Khazgrun

Spoken In: Eastern Dwôrven Republic (EDR) and its territories.

Evolved From: Durinkhâld (Ancient Dwôrven); reshaped through clan reunification and multi-species integration after the Sundering War.

Script: Hybrid glyph set drawing from Durinkhâld angular forms and convergent clan scripts; alphabet, left-to-right.

Common Use: Daily speech, industry, diplomacy, trade, and labor organizing across the EDR.

Note: Khazgrun is the only language on Adamah with dedicated base vocabulary for capitalism, exploitation, and collective resistance.

Khazgrun is how the EDR talks. It descends from Durinkhâld, but the clan reunification after the Sundering War broke the old language open and let labor, politics, and multi-species contact pour in. What came out is a tongue built for workshop floors and union halls, dense with the vocabulary of collective action, and blunt about wealth and power in a way no other language on Adamah matches.

The numbers and noun cases carried forward from Durinkhâld mostly intact. The pronouns did not. During reunification the clans built a new pronoun set around the khaz- root: khaz (I), khadul (we), khadan (union). Belonging got encoded into the grammar.

"Khazgrun has a word for 'sellout', Zarîdûn. It's in the base vocabulary, not slang. Same tier as 'family' and 'honor.' That tells you everything about what the people who built this language had already been through."
