'''Selvadoradian lore''' is the cultural history of the [[Selvadorada|Selvadoradian]] people featured in ''[[The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure]]''.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* For more decorative uses, Omiscan may decorate them with [[crystal|Amazonite]] or paint on them.
* Golden ones are purely for cosmetic use. They are usually for special occasion and not practical to be used. Golden decorations are also considered as treasures and are kept in [[treasure chest]]s.
The Selvadoradians use the Cetlcitli Harvest Calendar as their main calendar. It presents the [[Freezer Bunny]] in the middle.
Selvadoradians usually display a decoration of Spirit of the Jungle, a common Selvadoradian symbol, in their home. Its meaning differs from SIm to Sim, but it generally represents good will and tidings to all travelers.
==Myth==
Chiefs of the Three Seasons are noted in the Ancient Omiscan Artifacts.
Line 25 ⟶ 28:
Other than the chiefs of the three seasons, the Omiscans also worship Cetlcitli, the spirit of crop preservation and longevity. They believe that placing a statue of Cetlcitli in a stone box with their food would keep the food cool and last longer.

===Origin Myth===▼
▲====Origin Myth====
*"The Watcher is light and dark, good and evil, fire and water, life and death. The Watcher is everything. The Watcher divides until The Watcher is 10 Watchers, 100 Watchers, 1000 Watchers. The Watchers create tree and flowers, love and meanness, cooking and swimming."
*"The Watchers work to create the world. They take pieces of themselves. They take the light from within themselves and create suns. They take the darkness from within themselves and create night skies."
*"In the darkness, there is chaos. In the chaos is everything, and so it continues for generations and generations, chaos from chaos until the time when The Watcher emerges from the chaos. The Watcher controls the chaos and is also controlled by the chaos."
====Regeneration Myth====
*"There comes a time when the curiosity of the Watchers is sated, when the world has run its course. Then do the Watchers collapse and 1,000 Watchers become The Watcher once more and the world collapses into chaos."
*"The Watchers do not tell time as Sims do. Their time is longer, larer, unending. A Sim's time in the world must end. As with one, so with all".
*"While the Sims may remember nothing of the previous worlds, The Watcher remembers them all, learns from them all. With each new world the Watcher divides into more Watchers, is able to create more Sims, smarter Sims, greater worlds. This has been and will forever be again."
====Death Myth====
*"When Sims were first created, the Watchers argued amongst themselves on whether the Sims should be eternal like the Watchers themselves or whether they should walk about the world for a time and then be no more. At first, the Watchers who wished for Sims like themselves won out, and Sims lived and lived for as long as they were able, except
*"But soon, the Watchers found this system unreasonable. The world was covered with Sims. The Sims could barely move about without bumping into one another. There was never enough food or beds or happiness to go around. The sun was shrinking with the energy that went into so much creation."
*"And so, from the parts of themselves that decay and renew, they create Death."
*"Death, a being of bones, who roams the world and brings Sims from their life to their death. Now, when a Sim dies, his heart is absorbed by Death and brought to the sun, where the Watchers store the energy they need for creation. With each Sim that is born they grab a pinch of sun and put it into the newborn heart, renewing the cycle once more."
===Totem===
* The carving of Totelcallama reminds the Omiscan people to keep a firm defense up. Misfortune can befall the Sim who is not prepared.
* The carving of Zazatototl reminds the Omiscan people of the importance of storytelling and history.
* The carving of Balampalsoh reminds the Omiscan people to treasure surprise and the unexpected events of life.
* The carving of the Lotus reminds the Omiscan people to stop and smell the flowers.
