Alnirish
Alnirish is the modern language of the Sovereign Elven Dominion of Alnira — engineered as much as it evolved. In the aftermath of the Great Fissure of the Elves, when elven survivors migrated to the newly founded city of Lustra, they needed a language that could keep pace with rapid technological advancement and scientific discovery. Alnirish was the answer.
The language is defined by efficiency and precision. Its angular characters compress meaning, its compound words eliminate redundancy, and its grammar is built for clarity above all else. From street-level slang to complex scientific discourse, Alnirish reflects a culture that values forward motion.
