Taranta

Continuing on with the Mystic Union, Taranta! Taranta is the most technologically advanced of the Mystic countries, on par with Ubria but a little less flashy. That is, until the apocalypse hit, but I'll get to that in a minute. Taranta is home to the Arachnids, half-spider people. (Like a centaur but spider instead of horse, if that makes sense.) Like Elves, Arachnids have no direct connection to any element, but they have just enough of a connection to Air that allows them to learn. Taranta is a very protective people, and would gladly do anything to assist their allies.

About 25 years ago, a group of Arachnids set out to explore the neighboring island to the south, unsure what it was and confused since it's not on any official maps. What they found was Demotia Timberland, which I'll go into more detail on in it's own post. But essentially, they found an island full of monsters and mutated people from all over the world. In their struggle to get back to their boat, the crew was caught in a small horde of stumbling and snarling people littered with cuts and scrapes. They'd escaped, thought next to nothing of it, and sailed home as fast as they could.

What they didn't realize however, was that through scratches on their arms and legs, two of them had made blood to blood contact with those on the island. These two individuals had unknowingly been infected with the Corruption, a virus that latches onto the brain and takes control of it's host. The Corruption is spread through blood to blood contact, and has next to no obvious symptoms until it's far too late. The Corruption spread, slowly taking over Taranta and leaving it a wasteland. Survivors who didn't flee to Hados built a wall around Taranta to protect those outside, most locking themselves in as well to attempt to save their home.

Taranta's patron god is Rinera, Goddess of Craftmanship and creation. During the apocalypse, she has been aiding survivors where she can, helping them rebuild shelters and weave bandages. The temple to Rinera is built on Taranta's highest hill, and has become a point of shelter for survivors to seek safety in it's walls.

Before the apocalypse, Taranta was a commune like Hados, having mimicked their governance when Taranta became it's own country centuries ago. Throughout history, Hados and Taranta have been twin countries, keeping similar if not identical laws and methods of governance over time.

That's all for now, thanks for reading! Byeeee

Ragni, convulsioni e deliri: la musica della Taranta

[dizazter-dragoon]

my first tag! thankyou @millennialmagicalgirlmha you made my week ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´- I love this combo because it sounds like we're gonna dance a tammurriata, a loud swooping drum dance (usually with castanets with bright red ribbons attached), in which you match your partner's movements as they happen in the moment. It's very spontaneous and very fun, and when the dancers are drift-compatible, it is one of the most magical things to witness!*

I'm still very new to Tumblr and I don't want to annoy people: So Open Tag! Don't have to be a moot to add your own \o/ I wanna hear your music

*Kiki and I could write a thesis on why we headcanon Keigo Takami as part southern mediterranean (from the textured caramel blond hair, Candelora/Mamma Schiavona and how it fits really well with his backstory in corrupt hero society, "the coffee here sucks" to the liberation army guy, "ay, you gonna finish that food?", the facial expressions when he's annoyed, just a lot of small things that added up for us over time)

If you're interested in taranta music, La Notte della Taranta was last month and is up on youtube.

A day will come when Angelina will be regarded as one of the best stage performers this country has ever seen, but imo we can happily start saying it now already

Consuelo Alfieri has just released her first original song and apparently on June 30th she's releasing a full album! I'm very happy to hear these news so I wanted to share it.

Consuelo Alfieri is a singer who sings traditional music style from her motherland Salento (the heel in the Italian peninsula's boot) in Salentine language and sometimes also Griko language. She's most well known for singing in the Notte della Taranta (a music festival based on Salentine and Griko traditional music).

Judging by this first single, this new album is going to be more fusion music. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how she explores that as well.
