Residents
A nation of hexapod dragons, who stand around 10 feet tall and are largely a bluish-grey colour. This gives them camouflage against the sky in which they spend most of their time. They have four permanent horns, two larger and two slightly smaller, on the backs of their skull, 
slightly bluer, more matte underbelly 
Spikes along spine and tail

===Language===
The main language spoken in Īfǟsū is īfAoh. It is a reverse boustrophedon with an unusually large vowel inventory. 
==== Second Language ====
The National Representative of Īfǟsū speaks Tade Taadži. Children are also learning this language in school alongside Īvåo̊r̍. 
===Religion ===
When you die, your essence joins ĀrĀīĀī /är̥äiäi/ 
Āw̄gr̀̇ looked at the world and found it to be lacking in order. It tried to order the world itself, but found that this was an arduous task, and one that called for a keener eye than it could muster. As such, it decided to create smaller dragons to help. 
With each of its four paws and 16 fingers, it created them in its image, with an aspect from each. With its front right paw, it made them from earth, put the sky in their lungs, fire in their chests, and water in their veins. With its front left paw, it imbued them with love and hatred, and blew life and death into them. With its back right paw, it gave them the means by which to bring order - crafting, building, farming and cooking - and with its back left paw, the tools to implement those means; hunting, foraging and exploring, and the fitness with which to employ them.

Āw̄gr̀̇ carries the world beneath it. The sun is it lighting and heating the world with its fiery breath. Earthquakes happen when it temporarily lets go with one paw to shake it out. When he dies the green egg (the gas giant the planet is a moon of) will hatch to replace him. 
The religion is not organised.
===Values and Principles ===
Parents are expected to provide for their children for life, if the latter so desire - you bring a child into this world, it's your responsibility. The vast majority of children do not rely on their parents forever, however, and many great artists and thinkers have been permitted to flourish thanks to this practise.
Clothes are unheard of; genitals are nothing to be ashamed of. 
Fitness is considered a moral duty - to be unfit is to be ungrateful for the body Āw̄gr̀̇ has given you.
War is viewed as a necessary evil, required to fulfil their duty of spreading order - ie, spreading themselves and their culture.
===Traditions ===
Sports - races are common, most with an emphasis on agility over outright speed.
Yearly competitions
Every year they have a festival of order, everyone brings food in multiples of 16, poetry performances are flown
===Art ===
Īvåo̊r̍ is typically written as a reverse boustrophedon. In poetry, however, the direction is left up to the writer's intent. Writing to the right implies a sense of peace, to the left, anger, up, happiness, and down, sadness. One can write in any direction, not just in those four directions, to imply a mix of the two emotions you're aiming between. If your desired writing direction would lead you through text you've already written, so be it - the mess of characters is harmonious with the mess of emotions.
Poetry that loops or circles is common due to its aesthetically pleasing nature, as is using refrains by writing into and out of the same line of text repeatedly. In the case of the latter, the intended order of reading, if there is one, is usually shown by the relative placement of the lines - bottom left first.
A frequently used form of poetry is 4 verses of 4 lines, each made of 16 syllables. Even numbers, powers of 4 in particular, are significant in the culture, being seen as right and holy. This form is spoken in trochaic octameter.
It's hard to rhyme in Īvåo̊r̍ thanks to the 12 or more vowels, so that's not really a concern. Houses are constructed from stone that's been glued together with sand melted by their breath, making their villages look like frozen lava fields. Many dragons will use their breath on the thick molten rock to produce architectural features, such as blowing it into spires and awnings. Natural caves are also used, often with additional construction outside and in. Buildings are often circular in shape.
===Government ===
The leader of the clan is the child of the previous leader, by default, once the previous leader dies or abdicates. If they don't have a child, the village votes on the new leader.
Every year, any dragon who believes they can lead better may challenge the current leader 
Laws are enforced by the people, with any witness to a crime required to raise a hue and cry. All those who hear it must repeat it, and all able-bodied dragons must report to its source to help out.
At the start of a cycle, the names of all able-bodied dragons are put in a pool. At each sunset a new night watch is picked out, and they must guard the town overnight, acting as lookouts, fire watch, etc. After serving, their name is removed from the pool and set aside. To ensure ne'er-do-wells can't bribe the night watch, they're picked out just before they start their shift, and when there are 16 or fewer names remaining in the pool, all the ballots are returned to the pool and shuffled.
