Sword, Star-Blast-o-Mania, Excuses Excuses.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I will usually because I really appreciate people taking time leave a comment (they genuinely bring me such joy and they're not that common so they're a real treat!) and want to thank them.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I don't really know if any of mine are that anxty at the end, but the anxtiest overall is probably 10 Years Ago Today.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I think pretty much everything does to be honest, but probably I PhDo (Blupjeans Week 2023)?
8. Do you get hate on fics? I haven't and I'd love for that to continue
9. Do you write smut? I have some in a few things I'm working on but I'm not quite there yet.
10. Do you write crossovers? I haven't yet, I'm not sure I'd be very good.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not as far as I know
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Also not as far as I know
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I've got a few in progress with Larissa! (We're time poor, but slowly chugging along and they're a delight to write with.) I really enjoy writing with other people, getting to bounce off someone is a lot of fun.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship? I think it's gotta be Taakitz. Although I also love Jainshine.
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Hmmmm, I'd like to be optimistic and think I'll finish all of them at some point, but maybe a Blupjeans one where Barry's on holiday by accident. It's been a while since I touched it.
16. What are your writing strengths? Errrmmmmm. You have to know I am crushed by crippling self doubt at all times. I've had some very kind compliments about writing the twins bickering, so that. Also I like coming up with stupid storylines, so probably rolling in the ridiculous.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Getting bogged down, not accidentalling sliding into the wrong tense, actually writing the damn thing...
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I occasionally write a little Gaelg, I think it's nice to add a bit in!
19. First fandom you wrote for? TAZ! It was actually @blupjeansweek which got me started!
20. Favourite fic you've ever written? This is tricky, I think it might be Astrology for Horse Jugglers, but I also loved writing The Lady in the Lake and I'm very fond of my still-in-progress library AU (I'll finish it one day...)

Hey! I love your writing 🖤
Saw this exhibit at the Design Museum in London, and it made me think of you.
It’s a very small exhibit called Eroded Expressions:
“In Eroded Expressions, Isabel Lea researches environmental terminology from the Celtic languages found across the British Isles: Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic), Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic), Cymraeg (Welsh), Gaelg (Manx) and Kernewek (Cornish)”.
If you get a chance to go, there’s a booklet in the exhibit with tons of environmental expressions from the above mentioned languages. I though it was very ‘Landwriter’ relevant.
Hope you have a lovely day!

Oh, thank you so much! I adore these. Love words for place and environment and am savouring all of them like gems in my mouth.

Sean is how the name is spelled in gaelge/irish/gaelic, but Shaun is a popular anglicized version (in wales too). Shawn is more common as a surname or a girl's name. If I had my way, I'd have Shawn spell his name Shaun in the show (actually if I wrote it I'd have it sean) & then when he transed his gender he would change it from shawn to shaun.
My point is, Shawn is a girl's name too so trans shawn confirmed

What are those extra descriptors (i.e. Buidhe, Ballach, Caoch, Roe, Duff, etc.) representing when they appear in names in the more generation/history focused works? Was a nickname that historically common when one was irish nobility?
Go raibh maith agat! Táim sa Gaeltacht ag staidear Gaeilge, mar sin de sin, usaidim mé Gaelge, ní Bearla. Is feidir liom é a bheith a aistrigh as Bearla, ach bá fearr liom a bheith tú a usáid Google Translate.
(Thank you! I am in the Gaeltacht studying Irish, therefore, I'm using Irish, not English. I can translate it into English, but I would prefer you to use Google Translate.)
Deirtear iad "cognomen" as Bearla (agus roimh sin, Laidin)-- usaidtear a idirhealu a dheanamh idir morán duine a bheith an t-ainm céanna agus sloinne céanna acu. (Agus, fadó, bhí níl sloinne ann, mar sin de, bhí siad níos mó tabachtach.) Duirt siad rud éigin faoi an duine -- tréithe pearsanta, ceannaithe, pearsantach, nó stair. I ré na meánaoise, bhí clú tabhachtach, agus bhí clú ag gach duine, go h-airithe duine uasal. Déan duine aon rud, maith nó olc, agus gremmaigh sé fein dóibh. Agus mura bhí miníu eile ar n-ainm, rinneadh miníu. Mar shampla, i gCóir Anmann. 
Mar sin de, an chéad fear cheile Gránuaile: Donal "an Coghadh" uí Flaithbertaigh, as Bearla "Donal of the Battle O'Flaherty" agus a chol ceathrair, "Donal Mac Ruairi uí Flaithbertaig.” 
De réir "Annals of Loch Cé", bhí Domhnall "Finn" Ó Flaithbertaig i 1422, agus fuair sé bás....ó mic an Domhnaill Ó Flaithbertaig eile! Is céanna an t-ainm iad, ach is éagsúil na daoine iad.
Agus de réir sceala Meánaoiseach, tá, mar shampla, Eochaid Airem, Eochaid Ollathair, Eochaid Bres, Eochaid Mugmedóin, Eochaid mac Eirc, ocus eile ann. 
Ach, úsáid gnáthdhaoine é, i.e. daoine cosuil liomsa agus tusa. tá ainmneacha cosúil le "Sean Óg" nó "Paidi Óg" ar go leor pubanna, agus bitear ainmeacha i scéala béaloidis cosuil le "Padraig Ruad". Is “ainm aitiúil” as Bearla "local name" ainm do na ainmneacha sin, agus is iad ainm coitiana sa Ghaeltacht. (Ach sa Ghaeltacht amháin.) 
Feicimid ainmeacha cosuil le sin in áiteanna eile, mar shampla, London 19úr. Tá ainmeacha aitiúil ag íospartaigh Seaic an Réabthóir, mar shampla "Liz Fada", as Bearla "Long Liz" le Elizabeth Stride, "Máire Dorcha" as Bearla "Dark Mary" agus "Emma Finn", "Fair Emma" le Mary Jane Kelly, "Annie Dorcha", "Dark Annie" le Annie Chapman, etc. Agus bhí Máire amháin bean Éireannach de an gruppa sin.

