The Moon may be special to most Polytopians, but it's the Ai-Mo who have a special respect for the Sun. Unlike other tribes, the Ai-Moyan calendar is based on the Sun, which is tracked and revered by a prestigious sect of astronomers, cosmologists, and priests known as the "Sun Speakers".

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Ai-Mo Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Ai-Mo, our favorite meditating monks!

Not enough Ai-Mo in your life? We're having discounts on all Ai-Mo merchandise at https://shop.midjiwan.com until February 28th!

Now, tell us what you think about the Ai-Mo in the comments!

P.S. Thanks for the art, u/Random-Person-45!

The moment you’ve all been waiting for! Years of planning, re-designs, delays, and development have led us to this momentous occasion - Diplomacy! Well, the beta for Diplomacy, at least. You see, this new technology adds some fairly large changes to the game and how it operates, and we wanted to put it into an extra long beta test period so that you, our wonderful fans, can give it a try and tell us what you think so that we can make it the best it can be!

What Sorts of Changes? We’re going to take a deep dive into all that the Diplomacy tech has to offer, as well as other changes that we’ve done with this update. If you'd like to just get into the beta, instructions to do so are at the bottom, but we encourage you to read the post first.
This is going to be a long post, so be ready.

Forced conformity was key in the Empire of the Ancients, with strict rules about clothes and behavior. Factions arose to combat this tyranny, demanding their own land and independence! Dissent turned to riots, and riots into hostilities, and this great empire was falling apart - the Ancient Civil War had begun.

Hello Polytopians,

We chosen a winner - user lisavda who handed us this amazing submission!

Thank you to everyone who submitted their artwork!

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,

It's the Bardur Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Bardur, our favorite winter survivalists!

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

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,

It's the Vengir Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Vengir, our favorite angry metallurgists!

Not enough Vengir in your life? We're having discounts on all Vengir merchandise at https://shop.midjiwan.com until November 30th!
