Dilunian language

Dilunian Inscription from Arcalise, Beledge

**Dilunian** is an ancient Datric language group centered around the Dilun Plateau, north of the Gau Mountains, and east of the Plateau. It was spoken in parts of modern Beledge and consists of two known extinct languages, **Cadorese** and **Rathelian**. Both languages are tribal in origin and were not spoken by any advanced kingdoms or in any large settlements. Cadorese is believed to be the youngest of the two languages, with Rathelian assumed to have disappeared when the Zafuk colony of Pylia was established on the eastern coast of Beledge. The language group went extinct c. 100 BCE, assumed to have occurred as the Ropan Republic expanded westwards to Creubia.

Both Cadorese and Rathelian are known from few scriptures, but both languages appear to be very similar, using the same letters for each sound except for c/g, z, m, and o/u sounds. Dilunian languages appear to use the same alphabet as old Auvocanic languages, suggesting that the Dilunian Datric languages either found the Auvocanic alphabet better, or did not use an alphabet beforehand, using only sounds instead. Both scenarios are equally likely seeing as Dilunian is the oldest known Datric language and likely predates the Old Auvocanic alphabets.

The inscription from Arcalise is the only inscription that is confidently translated into the Ropan alphabet, and based on phonetics of the modern Datric languages and the spacing of the inscribed letters, the translation is thought to be spaced out in one of these three ways:

**Cel oos'nav tsiv stho / Celoos 'navtsiv stho / Celoo s'nav tsiv stho**

The meaning of the words are uncertain as both modern Datric languages do not have words that closely sound like or are spelt similarly.

One theory suggests that the Thedesian word '*kelon*' which means river, is related to the first word, whether that be *Cel*, *Celoos*, or *Celoo*, but it is just a theory. It is also uncertain if Dilunian uses the typical Datric pronunciation of the letter 'c' which typically comes out as a 'k' sound, or if it takes inspiration from typical Auvocanic which makes the letter 'c' sound like a 'ch' sound.
Clicamelinae

## Families

see text

**Clicamelinae** is one of the three subfamilies of the rodent family Suridae and includes the clicamels and sand slaurs. The subfamily consists of a total of four genera divided into two tribes. In total there are six confirmed species belonging to this subfamily, four of which belong to the **Clicamelini** tribe, and two of which to the **Holurini** tribe.

All species of this group are adapted for living in arid conditions where sand is present. These species counteract the harsh environments they live in by being nocturnal and hiding in burrows during the day to keep cool. They are also adapted to last longer without water than other closely related rodents.

At its height, the County of Beledge included territory of the modern states of southern Touloue, Gau, and Layth. In 1165, a political marriage unified the County of Beledge with its northeastern neighbor, the Kingdom of Bemenia, forming the Kingdom of Beledge.
Dubious Paleozoic Species

This article contains a list of all Paleozoic species that are uncertain or have yet to be validated to be an actual species.

## Arthropods

### Kebolchacaris

Kebolchacaris is a dubious genus of Multipoda Arthropod that was supposedly found in the Marwane Oasis. Though the age of the fossil and the rock of the Marwane Oasis line up, the composition of the rock the fossil is embedded in is different than that of the formation, more so the fossil was recovered from smugglers, so the exact origin of the fossil is unknown. The quality of the fossil is also relatively poor compared to other basal Multipods, suggesting that the fossil was tampered with or is not a valid genus to begin with.

## Triopsians

### Patognathus

Patognathus is a dubious genus of Eutripterian Triopsians that was found in the Pato Oasis, however, studies of the rock Patognathus originated from suggest that it was not from the Chapatanian aged rock of the Pato Oasis, but younger Carnilidian aged Rock. The quality of the fossil and the uncertain origin of the species has given it a dubious placement.

## Crinozoans

### Kebolchacrinus

Kebolchacrinus is a dubious genus of Cystidae Crinozoan that was supposedly found in the Marwane Oasis. It was found in the same rock as the dubious Multipod genus, Kebolchacaris. Although the quality of the specimen is sufficient to identify if it is a new genus, the fact that it was smuggled, and the age is unknown makes its exact placement uncertain.

Duncas

The **Duncas** were a Ropan-era Tenlamic people. In the 5th century they appeared to originate somewhere in eastern Poran somewhere in the Naporo Basin. Later in the 5th century, during the "Age of Migrations" the Duncas migrated to southern Poran with the appearance of the Qun Empire. During the fall of Western Ropan Empire, the Duncas made their way further west towards modern Auvocan, and by the year 492, possessed a large kingdom within the former territory of the Ropan Empire.

The Duncas are closely related to the Doncas, which also took advantage of the collapse of the Ropan Empire, forming their own Donca Kingdom in Creubia.