Les Civilisations Paléomagos
La découverte pour les humains du monde magique suite à l’Événement de Stonehenge ne fut pas le seul choc majeur qui suivit l’Éveil de la Magie.
Les multiples barrières de dissimulations tombées révélèrent également les Mers, que même les magus avaient oubliés… mais surtout de multiples ruines à travers le monde, prédatant toutes les civilisations connues!
Ces ruines, il s’avéra vite, étaient les vestiges des civilisations Paléomagos, peuples d’Homo Magicus vivant durant le Mésolitique, et ayant disparu au Néolithique.
Ces civilisations faisaient toutes un grand usage de magie, à un niveau équivalent, voire parfois supérieur au niveau de connaissance et de maîtrise de la magie actuel, et même un niveau technique et culturel proche des Homo Sapiens��durant l’Antiquité. De plus, l’usage de magie fait que ces civilisations pouvaient voyager et communiquer à travers le monde avec une facilité qui ne sera plus vue jusqu’à la Révolution Industrielle. Même si on avait perdu tout souvenir d’elles, ces civilisations avaient clairement laissé leur trace dans l’Histoire, puisqu’on trouve encore, des millénaires après leur disparition, des vestiges de leur culture dans les civilisations humaines ayant suivi.
Liste des Civilisations Paléomagos:
Agartha
localisation : Ouest Asie, principalement dans l’Himalaya jusqu’en Inde et au Népal mais également jusqu’en Mongolie et en Ouzbékistan langue : Samskrtam Agarthan écriture : Siddham Agarthan style architectural : rappelant des temples hindous Il s’agit d’une civilisation presque entièrement souterraine, si bien que les ruines auxquels on a pu avoir accès sont très bien préservées. En contrepartie, la découverte et l’accès à ces ruines est parmi les plus compliqués.
Les Agarthans étaient un peuple vivant relativement isolé, ne faisant que peu de commerce, et très spirituel, cherchant à se rapprocher toujours plus de l’essence de la magie. C’est probablement pour cela qu’ils vivaient sous terre, cherchant à se rapprocher plus des points telluriques où la magie était la plus puissante, mais aussi la plus instable. Leur utilisation de la magie s’appuyait largement sur les gemmes taillées, faisant de leurs zones magiques des œuvres d’art étincelantes.
Avalon
localisation : Europe du Nord-Ouest, de l’Islande à la Bretagne et de l’Irlande jusqu’en Suède langue : Gaelg Avalonan écriture : Ogham Avalonan style architectural : rappelant du celte et viking Les Avalonans était un peuple très spirituel, mais ouvert aux autres cultures dans son ensemble. Religieux, la divinité principale de leur panthéon était une déesse de la Magie et de la Flore. Ils construisaient donc énormément en symbiose avec la nature. Leurs ruines ne sont pas faciles à trouver, car les constructions les plus durables sont enfouies pour se rapprocher des lignes telluriques, tandis que le reste était fait pour être difficilement différenciable de la nature. Des recherches à Stonehenge ont révélé que le site avait été bâti au-dessus d’une place religieuse Avalonane, d’où l’Événement de Stonehenge a probablement été déclenché d’une manière ou d’une autre… Les écrits à travers le monde semblent s’accorder pour dire que les Avalonans étaient un peuple ayant un don pour la Divination inné.
Atlantis
localisation : Bassin méditerranéen langue : Ellinika Atlantida écriture : Alfavito Atlantida style architectural : rappelant du style gréco-romain antique Peu de ruines ont pour l’instant été explorés, car cette civilisation possédait probablement les barrières les plus sophistiquées, difficiles à désarmer et dangereuses à forcer. Des rares ruines ouvertes, il est clair qu’ils sont l’influence principale derrière l’architecture gréco-romaine. Ils paraissaient avoir une approche quasi scientifique de la magie, n’ayant quasiment aucune notion de religion et étaient très commerçants. Ils ont probablement créé les fondamentaux de l’Arithmancie.
Hyperborea
