Agenda

1 ~ A-Gender . Welcome back, we have now pretty much mapped out the first Corner , but our storylines are starting to pull apart now, we have our roots in Newarre and our trunk in Vintas but now the Paths before us want to branch in different directions at once, but we can only follow one path at a time and the wise student will follow The path of the Book before them. That is of the Lethani. This 2corner will begin with the Adem. They are probably the strangest of all the races of man that we encounter and hold their secrets tightly. Stillness and silence are the heart of Ademre, something no barbarian could understand. Still, we can but try.

But you must always remember that this is Fantasy Fiction, not Fantasy Fact. That's a whole different ball game. Played in the room at the end of the corridor.  Therefore I have a rule. Since this is Not Planet Eart...

Thinfoil

Thinfoil A-ngel Thinfoil I must be hard for Pat, waiting all of this time for someone to finally come along and solve his fiendish puzzle.

Everyone would believe it. At this point everyone would say ‘oh yeah, right, that’s really clever, it all fits, that’s really obvious… with hindsight, I can see how you did it now that you point it out.’ all the while kicking thems-elves for not spotting it themselves. However, If I were to attempt to explain the exact same answer using the self same clues in my own, unofficial, hypo...

Tongue Twister

Tongue Twister Polyglots Given that we have as many languages today as there were once cities makes the case for the next revelation that each seperate group of Ergen citizens also had their own primary language a very strong one. The best evidence that all of today’s different nations of man once each lived in their own seperate cities instead of exhibiting the open minded atmosphere that we see at the University is through the evolution of language. Today, everyone speaks Aturan and Pat expands upon it’s origins nicely in the appendices of the 10Æ by explaining how Aturan is a modern language, invented as a tool to subdue a fractured nation into a new empire under one universal tongue. However, the older languages still persist to this day across the four corners and so for many people, such as Wilem, this newfangled universal language is only really a second language, deemed unnescessary for Cealds to learn in their homeland until it was considered practical to do so. Whilst it may ...