By the year 547, the Duncas in the Auvocan territory collapsed as the Yithuzine Empire began to reclaim the land on their quest towards Ropa. Along with the Yithuzines, the territory was also taken over by other small Tenlamic kingdoms and tribes to the north and west, primarily the Unorians and the Bemenians (then the Colzona Kingdom). Despite their short 50-year reign over the region, the affects they had on the territory is evident as seen several churches, currency, and other unique ruins and artifacts.
Common Dolican

## Species

Parsobates parsobates

The **common dolican** (*Parsobates parsobates*) is an endangered primate in the dolican family, Parsobatidae.

## Taxonomy

There are two subspecies of common dolican

* Continental common dolican (P. p. tropicalis)
* Sukimakese common dolican (P. p. islandicus)

## Description

The fur coloring of the common dolican can vary, with populations varying from black, brown, grey or white. The hands and the face are usually light in color, being black or a very dark grey. Both sexes are similar in size and neither sex has a higher probability of being each color.

Dolicans propel themselves through trees using only their arms. This locomotion allows very fast movement through the forests they are native too. Reflecting this form of locomotion, they have curved fingers, elongated hands and extremely long arms and short legs. As with all other apes, they have less vertebrae, resulting in an absent tail.

## Distribution

Common dolicans are found throughout southeastern Tanisea, being found in the countries of Buie and Igeoru, including the island of Sukimaki. They live throughout the tropical rainforests that cover the region. They are found throughout all altitudes.

## Behavior

Dolicans are diurnal and arboreal, spending most of their lives in trees, rarely coming to the ground. When they do come to the ground, the walk bipedally, holding their long arms above their heads for balance. Groups of common dolicans consist of one monogamous family, with one breeding male and one breeding female. The rest of the group consists of offspring, who once reach sexual maturity, are expelled from the group to form their own. However, some populations possess more than one breeding pair, increasing genetic diversity and reducing infanticide.

### Diet

The common dolican is herbivorous, with around 60% of its diet consisting of fruits, if not more. Leaves constitute for less than 30% of its diet, often between 30 and 20%. The remainder of its diet consists of diplects and flowers.

## Conservation

Common dolicans are endangered in many ways, being most threatened by habitat destruction and deforestation. In some culture, they are killed for their meat. Construction of roads, pastures, plantations, and new villages and towns are some of the biggest threats leading to the decrease of population.

The **cosmopolitan sea porican** (*Chelonia cratys*) or sometimes the **common sea porican**, is a species of porican in the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in the genus ***Chelonia***. It has the broadest range of any living sea porican, being found in all oceans.

Like other sea poricans, they have a streamlined body and large flippers to propel them through the water. However, unlike other members of its family, the cosmopolitan sea porican is predominantly herbivorous. It uses its beak to bite the tips off of various seagrasses, which keeps the seagrass healthy.

## Description

The cosmopolitan sea porican looks similar to other sea poricans, having a streamlined body, a beaked head at the end of a short neck, and large flippers that are well-adapted for swimming. Adult cosmopolitan sea poricans can grow up to 1.4 m (4.5 ft) long. The average weight of an individual varies between 80 - 150 kg (176.3 - 330.6 lbs) and the average carapace is around 80 - 110 cm (2.6 - 3.6 ft) in length. The largest recorded specimen measured 132 cm (4.3 ft) in carapace length and weighed around 206 kg (454.1 lbs).

Unlike other members of the family Cheloniidae, and other sea poricans in general, the cosmopolitan sea porican has a shorter beak. Its beak is also unhooked. Otherwise, like other sea poricans, the cosmopolitan sea porican cannot pull its head or flippers into its shell.

Individuals can vary in color, with younger individuals being lighter in color than older individuals. Their carapace is usually black or generally dark in color, although the color can often appear almost green due to algae which grows on their backs. Their underside if lighter than the top of their bodies, usually being tan or white compared to the brown or dark grey of their upper body.

## Distribution

   The cosmopolitan sea porican, as the name suggests the species has a cosmopolitan range. It is found in every ocean, predominantly in the Zothca Ocean and Gamtis Ocean, as well as parts of the Indal and Porralis Oceans. As with other sea poricans, nesting grounds are found mainly on islands and occasionally along the coast.

It is both the northern most and southern most sea porican.
Common brachypus

## Species

Platyrhynchus brachypus

The **common brachypus** (*Platyrhynchus brachypus*) is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to northern Galand. It is one of the two living species of monotreme in the family Platyrhynchidae.

## Etymology

The name brachypus is Zafuk for 'wide foot', in reference to its large fore and hind feet.

The scientific name comes from Ancient Zafuk, with the generic name p*latyrhnchus* meaning 'flat beak' and the specific name brachypus referring to its feet.

## Description

The brachypus has a broad body and a wide tail, both of which that are covered in brown, waterproof fur. Their feet are webbed, aiding them in swimming. They possess a long, flat beak that they use to feed.

The species is sexually dimorphic, with males being around 50 cm (19.6 in) long, and females being just under 45 cm (17.7 in). They typically weigh between 1 to 2.5 kg (2.2 - 5.5 lbs), with males being heavier than females.

Their beaks are lined with electroreceptors, which they use to sense prey. They are one of the only mammals (besides the related wide-beaked brachypus) that use electrolocation to find prey.

