((Just as a reference, I'll leave here a song made by the first Asulon Mali'aheral. It was then put on a Dragon Age soundtrack song, if I'm not mistaken. I could probably find the lyrics somewhere if you need them))

I should REALLY, REALLY go, but I'm instead binge-reading this. It's cool to see how Elven is still evolving after several years… keep on with the good work!

[OOC]: Well, sing at least wasn't missed. The first High Elves may remember a song a girl named Eowyn dubbed. There's a bit where it said: "We sing, rejoice" which we chose to translate as "lye iheiuhii'saerae". It may not be an original word, but it's a well-done composition. In the same direction, then, "we dance" could be "We manage our bodies" (my old Elven is a bit rusty now, so feel free to translate yourselves, but I'd say it's "lye taliyna'saerae" or something like that). That's the conjugate form, though.

Alright, let's comment that via Skype.

Tell me if you want some help about that, I've done a some video-editing for a TV programme in the local TV...

Since a course is already being released, I will let my first idea on the grade system be known, at least. On each subject, there are several grades of knowledge, yet to be named. For explaining purposes, I will call them Common names. Once accepted, alumni become "Alumn 3". In this phase, they are taught basic information about the subject in question, enough to have the basis on which to build on afterwards. Once they feel they have a good enough level, they can ask the teacher to be examined on their knowledge in said subject. If the teacher agrees, he will have to pass an exam. Further on how to examine later. If the exam is passed, they will become "Alumn 2". Here, students will begin to learn how to work for themselves in said subject, while still attending classes. A much more individually-centered education will be executed. "Alumn 2"s will make a small project in the subject of study, in which they will show their skills and knowledge in said subject. If the teacher feels it to be enough, they will pass on to the third stage. They who manage to become "Alumn 1" will be working totally on their own, supervised by the teacher. An "Alumn 1" has the duty of tutoring an "Alumn 3" if possible, so to relieve work off of the teacher. "Alumn 1"s can also conduct introductory or "Alumn 3"-leveled classes may it be needed. An "Alumn 1" may present a "Final Project" to the "Head Teacher", so as to apply for a teaching job. In it, he will show as much knowledge in said subject as possible, and preferably, discover a new theory, conduct a new research or similar. After this, the "Head Teacher" will test his skills in teaching. If he/she passes the test, he will become a "Teacher". Not more than a "Teacher" every 10 total alumns may there be in each subject, so as not to conduct empty classes. Teachers should lead A3-A2 level classes and tutor A2s and A1s. The next step may conflict with the Heial'thilln, so it is claimable by the Okarir'indor to hold this position. The "Head Teacher" will have the abovementioned obligations, as well as to keep the college well organized. Common tasks can be delegated to a "teacher" or even an A1.

A couple of things I thought while translating something. heya' is good for when you need to say the question words. I suggest heya, without apostrophe, for when a question is a yes/no one. averner (not avererne) is "to determine", and averer, "to confuse", as averne is determined and aver confused. talituva is a thing, a matter.

We, as the old Mali'aheral's descendants, should honor their work and expand our wisdom. Henceforth, I ask for the Heial'thilln to consider this, as the current Haelun'or citizens have showed interest in, considering the high attendance rate in the only class yet held in the College. Moreover, I ask all Mali'aheral to put pressure on the whole Heial'thilln, but especially in the Okarir'Indor, who I believe is laurir Artaeum, so that they fulfill this request. In a related matter, my personal wish is to work on what the college will teach and how. I therefore ask any citizen who might want to work in it, as well as the Heial'thilln, if they want to assign a team or a single person on it, to contact me (Laurir'leh Tal'Malin ((SpanishViking))).

This will be good help for the city, and for the library. I appreciate your work.

*In favor*

((Looks like we got one!))

((Hey, I didn't make an awesome time-study for y'all to not use it!))

"Please, NeleCAT, my viewing of you is not that low as to think you would make such a blatant mistake."

No, but if in a EXTREMELY formal situation someone speaks like "Hey, bro, how's it cracking?" wouldn't you be surprised?

Maly, Europe isn't a country. And UK is in Europe too.

((I haven't able yet to put it there. I will this weekend, probably.))

