Suvq Eyiveiq

Suvq Eyiveiq (/suʋkx ɛi'vɛik/; sook ay-VAKE) was an island nation on Etheros. The island remained cut off from greater Etherian history, enjoying relative solitude and isolation from the rest of the planet.

History

Unknown to the residents of Suvq Eyiveiq, they lived on a landmass that could not be tracked down due to the magical after-effects of Moon's corruption on their soil. The island became impossible to see from the outside and a tugging compulsion to turn around and leave dug into the minds of those that attempted to approach the island, in a sort of reverse siren's song. The Ritvinians and Ousuolsons were unaffected by this persuasion due to their years of existence upon the island, instead believing that they must have been the only sentient creatures that resided upon a fairly barren world.

Two races grew on the island, yet in their eyes they are of the same land and viewed each other as sister races, and as a result had few major disputes with each other. Due to their physiology, the Ritvinians struggled greatly with remaining in the sunlight, and their sensitive skin and eyes made them prefer the comfort of their cave homes in the pursuit of ingenuity so they might one day leave and see the most assuredly barren world beyond. They believed that this world must exist, as if it did not they were sure that some other species would have contacted them.

Suvq Eyiveiq experienced unique weather phenomena in that for one month in the year, the island experienced no light from the suns. Due to this phenomena, the Ritvinians would take opportunity of this time to exit their caves and join up with the Ousuolsons in joyous festivals, sharing the knowledge they have learned and in turn enjoying the arts and food from the surface of the island. Both races owed much of their existence to each other, and although they only interacted with the Ousuolsons for 11 months in the year, they held a great deal of respect and admiration for each other and looked forward longingly to the Brightest Night.

The Long Day is a phenomenon on the flip side when the island experienced a month of perpetual sunlight and exposure. During this time the Ousuolsons often found themselves the most inspired and productive, sleeping far less and spending as much time as possible in the company of one another.
