[✓] [World Lore] Al'tahrn-Durngo, the Ebrietaean Language

[Tentoa 3161]

Preface

Spoiler

This is Al’tahrn-Durngo or ‘the black language’, back in the day this language was written by Watyll (May he rest in peace) and has served as an RP enhancement for the Dark Mage roleplayers on Lord of the Craft ever since. Prior to his passing Watyll gave Mephistophelian the right to expand and add onto his language and when he left the server Mephistophelian unfortunately didn’t have anyone to pick it up. Since then it has mostly remained ornament save for being used as a reference for other dark magic projects.  I have always used this language as a resource on several of my characters. I asked Zarsies if it would be okay to write an expansion given he was the last person to work on it and he approved and he and Mordu lended a hand in tying this to current world lore.

The legwork of the language was already done for me, sentence structure and many words had already been defined by Watyll and those that came after so I didn’t have to update the grammar or usage.

In using Al’tahrn-Durngo very often I have found that the language struggles with Its vocabulary being limited and since Its structure is pretty much perfect already I saw the only improvement I could make would be to expand upon the lexicon with new words and allow for more widespread usage by editing the effects it has upon the mind of non-darkmages.  

I have spent the past three days nonstop compiling verbs, adjectives, and nouns and discussing ways to tie this into current lore.  I am very tired.

Lore

Al'tahrn-Durngo is known as the Black Language for one reason; all things tainted, evil, corrupt or dark are capable of speaking it. (Including but not limited to: all undead, necromancers, mystics, frost witches, shades, striga, silit, and shade parasites) The origin of the language is the Ebrietaes, in which the grating and guttural ‘true language’ is used telepathically by mortal souls adrift in the stream to communicate with one another. The language was unleashed upon descendantkind when Ikuras set Its eyes upon the stream and prodded  the language toward the dreaming  minds of living mortals with wounded souls, those plagued by dark knowledge, and those  unnaturally connected to the Soul Stream without the song of Aeriel to prevent the intrusive language from reaching their minds. Due to its very nature as the language shared in the Ebrietaes however the souls of all races are doomed to inevitably wield knowledge of this supernatural tongue and once they have heard it enough every sapient being with a soul will  develop a resistance to its grating effects and can even learn it while still among the living.

While The language is unpleasant to those unaffiliated with the dark arts at first and grates at the ears like nails on a chalkboard or scraping metal the longer you persist in listening to the language the less disgusting it becomes to hear. Eventually a complete tolerance to its guttural vernacular will be developed and the listener can even be taught the language at which point one’s ability to learn Al’tahrn-Durngo is restricted only by their motivation and learning retention.
 

Script

Spoiler

Linked with this language is the script, which is slowly understood by dark mages the first time they read it, and eventually becomes so easy, it is like reading common. To common folk, however, the words are harsh on the eyes, and cannot be read properly. It would be like trying to look into the sun for too long.

Red lines

Spoiler

 

-Al'tahrn-Durngo's abrasive pronunciation cannot be weaponized or somehow made relevant to combat; the discomfort of hearing it cannot cause damage.
 

-Al'tahrn-Durngo is a language and as such cannot be instantly known and understood; it takes years (e.g. 2 IRL weeks or more) of practice before someone is fully fluent regardless of whether they naturally develop it as a dark mage or creature or as someone being taught.

 

(Upon approval the story team may be contacted to allow for aditional words to be added for expansion sake)

[Zarsies 6795]

I appreciate Tentoa championing this revival, Al’tahrn-Durngo has needed a breath of fresh air and an extensive addition of vocabulary for years. It fell behind Ilzakarn and never received the love it deserved to stand on its own. 

 

Personally speaking, Watyll will forever be a tender subject but this piece satisfies my sensitivities and I appreciate that Tentoa honored his original work and ran with the established ideas. I’ll gladly edgepost with this vile keyboard-spam grunt-speak once more :’ )
