I was actually working on the monetary system, but I needed to figure out what coins looked like, and I was already working on languages anyway… so this week’s lore post is gonna be about Kibran alphabets. For those who prefer the WorldAnvil format, the article is also available over…
This post is a sort of heads-up. Thing is, life’s been happening, and I now suddenly have more time to read and write than to do graphics. To be clear, it does NOT, in any way, shape, or form, mean that I’m discontinuing the webcomic. I might have to take…
I’ve started working on the World Anvil profile for Uncharred again (nothing I’m particularly proud of yet, so no links). The main struggle is figuring out the point of view, oddly enough. When I was doing the monthly meditations last year, I noticed that I default to talking about Halqueme…
Happy New Year, everyone! May 2022 be kinder to us all than 2021 has been 🥂 Because conlanging has been such an important part of my life for the last couple of months, I couldn’t contain the urge to actually make greeting cards in some of Halqueme’s languages. So here…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 162 is up! Citizen Officiary and Colonel Teyr have opinions about the Republic’s political elite. Marshal Deguisay, meanwhile, has opinions about his job description. In other news, I’m still working on the Halcian language, and I just learned that the Marshal’s last name is apparently…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 161 is up! The Consul might have an interesting conversation ahead of him. No translation to Halcian this week, because I found out that Celtic languages (and therefore, presumably, Halcian) have no infinitive verb form and instead use something called verbnoun. Still wrapping my head…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 160 is up! So, yeah, that plan of Neia’s to talk to the editor even should the editor be dead already? Didn’t quite work out. Bonus #1. I do have another translation into Halcian for anyone who’s interested. Halcian is heavily based on Proto-Celtic, and…
At War’s Edge webcomic episodes 158-159 are up! Colonel Teyr has some questions. Citizen Ruig has some answers. There’s also a bonus. Thing is, I’ve had a really stressful few weeks, and I tend to do weird language-related stuff when I’m stressed. Like, at one point I read a Sumerian…
The tenth month of the year is called the Dusk-month in Halqueme. It is the time to be aware of the lerale of Earth — of rock and stone and of all solid matter that isn’t alive. The lerale of Earth is one of the three eldest leralath. In many…
Translation convention is a great device and I love it (and use it) to bits. But sometimes it just causes issues. So — something of a language rant incoming 🙂 Both in the webcomic and in prose, I use English to represent the PoV language. Both Bereghins and Halcians in…