## Behavior

The common brachypus is a semiaquatic species, living in burrows above ground which they dig, and swimming in the water to hunt for food. They are carnivores, feeding on worms, larvae, and other invertebrates that they dig out of riverbeds with their claws and beak.

They live in burrows above ground where they build a nest. During mating season, these burrows can extend for several meters. They lay an average of two eggs but can lay between one to four. These eggs are similar to a reptile's, being leathery to the touch. The egg remains in the uterus for around 28 days before it is laid, and then externally incubated for another 10 days before hatching.

## Distribution

The common brachypus is found throughout bodies of water, including lakes and rivers in northern Galand. They are found in subtropical and tropical forests and grasslands.
Cyclops (Genus)

## Species

Cyclops puyskiensis

Cyclops (Sy-klops) is a genus of Cyclopsians that is known from the Early Rimunian ("Stage 2") of Natostan (Gee Oblast) in the Puysk Formation. Cyclops is used to determine the border between the preceding Oavyuian and "Stage 2" stages of the Oxisian Series.

## Etymology

The generic name is derived from the Zafuk (Cyclops) meaning 'one eye'.

## Description

Cyclops, like most cyclopsians possess a single eye on their headshield (or cephalon). Cyclops was a very early member of the Cyclopsia class. Despite it being an early member of the class, it still possessed a cephalon (armored headshield). However, compared to later cyclopsians, Cyclops did not possess a thorax or pygidium, leaving the rest of its soft body exposed.

Common Stinleon

## Species

Dolotis oxuthrix

The **common stinleon** (*Dolotis oxuthrix*) is a species of large rodent in the family Dolotidae. It is native to western Ontura in the sub-Jaliopongan savannahs and forests.

## Etymology

The specific name *oxuthrix* is a mix of the Ancient Zafuk words *oxus*, meaning sharp, and *thrix*, meaning hair.

## Description

The common stinleon is the largest rodent native to Ontura, measuring between 34 - 60 cm (13.3 - 23.6 inches) in total length from head to the base of the tail, with the tail adding another 12 - 14 cm (4.7 - 5.5 inches). They vary in weight between 8 to 16 kg (17.6 to 35.2 lbs) with larger specimens weighing over 25 kg (55.1 lbs). Males and females are similar in size and do not exhibit noticeable sexual dimorphism.

They are heavily built animals, with their backs and tail being covered in thin, hollow spines which are up to 35 cm (13.7 inches) in length. These spines are used for defense against predators. Otherwise, the animal is covered in thick, long hairs that are dark in color, being a dark brown or black.

The eyes and ears of the animal are rather small, and the whiskers are mobile and short.

## Distribution and habitat

The common stinleon is found throughout western Ontura. They inhabit the grasslands and savannahs of western Ontura of the sub-Jalioponga regions. They are commonly found around rivers and other bodies of fresh water.
Drurokuidae

## Families

* Druroku

**Drurokuidae** is a family of large flightless muins belonging to the order **Drurokuiformes** that are native to the island of Macnea. The family contains one living species, the druroku (*Druroku rudis*). The druroku is most closely related to the ratas of New Nana and Cansaotome as well as the mallodas of Hera and Maria.

The exact origin of the Drurokuidae on Macnea is uncertain due to the poor fossil record of the island. There is a significant gap of fossils from the Late Vasiereous to the Late Pleistocene, leaving few Cainozoic fossils. One theory that has since been disproven was that the drurokuids, along with other palaeognath muins diversified from a common ancestor after the split of Taslandia, however, there is no fossil evidence of palaeognath muins during the time Taslandia existed, nor any closely related muins to the infraclass.

A second, more viable theory, is that the ancestor of both the ratas and drurokuids were capable of flight, similar to the modern mallodas. This would allow these ancestors to fly from the continent of Maltis to Ontura, which were closer together during the start of the Cainozoic. The main flaw with this theory is that there is no fossil evidence of palaeognaths closely related to the ratas or drurokuids that were capable of flight during the time.
Eastern Dolican

## Species

Hertosus orientalis

The **eastern dolican** (*Hertosus orientalis*) is an endangered species of ape native to southeastern Tanisea.

Dolican

## Families

* Hertosus
* Parsobates

**Dolicans** are apes in the family **Parsobatidae** that are native to Tanisea. Dolicans are characterized by having significantly longer arms than legs, using their long legs to swing through trees. The live in tropical rainforests throughout southeastern Tanisea.

Dolicans are sometimes called lesser apes, due to their much smaller size, low sexual dimorphism, and by not making nests. They, like other apes, lack a tail.

## Etymology

The Bostanish word "dolican" is a borrowing of the Bontirish name for the animal, which was likely borrowed from the native Manang Ami word.

## Evolutionary history

Genetic and molecular studies show that dolicans are most closely related to apes like the kangireeda, ganzee, and elves, placing them in the family **Parsobatidae**, which is sister to the family Elvinidae, which includes the previously mentioned animals. Together, the two families make up the superfamily Elvinoidea, also known as the apes.
