Re: Akana Conlang Relay (Standing Under the Mistletoe.)

Bump.

I'm attempting to get back in the saddle as far as my university studies go and have only just now received the new link to the fora (thanks x 10⁶, cedh!) but rest assured that I have not forgotten about the relay.

OK, why not start out by describing the earliest histories of your peoples? Where and when and why does prehistory end and recorded history begin?

It is a conlang relay set in Akana, and it has pumpkin.
I don't see a pumpkin anywhere...
I vote we append the epithet "Cursed Relay 2" as per the nickname Darkgamma gave this relay earlier on in this thread.

OK. Here's the basic idea I've got so far as the prelude to Ḥaqeph U. If any of you have any objections to the use of your respective cultures in it, please let me know. Also, I'm going to move the start of the civil war a couple of years closer to zero. So after the humiliation of the Ǧakærirr crow...

So far, it seems that we have Ǧakærirr U, the Qicui, the Baktarci, the Mai as involved parties. Anybody else want to join in the fray? (Perhaps Ollock's culture might take the oppo...
