Nisxai Merlin
A raptor of the open country, used by elves to hunt small birds.
An Elf who favours the open country, preferring field to forest.
Ta Symbiosis
To maintain a symbiosis, as with nature, to participate equally in give and take. Tatä, to follow the rules, is well regarded, while tatär, to disregard them, less so. Hushed voices even whisper of taräŋ, disobedience to the high council, treachery.
Ujäl Shore
To move move towards danger, adventure and profit, and away from phit, the inland volcanic mountains. Where raiding parties would depart ujäl by wooden ship to pillage, metal mercantile vessels now depart with elaborate Elven crafts and return with riches.
Otomätï Grimoire
A reminder of the time Elves and Fae worked together, when the Fae shared deep magic with their Elf apprentices, this word comes from the Old Fae Language.
Maasnäs Navy
As the maasnäs gains increasing power in Elf society, spreading u, moral stories meant to instill discipline, some wonder about the fate of those they deem undesirable.
Uuxärväxtam Weeds
Plants which cause one difficulty, through bothersome protrusions such as thorns, or by crowding out other plants through excessive proliferation.
The Fae.
"Thatä Tatä." "It's good to follow the rules."
Elf society is deeply immersed in nature, complete with ideas of give and take, and symbiosis. Increasingly, though, these ideas are corrupted, used for control by the High Council, and the Navy - the Elf military.
The island used to be the homeland of the Fae, and Elf magic owes much to their instruction. However, since the military takeover of society, the Fae have been pushed out - and today's Elves unknowingly speak words of Fae origin.
