			== Rituals ==
			In most sects of Bez, there are no permanent "churches" or "temples." Exceptions to this include groups such as the [[Temple of Bez]], the [[Zani Death Cult]], and [[Quartz Bez]]. Instead, most Bez groups gather at spiritual sites in the open-air, with designs, shrines, and relics composed of mostly of organic materials that need to be regularly maintained. The maintenance of these shrines is often purposefully rigorous, representing the struggle of maintaining the order of life over natural chaos.

			== Cultural Signifiers ==
			From architecture to design patterns and symbols, Bez can be spotted visually in southern [[Menaiceraum]] cultures in myriad ways.

			=== Architecture ===
			While most sects of Bez do not have permanent dedicated worship centers, Bez religious tenets are frequently incorporated into vital urban infrastructure in several ways.

			==== Entropic Waterways ====
			==== Airflow Design ====
			==== Domes and "Ant Design" ====
			==== Temples of Radical Sects ====

			=== Patterns ===
			Clothing, walls, roads, and other items are often covered with patterns and designs that are intended to represent tenets of Bez.
			The most common of these are simple bi-color zigzag patterns on clothing, the "ups and downs" representing the eb and flow of the tides, the temperature over the course of a year, the cycles of growth of decay of species populations, etc.

			=== Literary Motifs ===

Djogawa Djororx (English: Dog Days, literally Entropic Days) is an ongoing webcomic by me, Robbie Cole. It takes place in [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] in 2067 AR, with a particular focus on the politics and issues in [[Sarbisi]], a city on the northern coast of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]].

==Plot==

* Chapter 1:
** The entirety of Chapter 1 takes place on or around [[Zessis]]. It begins with [[Djaz Anori]] exploring the ruins of the [[Temple of Bez]] with his colleagues. The Temple had been destroyed in 2011 in the canonical parts of the events of [[EFC DnD: Season Two]].
** After Djaz’s encounter with the [[Sphinx Moth]], the scene cuts to [[Dountic]], “Bite Town.” [[Kira DeDoumo]], [[Zan DeDoumo]], and [[Tinit]]. They depart from the Dountic building for the [[Peninsular Naval Commission]], of which Kira is the [[Dmacin]], meaning she is among the second in command of the entire organization. Before they depart the port, Zan mentions the group’s intention on attending the annual [[Maritime Anti-Pirate Council]]. Instead, Zan and Tinit and up on an [[El Fwonk Navy]] ship through the [[Froof Straits]] on a course for the DeDoumo family home in [[Sarbisi]].
** Meanwhile, Kira has tracked down Djaz to a bar in a floating town on the southwesternmost corner of Zessis, presumably [[Kleodikum]].
** The final battle of Chapter 1 takes place after the [[Renegade Casanosians]], led by [[Brazim]], capture Zan and Tinit with the intent to ransom them, knowing of the DeDoumo family wealth and power. After the battle, the main characters continue their course to Sarbisi. Kira mentions that it’s been a long time since the Renegades had enough power to hijack even a single ship in the Froof Straits. Additionally, [[Ick]] falls, even though it’s the month of Pesjukex (basically January), when the Ick typically falls in Dakum (April-early May).

* Chapter 2:
** Chapter 2 begins with a day in late Pesjukex in the city of [[Sarbisi]]. Tinit takes Zan to school at the [[West Wall School]]. A camp of refugees from Zessis has accumulated in the city after the unexpected Ick fall. A [[Taxi Bug]] cart pulls in front of Zan and Tinit, pulling [[Ezli]], a [[Wolves|Wolf]], supposedly on a Zoo tour after being captured from the [[Unorganized Territory]]. She is held in a newly-constructed exhibit at the [[Sarbisi Zoo]].
** Zan can’t sleep, so he sneaks out of his home high in the tower of the Sarbisi Peninsular Naval Commission to try and sneak some [[Night Chicken]]. A refugee girl asks Zan for some Night Chicken, and Zan decides that he has enough to afford some after pulling out his tin of [[Zenn]], stating that a bucket of Night Chicken costs 40 Zenn and he can spare some, as he has at least 120 Zenn with him.
** The next day at school, there is a field trip to the Zoo to see the Wolf. Along the way, Zan’s classmate Mara mentions a Sarbisi City [[Judge]] who just became a [[District Judge]], and that 35% of El Fwonk [[Kxarkuv|Kxarkubuv]] were judges before being elected.
** When Zan joins Djaz in attempting to take Ezli out of the Zoo, he mentions that there may be some kind of [[Wolf Language]] and that Ezli may know the key to the [[Nucletoid]] stuck in his glove, and that this pertains to the Ick somehow. When the hooded figure attacks Djaz during his escape, he uses a [[Sound Cannon]] to temporarily deafen everyone nearby and even shatter some windows.
** That night, Zan still can’t sleep. He receives a book titled “How to Speak Wolf” from Djaz. Then, he visits his mother, Kira, in her room. She’s watching a documentary on the [[War of the Continent]] on her [[Television]]. The two have a tense conversation, where Kira proclaims that she thinks the Peninsula would have been better off if [[Sardiki Alka]] were able to remain in power in El Fwonk, as they quashed insurrection without hesitation.

* Chapter 3:
** Chapter 3 goes back in time by a week and shows that [[Brazim]] and his lieutenant survived the Ick-filled water. They wash up on a beach in southern Zessis, horribly mangled by Ick damage (Canonically this is the same beach where the group in [[EFC DnD: Season Two]] cut off Nashara’s head, preserve it, and put it on the exhaust of their boat).

Roox Migration is a series of crayon-drawn stories by [[Agma Schwa]] drawn between 2009 and 2010. They are bound in notebooks currently stored in the bookshelf seen in his YouTube set.

These stories recount the journey of [[Roxie]] as she moves from [[Rixia]] to [[Roox City]] and becomes the city's "Queen." In Roox Migration 2, Roxie and her friends battle against [[Prince Prins]], who has gained access to the powerful [[Fwonk Pearl]]. In Roox Migration 3, Prince Prins creates an army of [[Nucletoid]] beings that aim to reconquer [[Arojaunza]] for the defunct [[Prins Empire]].

A fourth Roox Migration story was created, but never finished. In this story, Roxie and her friends go to [[Vaethyr]] to confront [[Saber]], mimicking the arc of [[The Pup Heroes]] from a few years before.

The Pup Heroes is a series of three stories written by Agma Schwa in the summers of 2007 (Pup Heroes 1 and 2) and 2008 (Pup Heroes 3). These were handwritten on lined paper stapled into books upon completion. Pup Heroes 1 predated the creation of the El Fwonk [[Yard Model]] by about two months, while the others were written after construction of the Yard Model began.

These stories were heavily influenced by Bionicle, especially the Bionicle stories being releaed concurrently in 2007 and 2008. As such, Agma Schwa has referred to the origins of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] and [[Arodjun]] as "Bionicle fanfiction."

The main characters are anthropomorphic dogs called [[Pups]], each named after and inspired by the dogs owned by the families of [[Agma Schwa]] and his friends. The main antagonist is an entity known as [[Saber]] and its army of [[Nucletoid]] beings.
