Language, Allies and Enemies
by Saihna Trollbane

Ancient Arathorian:

This is basically a language which for long has been dead, few knows how to speak it but some words still remain. As the old language is being studied, more and more of its remnants are being discovered. The language itself is hard spoken. As said very -VERY- few people can speak it fluently, and the language itself isn't really used to make full sentences. But the words that live on are used for simple phrases, war-cries, nicknames and things along the lines.

The Ancient Arathorian is the language of the misshapen vry'kul that came to Arathi many many years ago. Some phrases and words lived on in the new language of the Arathorian people (this new Arathorian is spoken in the channel /Arathorian and is a simplified version of Ancient Arathorian, using some phrases and sounds from ancient time, but is also mixed with common).

OOC: The Ancient language's list is not there to create a whole language. It is there to help making simple phrases and words to create nicknames and ranks etc. To keep the list small and simple only a selective few people may add words to it. Anyone can ask for a word to be translated by writing the english word as a comment to this post. One of the seletive few people will then decide whether or not it needs to be translated, and translates it; adding it to the list. This is to keep the language in the same tone and style that was originally formed.

Arathorian Vow:

This vow, is one that every member of the Kingdom should know by heart. Preferebly it is to be spoken when one is initiated into the Kingdom, to swear your alligance and loyalty.

"I promise, to give my body and mind to the Kingdom of Arathor. I will defend her with all my might. I shall never betray my people, I shall never leave my duties, and I shall never falter. From this day forward, I pledge my life to the greater good of the Kingdom."

In Ancient Arathorian:
"E funti, alan kar fi Hal es Gint an kan Truki al Anakar. E funta wakin alu ne funder. Elu ker van betray so Dian. Elu ker van ket so Weru. Elu ker van diat. Enu kan dei vana, E varak kar kan uk gurt ale Truki"
