A runic inscription found upon a warhammer of 'Da Orzumar '

 

Upon the Wall of Memories, an ancient wall predating the memories of the eldest of dwed, be a runic language carved onto its face - more ancient than the common dwed-lingustics spoken today: Inithár Lorváthiik - the language of flesh runes.

 

Inithár Lorváthiik or "Stone Tongue", as it is referred to in common, is an ancient language, older than even Great Ancient Dwarvish itself. The language was first discovered when the three sons of Urir Ireheart, the paragon of Clan Doomforged; Hodir, Iban and Yorri found the ancient city of Kal-Asgol in the deep underdepths of Asulon. Within this city, ruled once by the mighty Flesh-lord Dormmar himself, they found many an artifact but also the Wall of Memories. A wall filled with ancient runic inscriptions of this language. Whilst the language is not publicly known to great extents, for it being a closely guarded secret of The Doomforged, some olden tidbits have managed to slip through the cracks since ages prior and now - new information comes to light.

 

Inithár Lorváthiik is a deep, rythmic and gutteral language spoken primerily during the incantation of flesh-runes or other ceremonial deeds. A highly ceremonial and registerial language which the Doomforged have dedicated themselves to preserving thus leaving it barren of casual-vocabulary to not lessen or blaspheme against it. The vocabulary of the language is built through the blending of base roots to form compound words, as well as the use of suffixes rather than prefixes for grammatical functions such as definiteness, titles, and status marking. A line has been drawn to better help divide the roots and suffixes.

 

Known words since prior are;

-Mir = "The" but used as a suffix

-Adin = Suffix usually fit for royalty and great leaders.

Dormâr = Doomforge

Kazrun = Clan / Family

Yae|mir = The Heir

Korza|mir = The Cunning

Arkho|mir = The Ascendant

Andûl = Depths / Dark / Void.

Roots;

Velera -choice/choose

Velar - knowledge/wisdom

Sûl - metal/steel 

Akaz - blood/flesh 

Kathiik - rune 

Kar - realm/hold/hall 

Thar - fire/flame 

Drakh - war/battle/fight 

Rakh - honor

Taru - bold/brave

Yae - inherit/inheritance

Korza - deceptive/cunning

Arkho - rising/ascending

When carved upon stone or written onto parchment, one would rather bring forth an expression of truth or concept since the meaning is carried within the words themselves, revealed through context and tradition as opposed to longer explicit explanation.

 

OOC SPOILER:

Wrote this as a way to breathe life into the lore of the doomforged, starting with their language. Giving us that roleplay as the clan a way to use the language easier.

 

If you're not Doomforged you probably wouldn't know of the roots AKA don't metagame :)