localisation : de la Suède jusqu’en Corée, couvrant principalement la Russie et l’Europe de l’Est langue : Hyperboroi Yazik écriture : Cyril Hyperboreal style architectural : rappelant les fort militaires XVIIe siècle C’était un peuple martial, très ordonné, voyant plutôt d’un mauvais œil ceux s’intéressant de trop près aux lignes et points telluriques, car ils étaient considérés comme trop dangereux, puisque la magie environnante en est plus puissante, mais surtout plus instable. Ils commerçaient assez peu et ont provoqué des conflits avec la plupart de leurs voisins. Les rares ruines identifiées pour l’instant étaient toutes des forts, massivement fortifiés aussi bien magicalement que physiquement, ayant probablement inspiré les premiers châteaux au Moyen Âge et confirmant leur côté très belliqueux.
Iram
localisation : Moyen-Orient, de la Turquie à l’Éthiopie, de la Libye au Pakistan langue : Iram-Gi écriture : Cuneis Irami style architectural : rappelant Pétra et les villes troglodytes Tout aussi commerçants que leurs voisins Atlantes, les Iramis avaient en revanche une approche bien plus artistique de la magie, et sont ceux qui ont laissé le plus de recueils écrits de l’époque dans leurs ruines. En outre, la désertification de la région a enfoui nombre de ruines, les rendant difficiles à retrouver. C’était un peuple troglodyte, rendant leurs ruines d’autant plus délicates à retrouver, mais le travail fait dans les montagnes et autres ravins où on a retrouvé leurs traces est absolument époustouflant.
Lemurie
localisation : Sub-Sahara et Océan Indien langue : Al’Lemuria écriture : Abjad’ Lemuria style architectural : navires de tous types
On ne sait que peu de choses des Lemures, car très peu de ruines ont été retrouvées. Cependant, tout indique que c’était un peuple de marins, très doué en astronomie et vivant plus en mer qu’à terre, leurs navires ayant été de vraies villes flottantes. Malheureusement, cette vie sur l’eau fait que presque tout a été perdu de leur civilisation, à l’exception de quelques restes très dégradés par le temps. Cependant, les rumerus veulent qu’il existe encore certains de leurs navires, si bien protégés qu’ils n’ont pas encore été retrouvés, et que ce seraient eux qui sont à l’origine de la plupart des légendes de navires fantômes.
Mu
Localisation : Amérique du Nord, mais également Nouvelle-Zélande et Australie langue : Tjukurrpa-Kapi écriture : Tjukurrpa-Waru style architectural : rappelant les ruines Incas
Ayant entretenu des liens étroits avec les Avalonans, le peuple de Mu avait une civilisation similaire, mais donnant la part belle à la Faune plutôt qu’à la Flore, et que leurs temples n’étaient pas sous terre mais au cœur des montagnes. Il est fort probable que les premiers Bestiamihis viennent de cette civilisation.
Tiwanaku
localisation : Amérique du Sud et Centrale langue : Tsagali Mu écriture : Sequoyah Mu style architectural : rappelant les ruines mayas C’est le seul peuple dont des ruines ont été découvertes avant même l’Événement de Stonehenge, bien que, bien entendu, personne à l’époque n’ait cru à la datation qui paraissait fantaisiste des lieux. C’est peut-être le peuple le plus différent, cherchant au contraire à s’élever vers les cieux en s’établissant sur de hauts plateaux montagneux plutôt qu’à vivre sous terre comme le faisaient nombre de leurs contemporains. Ils pratiquaient énormément la magie rituelle, et sont l’exemple typique que l’on donne pour prévenir des dangers de la magie noire : on pense en effet que cette civilisation s’est écroulée avant les autres suite à une pratique trop intensive de rituels dangereux, ayant rendu une bonne partie de leur civilisation folle ou corrompue.
Yamatai
localisation : Japon, Chine et Asie du Sud-Est langue : Yamatai Guo écriture : Kan Yamatai style architectural : rappelant les châteaux japonais Cette civilisation était probablement la plus isolationniste, n’ayant quasiment pas de liens avec les autres peuples de l’époque et se contentant de commerce interne. Ils avaient une bonne maîtrise des rituels, et des lois très strictes à ce sujet pour éviter les cas de corruption et de folie.
C’était également un peuple spirituel, respectueux de la magie qu’ils possédaient et tout à fait conscient de sa dangerosité. Là encore, leur architecture a été adoptée, d’abord part les Youkais, puis par les populations non magiques de la région bien plus tard.
