Music
Traditional "Kath" music is the music of the various "Kath" nations. "Kath" music is based on drums used in dance music as far back as can be known, and a vocal style called "Kus Kuskure" or throat singing has become of interest in "Kath" and abroad. Characteristics of "Kath" music include: recitative-like singing, complex rhythmic organization, relatively small melodic range averaging about a sixth, prominence of major thirds and minor seconds melodically, with undulating melodic movement.
The Ka "Kath" living around Ka River flowing north from the Bay of Sang, have generally two categories of music. A song is called "Pismog" if the performer also plays drums and aton if he only dances. Each "Pismog" functions as a personal song of a drummer and is accompanied by dancing and singing. Each drummer has his own style and performs during gatherings. One drum is used in the performance of a "Pismog" and often begins in a slow tempo, gradually building in intensity. The wooden frame drum, called a "Qasant" is played on the edge with a wooden beater called a "Qasmog". The performer tilts the drum from one side to another and dances in rhythm of the beats.
Traditionally "Kath" languages did not have a word for what a Amnisian-influenced listener or ethnomusicologist's understanding of music, the closest word, "Nipi", includes music, the sound of speech, and noise. Traditionally, "Kath" songs seem to have been intended to be heard as parts of a whole--a series of auditory experiences. "Kath" music was usually used in spiritual ceremonies to ask the spirits for good luck in hunting or gambling, as well as simple lullabies.
However, in the modern era, "Kath" music is a vibrant environment for contemporary music, and produces a wide array of styles. These forms of music range from:
Jazz
Symphonics
Maskcore
Vudai

Architecture
Because of "Kath"'s tumultuous history, construction and destruction has been repeated endlessly, resulting in an interesting mélange of architectural styles and designs.
"Kath" traditional architecture is characterized by its harmony with nature. Traditional "Kath" cities are designed and constructed with the use of the environment incorporated into their fabric. Depending on geographic or environmental differences, the orientation of structures and their arrangement into clusters would depend on the conditions. However, shared values and traditions across "Kath" architectural design defined religious practice and political order. Knowledge and building materials, engineering, and fabrication techniques are perpetuated through oral tradition and learned experience for several centuries, and until the rise of Castle Architecture ("Kath": Musto Ieb) in the 14th century.
"Kath" cities and settlements between the four nations period to the Ichunaquan invasion period, were centered around a communal long house called the "Sem Ieb", rectangular in plan, with multiple gables and upsweeping ridges, forming buffalo horn-like ends. They normally have three-tiered projections, each with varying floor levels. They are broad and set on wooden piles that can reach as high as 3 metres (10 ft) off the ground; sometimes with a verandah running along the front face of the house which is used as a reception and dining area, and as a sleeping place for guests.
Each element has its own symbolic meaning, which is referred to in adapt speech and aphorisms. The elements of a "Sem Ieb" include:
"Oskoie Vvir", hornlike roof structure
"Diddauim" singok, triangular wall under the ends of Sem Ieb
"Ieb kaumbom" pereng, shelf under the singok
"jaung", raised floor at the end of one style of Sem Ieb
"Ari", the walls on the side elevations
"Ieb Baeaus", the walls on the front and back elevations
"Bayek", front facade
"Sakapiang" sakapiang, a shelf or middle band on the periphery of the house
"Iecruarobi", wall enclosing space under a house that has been built on stilts
Traditional "Kath" dwellings are dependent on region, environment, climate, and culture. In the south of "Kathricore", the most common form of dwelling is a yurt. Yurts are typically round or circular in shape, with a cone-shaped roof that is made of felt or other materials.
The yurt's frame is made of wooden poles that are joined together in a lattice pattern, forming a sturdy structure that can withstand strong winds and other harsh weather conditions. The felt roof is then attached to the frame, and a circular opening is left at the top to allow for ventilation and the escape of smoke from a central fire pit.
Inside the yurt, there is often a central hearth or stove that is used for cooking and warmth. The walls of the yurt are typically lined with felt or other insulating materials, which help to keep the interior warm in cold weather.
The yurt draws its history from the nomadic past of the southern nations. Prior to the Hidedoshi, much of the southern nations were ruled by nomadic tribes and warlords, with their most influential being the nation of Astorna. Following the Hidedoshi period, farming and settlement communities began a cultural shift in the southern nations, bringing many nomadic tribes into a semi-nomadic or sedentary state.
In some areas, the yurt became less of a functional nomadic home to a caste/status symbol for the lower farming and peasant communities. Their function remained during the important during the "Sersu", the long night, in which periodic flooding, or storms, required semi-permanent structures.
As well, the yurt served important functions in live stocking communities, these nation nomads move their livestock to different areas of pasture throughout the year, allowing the land to recover and regenerate before the animals return. This helps to prevent overgrazing and soil erosion, and it ensures that the animals have enough food to eat.
Alternate Styles
In the early period of "Kath" nations, "Sem Ieb" came in two variations in depiction of "Kath" social structure: The Koto design reflects an aristocratic and hierarchical social structure, with the house containing raised floors at each end to permit elevated seating of clan leaders during ceremonial events. The Bodi design reflects a democratic social structure for tribal leaders within a clan, with the floors being flat and on one level.
