Etymology

The name of the country, Ivorsul, comes from Ndzougi Ivyrsıl /iʋɤʁsɯl/, literally meaning from the farmland and is traced back to proto-Atsiq *ekəħr̩ħsolħə, meaning the same thing.

History

Prior to the discovery of Atsiq by Sunt Rhashashrveesa in 862, Ivorsul consisted mostly of nomadic groups without any significant agricultural standings, yet some groups were known to farm the land while occupying land for longer amount of time, but hunter-gatherer societies were still more prevelent due to the amount of wildlife present and for the lack of natural predators in the ecosystem, which made it easier to hunt rather than to farm for food. It is also in Ivorsul where the wild rice in Atsiq was first cultivated, but to a very small degree. After the indrotuction of agriculture to Atsiq, did the groups of nomadic tribes start settling, being the among the first on Atsiq to do so. And with the previous knowledge of the existance of wild rice on Atsiq, the different groups grew quick with the now reliable food source, outpacing other areas on Atsiq.

Architecture

Traditional Ivorsul architecture mostly follows the design ideas and concepts of the pan-Atsiq school of architecture with its elongated main forms for the mass or body of the building, often even being the whole building which is common for historical private residential housing and older styles of communal structures, and the use of multiple dormers, turrets and clerestories, which are supported by sometimes coloumns, abutment systems or additional sections outside of the envelope of the building used often for animals, storages or other open rooms or headcoverings. Rooves were usually of wooden tiles, earth with light greenery like grass and even thatch, older rooves and more fortified structures also developed stone roofing but it is uncommon. Rooves were ornamented by bardgeboards, which usually had either ceremonial atsiq script inscriptions to ward of bad happenings or to bring good ones or they had drawings and patterns of scenes from the day-to-day life, family or religious events, and topped by balustrades which usually ran up to the finials or corssed bardgeboards. Older Atsiq architecture did not use windows as they let too much heat out during the winters and too much heat in during the summers. Later architectural movements added small openings with shutters, allowing increased air change inside the building, but similar openings existed earlier as well in a smaller form and higher to let unwanted trapped smoke out when necessary as they warmed their buildings with live fires and smoke.
