Hello fellow Exilian members!
Nolan here from Ars Tali Games, I'm creating this topic to showcase recent updates via our website and our Facebook - we'll do our best to showcase art and small writing pieces. Hopefully everyone enjoys our work as much as we do! :gandalfgrey:

Nice! Taking the old Tolkien viewpoint of getting the family trees thrashed out I see. :)
I'm thinking we need to sort you guys out with a subforum at some point, would make sense given you're now spread over multiple threads?
-
Thanks! I've always had a tendency for going overboard with characters and the histories behind them, but it's ultimately beneficial. To be honest, I'm pretty happy with this language as of yet - the alphabet worked beautifully and mixed with my own approach to Dhazudak/Dwarvish, it really comes across as both runic and gorgeous.
I think that'd be a good idea - albeit we have our own forums, they're not very active and I'd be happy to have a small sub-forum here setup so that we may update potential fans and hear feedback. :gandalfgrey:

Have PMed you about forums (fora?) :)
And yes, how far are you on with the language? Is it a fairly standard alphabet & familiar grammar, or something more unusual?
-
Sorry about the long delay, sort of missed the response!
With the Dhazudak it's roughly 200 words in now with a few tricks of grammar and a unique alphabet. The alphabets I've created for any and all races are always a bit different than the latin one we are accustomed to, thus they have a few random sounds at times - but there's a few key indicators as towards how they are pronounced.
I believe Sámssian is up to 900 words now..

Also leaving this here, we've done a new update on what has been accomplished in the last couple weeks, check it out!

Ooh, lots of new info! :)
Are Wizards long lived simply through exposure to magic, or do they have specific spells that cause this?
-
Wizards can and mostly do, live for extended periods of time due to Biomancy - the magic of maintain life itself. Most wizards focus on biomancy and human anatomy first, helps keep them and people they know alive - many townsfolk will think of wandering wizards as healers in many ways.
-
That makes sense, thanks :)

New update on magic and wizardry is now up on the main website!
