asjaomase
Asjaomase is a fictional term used in worldbuilding to denote a ceremonial practice of memory and storytelling in the imagined Valakar culture. The word is commonly described as a compound of two roots from the fictional language family, with asja meaning "voice" and mase meaning "gathering." The practice centers on a communal evening event in which storytellers recount ancestral histories, accompanied by a rotating set of percussion and string instruments. Performance is structured in cycles called rungs or chapters, allowing participants to add fragments while preserving a shared chronology. The ritual emphasizes oral transmission, intergenerational inclusion, and the stabilization of social identity through a common narrative.
In the fictional history of Valakar, asjaomase dates to the early formation of towns in the region