Nearly a decade has passed since the flee of Aegis, and timekeeping has not been properly curated. The following is an essay about the Aegisian timekeeping systems and how they must be used in Asulon, as well as determination of subdivisions to help on science researching in the Scholar Mali'aheral City of Haelun'or and all Asulon. The first chapter is about the systems before the Great Escape and their origin. The second one treats the possibility and need of adaptation of them, and the third describes the invention of new ones. In the end, a table of conversion and a symbol glossary are annexed. Chapter 1: Aegisian Timekeeping systems Aegis was ruled by a Day/Night-cicle, as Asulon is nowadays. Such allows for a researcher to divide the Aegisian systems in two main groups. On the one hand, those derived from the abovementioned cycle. On the other hand, systems whose origins do not rely upon it, but upon culture, nature, or beliefs. This part is based on some scholars' help the author got in Laurelin, so part of its information may be misleading. 1.1 Cycle-based timekeeping systems The Passing, a Common word usually used by humans, or karin(ah), as the Old Elves liked to call it, is the basic measure of time, since it's the one that is more visual and obvious. Its duration was that of one cycle. Although there is no word for it, a seven-Passing system was used by Aegisians, who used a single word to describe each of the seven days. These seven words, organized from first to last are: Ahad, Itnan, Tolta, Irba, Kamees, Joma and Sabet. Further investigations in Haelun'or's library seem to indicate a Dwarven origin to this setting, but not much is mentioned. Five of these seven-Passing groups constrict a Seed, also determined by humans, thus situating thirty-five Passings in a Seed. Eight Seeds make a Year. Each of these Seeds has a name too. They are the following: The First Seed, The Second Seed, The Grand Harvest, Sun's Smile, The Amber Cold, The Deep Cold, Snow's Maiden and Malin's Welcome. Divisions of a Passing exist too. The Old Elves of Aegis used a measure of time that divided the Passing in sixteen taliman (Singular: talima). The talima system is a very interesting one, and the most complicated yet. A talima is a sixteenth of a Passing, and the day is divided in four: taliker (Midnight), karinah (Sunrise), talikarinah (Noon) and ker (Sunset). An hour is described by saying the last of these sections followed by how many taliman have passed since it and the word talima. For example, a talima before sunset (that is, three taliman after noon) is karinah hael talima ("Noon three talima ). The four sections' exact times are just called the name itself (not four hours after the last). 1.2 Non-cycle-based timekeeping systems The shortest one is the Fortday. This was, funny enough, established by dwarves. Their seventh King noticed that his people (as most creatures of Aegis) had an odd sleeping cycle that didn't adhere to any change in Aegis. After some research, he determined a Fortday to be two Seeds and five Passings. The Old Elves found about this and called it a karim. Afterwards, its use expanded to all of Aegis. Orcs noticed that approximately every four years, the extreme temperatures of the desert went even hotter or colder (although Krugmar was still hot in these times). They called each of this cycles a Season. The days when Malin, Father of the Elves, lived in Laurelin, establish the maximum length of a High Prince's or Princess' reign. This is called a Malin's Year. Last, but not least, is the Long Week or Elven Week. This was established by Malinor and is a group of seven Fortdays. This term is on the last position because it has led to the use of the word Elven to describe this section of time systems. Therefore, the terms Elven Day, Elven Month and Elven Year are correspondant to Fortdays, Seasons and Malin's Years. Chapter 2: Adapting of Aegisian timekeeping systems to Asulon ((The Passings in Asulon are longer in relation to real life, and so become the systems derived from them. Most systems work from here, but I have felt the need of change of the talima system.)) This system now divides the day in fifteen, not sixteen, taliman. Each one is divided in 41 irem, which in turn are divided in 40 talirem. That makes each talima 1640 talireman long. This will lead to easier science time-measuring. Annex 1: Symbols For an easier organization of scientific demonstrations, the following symbols will be used for representing the different time-measuring systems: Y: Aegian Year y: Asulonian Year My: Malin's Year S: Aegian Seed s: Asulonian Seed Os: Orcish Season Ew:Elven Week P: Aegian Passing p: Asulonian Passing Fd: Fortday T: Aegian talima t: Asulonian talima i: irem ti: talirem Annex 2: Changing table *A table is attached to the end of the book* ((https://docs.google....S3NaTkhHcnVHN1E))

No way, Aurea, no way.

Name: Laurir'leh Tal'Malin Truename ((MCName)): SpanishViking Origin: I am of the noble family of the Tal'Malin, who, when I heard of Haelun'or, I though were Mali'aheral left back in Aegis. I have found no proof of this yet, to my sorrow. However, I grew up in Laurelin, and my parents raided for what now I realize were Mali'aheral ideas. How can you declare you are Mali'thill: As stated above, my feel is that my family is that of Malithill'an, but I can not be sure. Apart from that, I seek to follow the Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya and fill myself with as much knowledge a Mali'aheral should have. Why do you wish to become a citizen of Haelun'or: I do not wish to become a citizen of Haelun'or, as I am one already, both in heart and in mind. This is just an official way (of course, necessary) of showing it. What is your personal vision for our blessed race: We have to make sure Haelun'or is secured, but after this, I expect a prosperous future for our kind. And I say I EXPECT because we are not going to wait for time to pass and take us to wherever we have to go, but rather to take our own path and achieve our goals by ourselves. What does maehr'sae hiylun'ehya mean to you: It is my mean of living. Maehr'sae Hyilun'ehya means literally "Learning/Progress and health", but is much more than that. Maehr'sae Hyilun'ehya means that every Mali'aheral has to devote his life to knowing as much as he can, while still trying to have a decent way of living. This is a balance, which means no Mali'aheral should exclusively live in the library, as no one should loose his life in conquering Asulon, for example. What Elven phrase do you particularly take to heart? Please explain why: The profundity of the Mali'san is so great that I have no phrase I feel better than other. If I had to choose one, it would be "Laurir'leh, Maliaheral'to Haelun'or itone'ehya, ito kae'leh san'leh. Heya'nae'ehya?', because it gives an easy way to present oneself, declare his love for his kin and test the knowledge of Elven language of the receiver, which says much about his Malithill'n. What is the subject of the first book you will submit to the college: "About the passing of time and its measuring, an ageless matter." (Mind the word game). What would be your reaction if you ever saw a human, orc and unknown Mali'aheral travel the roads from Alras together: I would go away from them as much as I could if the Mali'aheral wasn't in obvious hostility with the other two, as such groups are only driven to banditry, miar'sae and pillaging. Besides, why would I even be in Alras wasn't it for important reasons, in which case I would not have time to chat? What home would you like to receive: I am sorry to say I have not had any opportunity to raise any money, not to talk about the costs shown here. So my will is to get maehr vailu. Are there any other details about yourself you wish to relay to the council? As stated before, Haelun'or is my home, and its citizens my family. The council knows as much of me as a family can, which is about everything.

I would be very glad of attending such high-level classes you speak of. Contact me when you can.

Nope.
