Treks across the harsh Khalee Plains are both dangerous and fairly boring. To keep their minds sharp, Yădakk caravans pass the time with a rousing game called "Jikhij", a board game that forces players to use knowledge of their surroundings and encourages them to be aware of nearby food, water, and shade.

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Yădakk Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Yădakk, our favorite road-building merchants!

Not enough Yădakk in your life? We're having discounts on all Yădakk merchandise at https://shop.midjiwan.com until January 31st!

It's here again - Concordance Day and a new blurb-based art contest!

(If you want to pass the recap and just want to get to the art contest portion, just skip to the end)

What is Concordance Day? It's the big holiday that all Polytopians celebrate, which commemorates the end of the Ancient Polytopian Civil War a long, long time ago! Parties, feasts, and a short window of peace between tribes! But, for us, every year at about this time, we like to dedicate a few weeks to a lore blurb and an art contest about the Ancients (but don't let us stop you from parties, feasts, and temporary peace).

Who were the Ancients? These people!

Killing a Baerion with a spear or bow is already difficult, but what about the crazy souls who dress up like one, sneak into their lairs, and attempt to kill them with their "bear" hands? This, and other impossible challenges, make up the initiation into the Baergøffoz, the Bardur's elite fighting force.

Hello Polytopians,

When Vengir families aren’t pillaging some city or sharpening their swords, they like to spend time vacationing. A common tourist attraction is the misty Kithkga Boneyards, a Rhino-Pig preserve where Vengirian citizens can feed the animals and learn more about the history of the mighty Rhino-Pig.

Hello Polytopians,

No one could have expected what happened on that fateful day as a band of Polytopians ventured into the Cymantini Forest, forever to be changed by their encounter with the Ciru Bug. Normally parasites, the Ciru Bugs now live in mutualism with their new hosts, lending their enhanced senses for food and protection.

No one really remembers why the Hoodrick and the Bardur split apart so long ago, but this split formed one of the Square's most special and bitter inter-tribal rivalries. Ranging from brutal raids to petty displays of superiority, the Hood-Bard Rivalry shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Hoodrick Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Hoodrick, our favorite baked good-eating Bardur haters!
