Xozmwiz

We first became aware of the Xozmwiz in 2692. They inhabit the dry planet Moxwuz Xitxwox in the Moxmwoz system. They are fearful, nimble, and intelligent.

The Xozmwiz have begun to cultivate crops. They are especially fond of xitxwut, a kind of hardy fruit.

The Xozmwiz make widespread use of stone tools in a variety of contexts, including when hunting the wild mozxuwximoz.

The Xozmwiz have developed a simple system of writing, which they use primarily for record-keeping.

The Xozmwiz have begun to watch the skies and recognize patterns in the movements of stars, which they use to navigate over great distances and keep track of time.

The Xozmwiz have mastered the control of fire. They use it to cook their food, and to light their villages at night.

The Xozmwiz have learned how to catch water-dwelling creatures such as the xooxox, which is now a staple part of the Xozmwiz diet.

The Xozmwiz have discovered how to forge molten metal into jewelry, tools, weapons, and armor.

The Xozmwiz have begun to construct permanent dwellings and other structures. They seem to favor wood as a building material.

The Xozmwiz have learned how to build ships and sail them across the oceans of Moxwuz Xitxwox to explore and trade over increasingly greater distances.

The Xozmwiz have developed a sophisticated understanding of basic mathematics, such as arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.

In 2848, many of the disparate Xozmwiz villages were united under a single banner by an individual known as Xoxowxoxux. The resulting empire has its capital at Xoxwox and rules over approximately 43% of the entire Xozmwiz population. Unusually for the Xozmwiz, it is governed by direct democratic vote.

In 2868, a rapidly growing religion known as Xotxwox was declared the official religion of the largest Xozmwiz state. Adherents of Xotxwox wear plain scarlet fabrics to mark themselves as believers.

The Xozmwiz have begun to use lenses and mirrors made from polished crystal, glass, and water to redirect and focus light.

The Xozmwiz have begun to make use of more sophisticated construction techniques, relying on sturdy structural elements such as arches and buttresses to support larger and larger buildings.

The Xozmwiz have domesticated a species of small furry creatures. The pets assist their Xozmwiz owners with navigation in exchange for food and shelter.

The Xozmwiz have built elaborate pipe and sewer systems to supply their larger settlements, such as Xoxwox, with fresh water and a hygenic means of waste disposal.

Through systematic observation and categorization of the various living things on Moxwuz Xitxwox, the Xozmwiz have begun to develop a more sophisticated understanding of biology. Some theorists have even put forth the idea that dramatically different-looking organisms, such as the mozxuwximoz and the xooxox, may in fact be descended from a single common ancestor.

In their efforts to understand the motion of planets in the sky, free-falling bodies, and projectiles, the Xozmwiz have developed a new branch of mathematics which is immediately recognizable as calculus.

Although initially controversial, the idea that diseases can be caused by microorganisms has begun to catch on among the Xozmwiz, leading to the widespread adoption of public health policies which have greatly reduced the spread of disease.

The Xozmwiz have discovered a way to manufacture gunpowder, which they primarily use in warfare.

In 3024, the Xozmwiz population reached 25 million individuals. Many of these dwell within permanent cities, the largest of which is known as Xoxwox and has a population of 70,000.

The Xozmwiz have begun to construct wind and water mills, which redirect the forces of the natural world to perform repetitive mechanical tasks such as grinding grain and pumping water.

Due to its role as the birthplace of several major Xozmwiz religions, including the especially prominent Xotxwox faith, the city of Xoxwox is regarded by many of the Xozmwiz as a holy site. The high priest of Xoxwox is considered the de facto leader of the Xotxwox church as a whole, and pilgrimages to the city are commonplace.

The Xozmwiz have developed a practical and cost-effective steam engine, which can be fueled with wood or coal.

The Xozmwiz have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.

The Xozmwiz have begun to develop rockets.

The Xozmwiz have successfully tamed electricity, and are now beginning to deploy it throughout society. Electric lights are widespread, electric motors are used to drive factories, and the growing need for electric power has led to the construction of power plants near every major center of Xozmwiz population.

The Xozmwiz have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed. Due to the overhead of encoding and decoding messages, long-distance communication remains far from instantaneous, but it is now possible for individuals on opposite sides of Moxwuz Xitxwox to exchange several messages over the course of a single day.

The Xozmwiz have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Moxwuz Xitxwox.

The Xozmwiz have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.

The Xozmwiz have discovered that electromagnetic waves may be used to transmit information, enabling the development and widespread deployment of media for audiovisual broadcasting.

In 3177, the Xozmwiz successfully detonated their first prototype nuclear weapon. It remains unclear whether the Xozmwiz scientists who worked on the bomb understand the sheer destructive potential of the weapon they have created.

With the development of the transistor, the Xozmwiz have begun to construct more sophisticated electronic circuits.

The Xozmwiz have begun to build general-purpose programmable computers.

The Xozmwiz have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Moxwuz Xitxwox before retrieving them safely.

The Xozmwiz have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.

In 3246, following decades of negotiation, the various sovereign Xozmwiz nations came to an agreement concerning the establishment of a unified planet-wide government for all of the Xozmwiz.

The Xozmwiz have begun to understand quantum physics.

The Xozmwiz have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.

The Xozmwiz have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.

Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Xozmwiz have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.

The Xozmwiz have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.

The Xozmwiz have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Moxwuz Xitxwox. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Moxmwoz system, the distribution of Xozmwiz civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.

The Xozmwiz have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Moxmwoz system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.

In 3318, the Xozmwiz joined us.

In 2900, an emerging religion known as Oviom became the official religion of the largest Fvovitiovip state. Adherents of Oviom wear plain blue caps to mark themselves as believers.

Due to its role as the birthplace of several major Fvovitiovip religions, including the especially prominent Oviom faith, the city of Fvixotivip is regarded by many of the Fvovitiovip as a holy site. The archbishop of Fvixotivip is considered the de facto leader of the Oviom church as a whole, and pilgrimages to the city are commonplace.
