Jihnyny 2600 Share Posted October 18, 2023 THE TONGUE OF ORCS Krimpgoth Grimruk’Lur Within the desert of the orcs you hear them converse, speak to one another. Though the tongue sounds foul, it feels familiar. ♪♫♪ ON THE BLAH The Blah, also known simply as ‘Blah’. Is a tongue coming from the lands of Aegis. Due to the cultural isolation of the orcs, they developed their own language outside of common, taking slight inspiration from the shamanic language ‘Old Blah’. This language is quite foul, taking advantage of the Orcish grunts and deeper vocals. The Blah can be spoken with a thick accent, however, with the Orcs leaving their isolation over the years, the accent has begun to die down. Most Orcs of today's Aevos speak in a more straightforward and, arguably, more understandable accent. CULTURAL INFLUENCE Though Blah is not mandatory in this day and age, it is still expected and seen as respect to speak to another bruddah in the tongue. Greeting a Rex or a Wargoth with the word ‘Throm’ka’ gives a good impression of the respect you give to those who are stronger than you. UNDERSTANDING BLAH Blah may prove some difficulty to speak and to understand at first, as with any language. However, Blah is a sub-tongue of Common, meaning that it shares a great similarity with the language of other descendants. For example, if one were to say, “Hello, how do you do?” An Orc would say, “Ug, how does lats do?" However, due to the mighty tusks and jaws of the Orcish kind, their accent may seem harsh. Their soft 's' may turn into a stronger 'z', and their ‘the’ might turn into a ‘da’. For the average orc, it takes quite some practice to speak in a calmer accent for other descendants.

Mannamannaa 1626 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Kor'garr, Truthspeaker of the Horde, shakes his head as he looks over a copy of the missive before droplets of saltwater spray up against his chest. Curved wooden planks held together with large ferrum nails creak and bob atop the choppy waves far south of the desert coastline. A harsh, guttural bark of crude laughter looses from his tusked maw before the orc scribbles a quick message on the back of that dense paper, shoving the rolled up parchment back into it's bottle along with some extra pages and tossing it towards the mainland. Once Grimruk picks up the returned message from San'Briu's courier station, a few short yet blocky sentences could be read alongside a different guide to Blah! "Kor'garr'z guide was better. Stick to hunting agh trials, Krimpgoth, or lat gets clobbered after Kor'garr returns home. Sincerely, the Skriptgoth." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
