#fantasy language

Like, the comedic potential here? Nina and Inej girl talking but as soon as he walks in the room they switch to Ravkan?? Wylan and Nina chatting in Kerch but then switching to Fjerdan when Matthias walks in and suddenly Kaz has completely lost track of the conversation?? Jesper saying something to Kaz in Zemeni that makes Nina howl with laughter, but neither of them will tell him what it was??? It’s so funny to me.

He would also absolutely start learning another language out of sheer spite if they did this, but I think it would be hilarious if he chose Kaelish and tried to use it with Jesper and Jesper would just be like “… I don’t speak Kaelish. I just know a little bit… I can sing in Kaelish, if you want?” and Kaz is so disappointed by this but he can’t show it so he just starts yelling at Nina in Kaelish instead. She corrects his pronunciation and he nearly murders her.

From the SPOP Wiki:

You'll need it! ;)

Had a lot of fun with this one actually, I just kept forgetting to work on it lol. Still have a bit more to flesh out but this is the main gist of how to use it

The Bride of Shadows rework is coming to Itch in two weeks. I'll be doing a comprehensive post about it on launch day. In the meantime, I figured I'd share a bit of Wyransith with you. Wyransith is the fantasy language that the love interest Valdricht speaks in my interactive novel. In the new Dark Maiden story route, both of the love interests speak only Wyransith, placing a language barrier between them and your MC, even as sensual tension rapidly builds between them in the close quarters. While she struggles to understand them, they're more interested in keeping the MC in a state of undress than teaching her their language. I'm sure she'll learn. Eventually. In the meantime, here's a little lesson!

Wyransith (usually) follows a Subject - Object -Verb structure. Knowing that, let's examine the sentence: "Talven thy venirith myndir'vir, eri yn skeleth'vek."

Clause 1: talven thy venirith myndir'vir talven - if (conditional marker) thy - you (subject) venirith - that (object) myndir - to go/to start/to begin (verb) -vir - imperative marker

Clause 2: eri yn skeleth'vek eri - I (subject) yn - him/it (object) skeleth - to finish (verb) -vek - future tense suffix

"If you start that, I will finish it."

A gentle, but firm warning to the MC, who is (unknowingly) doing something provocative whilst feeding in Valdricht's lap.

I know what you're wondering. Why is myndir in the imperative form and not conjugated in its simple present form "myndin?"

The conditional clause signifies a hypothetical action that Valdricht is directly addressing. He isn't issuing a passive statement, but rather a warning regarding the action "to start."

Try thinking of it like this:

"If you do that thing..." = direct addressing of a potential action "If that thing happens..." = passive description of an event

The imperative myndir'vir captures the direct, personal nature of the warning. Valdricht isn't saying "if that thing gets started" - he's saying "if you start grinding against me that," placing the agency and choice squarely on the MC.

Note, I didn't say he's warning against the MC doing that. In fact, he'd much prefer that she continue.
