Linh Song for Best Keeper Character 2024! @camelspit you are the bestest host <3

I confess that I have limited knowledge of this topic, having missed several millennia of its development and having always gravitated towards the sciences in my research, but I will tell you what I know.

The Language is...strange.

Many elves do not realize this, as there is, at this time, more or less one monolithic Enlightened Language, but the Enlightened Language is regional by nature.

If groups of elves live separate from one another, as we did in my youth before light-leaping, the Language evolves independently in each group, slowly changing to match the needs of those who speak it.

It is not a process that is well understood. There is some unknown force at work that seems almost conscious, even omniscient. It is the same force that changes the proportion of abilities in the elvin population to meet our needs—the force that gave us both Fintan and Lord Bronte—Councillor Bronte, now—in the same generation less than a millennium before the onset of the great wars, and has given us two new pyrokinetics in recent years—a poor omen for what is to come.

When I was young, the Languages were almost entirely distinct. Parts of the Languages bled into one another as traders carried words back and forth with them, but the words were only instinctive to the elves of the realms from which they came.

I remember when Fintan first arrived in the Southern Realm. He had studied the Southern Language, but his words were unwieldy, like those of the other species who tried to speak our Language. With time, he improved, but it was still a learned language to him, not instinctive. 

With the discovery of light-leaping, all this changed. Our Languages began to merge. I would awaken with the unfamiliar words of the Northern Language on my tongue, suddenly seeming as though I had spoken them all my life. Fintan would greet me in ways I had never taught him. Our species became one.

In the present day, it is as though we have multiple distinct sets of grammatical and phonetic rules within the same Language. This can even be observed by outsiders. If you pay close attention, you will notice a shift in the sounds of the words as elves switch between topics. An elf speaking of the lush valleys of Eternalia sounds different from an elf speaking of the cold expanses of the Northern tundra.

Some words are from none of the old Languages. I still remember the day that elvinkind awoke with our mouths filled with new words for blood and pain and death—words not just for the other species, but for ourselves. Some consider that the day that the great wars truly started.

A similar process occurs, of course, with the learned languages, particularly those of fractured species like humans, but it occurs to a far lesser extent than in instinctive Languages.

Tam and Linh both have abs. Both are strong AF too. Muscles, guys.

Juline, Livvy, and Edaline all have abs, or at least some kind of muscularity. (no way thats a word omg I was making at up-) #StrongWoman.

Dex is a scrawny stick boy with NO ABS whatsoever.

thats it. Can we all agree on this? The bare minimum is no.3.

Since students are allowed to talk now (seriously why was no communication a thing?) I asked and some of them who grew up in the territories have seen a fair bit of bloodshed. Asking because establishing a healer program there would be cool

Hi Linh!

I did attend Foxfire. It’s really the only schooling institution most noble elves know anything about - save the use of Exilium as a “behavioural disincentive”. There are actually other schools, though!