Other architectural designs are found within "Kath" however, from:
Hoterallian architecture is characterized by bilateral symmetry, use of enclosed open spaces, feng shui (e.g. directional hierarchies), a horizontal emphasis, and an allusion to various cosmological, mythological or in general symbolic elements. Hoterallian architecture traditionally classifies structures according to type, ranging from pagodas to palaces.
Ichunaquan architecture is characterized by their natural and common design. A core characteristic of the architectural style was to use the topography and existing materials of the land as part of the design. Due to this, the classification of Ichunaquan architecture is a broad classified range of different regional and tribal differences. Commonly fieldstones or semi-worked stone blocks and dirt set in mortar; adobe walls were also quite common, usually laid over stone foundations. The most common architectural design is the rectangular building without any internal walls and roofed with wooden beams and thatch. There were several variations of this basic design depending on purpose and function from housing to temples, these may include gabled roofs, rooms with one or two of the long sides opened and rooms that shared a long wall.
Riamese Architecture
Religious Architecture
Religious architecture in "Kathricore" is a key foundational element of both "Kath" society, but as well as the cultural and historical mindset of the region. Religious architecture varies widely depending on the region and culture of the people who built it throughout its history, though these are maintained by the "Kleiner Rocha", or the Sisterhood, is the main body of the Wanga'at faith. In the modern age, the "Kleiner Rocha" serve as the main religious institution authorized to preform religious functions such as rituals, ceremonies, and rites throughout "Kathricore".
The "Kleiner Rocha" staff temples and shrines throughout the nations, giving offerings to the cult images in which the gods were believed to take up residence and performing other rituals for their benefit.
Some general features of may include earth mounds, derung (multi-story adobe structures), sweeping roofs, intricate carvings in stone or wood, and gardens.
Examples of "Kleiner Rocha" shrines include:
Dor-ie Kemiaum, or the Shrine of the Moon, is a historical and important culture site in the nation of Caldattan. The shrine is a small, circular clearing surrounded by tall trees that filter the moonlight and create a serene, otherworldly atmosphere. At the center of the clearing stands a tall, slender statue of a silver-haired woman with a crescent moon on her forehead, representing the goddess of the moon. The Dor-ie Kemiaum is the most sacred place of worship for the Obauieie Kimsboa Cult, a religious order dedicated to the worship of Asaeo.
To enter the shrine, visitors must pass through a small gate made of twisted vines that separates the clearing from the surrounding forest. Once inside, they are greeted by the soothing sound of water flowing from a small fountain near the base of the statue. The fountain is surrounded by a small pool of water that glows softly in the moonlight, and is said to have magical healing properties.
At the base of the statue, there is a small altar where followers of the Obauieie Kimsboa can leave offerings to the god. These offerings can take many forms, including candles, crystals, flowers, and other symbolic objects. Paper lanterns are left throughout the year and are often decorated in scenes from famous mythological events involving Asaseo.
The shrine itself is surrounded by wooden structures, dotted in between large carved stones with ancient lunar symbols. These wooden structures house domesticated silk moths and the shrine itself serves as long standing historical site to "Kath" Sericulture.
In addition to the main shrine, there are several smaller altars and meditation spaces scattered throughout the clearing. These spaces are used by followers of the Obauieie Kimsboa for private prayer and reflection, and are designed to help them connect with the god and his divine power.
The Obauieie Kimsboa also holds regular rituals and ceremonies at the Dor-ie Kemiaum, which are open to all followers of the faith and in recent time, outsiders. These rituals often involve chanting, meditation, and offerings to the god, and are designed to enhance the spiritual connection between the followers and their deity.
Romair Aukaumeie Iaums-Vum, or Gardens of Aduke or the Shrine of the Sky Mother, is a historical and important culture site in the free city of Aduke. The "Romair Aukaumeie Iaums-Vum" is a series of vertical gardens, or terraces, built into the mountainous landscape of old Aduke. The "Romair Aukaumeie Iaums-Vum" is known for its lush vegetation and design, as it was designed as a series of elevated terraces, with trees, flowers, and shrubs planted on each level. The plants were irrigated by a complex system of canals and water pumps.
The history of the "Romair Aukaumeie Iaums-Vum" is as old as the city is, as within the walls of the old construction, resides the "Uroaduam Kiduvum", or the old Monastery, which is known for its ornate wooden carvings and shaman poles. Some dating back centuries. These buildings feature ornate decorative elements, such as intricate carvings, bright colors, and painted motifs, as well as their basic construction being of stone or adobe.
Today, the tower incorporates lush greenery on every level, with plants cascading down the sides of the building to create the illusion of a floating garden. The gardens are irrigated by a sophisticated rainwater harvesting system and are designed to provide a variety of habitats for different types of flora and fauna. The terraces were constructed of brick and mortar, with layers of tar to waterproof the structure and prevent water seepage. Each terrace was lined with clay tiles, and the soil was layered on top of this to create a surface for plants to grow.
The "Romair Aukaumeie Iaums-Vum" is also decorated with ornate sculptures, fountains, and other decorative elements and is described to resemble a mountain in its own construction and feel.
