'''Vengeance''' is a 2.5.17 [[subgroup temperament]]. It is notable for having a structure similar to [[mavila]] with an [[2L 5s|antidiatonic scale]] and [[7L 2s|superdiatonic scale]] but being comparatively very low in [[error]] and [[badness]], because the flat fifth generator is represented by [[25/17]] rather than [[3/2]] (or equivalently, [[34/25]] rather than [[4/3]]). It is defined by [[tempering out]] the [[comma]] [[78608/78125]]. | '''Vengeance''' (CompactStar's name) or '''pentagoth''' (groundfault's and Userminusone's) is a 2.5.17 [[subgroup temperament]].

It is defined by [[tempering out]] the [[comma]] [[78608/78125]]. The name "vengeance' was coined by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] and derives from 25/17's name as the "vengeance subfifth". Like with mavila, 3 generators reach the major third represented by [[5/4]], but the minor third is represented by [[20/17]]. The minor triad is 17:20:25, which makes it far simpler than the major triad of 68:85:100, in contrast to [[5-limit]] major and minor triads as used in mavila and meantone. | ||
The harmonic 7 can be added in a similar way to how mavila is extended to [[armodue]], by having [[7/4]] reached as -5 generators of 34/25 (or the "minor seventh" in antidiatonic terms). | The harmonic 7 can be added in a similar way to how mavila is extended to [[armodue]], by having [[7/4]] reached as -5 generators of 34/25 (or the "minor seventh" in antidiatonic terms). | ||
