Alas, I do not right now have time to do more than skim the first half. Very interesting though - this looks to be a truly matriarchial society. Can't wait to see more of Arcel.

Second, an ilii language. The only hint at the nature of ilii languages is a passage in the page on Cuezi that ilian writing doesn't easily transfer to human phonetics (in the discussion of the origin of the Cuezi alphabet). How do they speak underwater, and how do they speak above water? Are their...

While we're on the subject, how exactly do the Bekkayans physically get across the Zone of Fire?

I plan to wait until everything's up before I look at the atlas in detail, but from what I've seen so far it looks very cool. I love the little skourene-mei animation.

This was from an #almea conversation when Cev was playing Final Fantasy VII's Battle Arena and whining on the channel about the status effects he was getting: [20:02] Xephyr: shit i got toad [20:02] lesbian_vampire_consultant: shoulda worn a white cape [20:02] Xephyr: SHIT FUKC UC FUKC [20:02] Xephy...

My given name "Gregory" comes from Greek and means something like "watchful one". Assuming I translated correctly, in Verdurian that'd be Leleneotene.

Eteod?ole. It's all about Eteod?ole.

So in your particular game were there actually 17 (or more) evil wizards? Were they important to the game, or were they more like side characters? Forgive my dumb questions, I've never played D&D.

Wizards don't come up much in the Atlas because wizards aren't very important in Almean historical geography. um... how could they not be? nobody said Almea has to be exactly like Middle Earth, but damn, if they can transport people through space, there's got to be something more practical they can...

I've mentioned before that I really dislike how Cadhinor and its descendants were purposely based off of European languages. It ruins the suspension of disbelief, in my opinion.

I am interested in the course, but I probably will not have time this summer to learn it. Will this course be similar to the Verdurian one? although I have to say I have a crush on Isma?n, so I would probably learn that one first Dude, Isma?n is a total slut, and ugly to boot. What's wrong with you?...

In terms of uniqueness and interesting features, Elkaril hands down. I especially like the assignment anaphora system. In terms of how the language actually sounds, Cuezi is tied with Cadhinor. Apart from those I don't care much for the Cadhinorian branch of the Eastern family- the language are too ...

The Skourenes remind me of the Ferengi from Star Trek, what with the obsession with business.

The UK kicks ass!

My friend Evan would be pleased to know that the people of Xurno consider him a God

Might it have had something to do with the fact that Almea was originally concieved as a D&D setting?

What the hell were you thinking!?





















"Alameia", written in the Cadhinorian script, would've been so much cooler.

I ought to know what the male equivalent of a Fallopian tube is, yet I can’t remember it.

Vas deferens?

You know, I don't think that I've said the word "uterus" in over six months.

Vagina, I've said. Clitoris, I've said. But not uterus. Wierd.

[quote=Verdurian Drilldown] the fact that certain of the gods of Almea can be identified with '70s terrestrial rock stars does not really decide the question either way[/quote]

Which gods and which terrestrial rock stars? Or was this just a joke?

Whenever I see Ktuvok, I am reminded of Tuvok, from Star Trek: Voyager.

So it's not just me...

For the most part, you did a good job. I'd think that a Verdurian would have it difficult understanding what you're trying to say, but you'd do a better job than your friend. These are just minor, technical errors. Except, of course, for confusing cira and mira. Oedipus isn't saying this, and I hav...

I'm trying to say "My mother will not give the soapstone to the cleric". Is this translation correct? Es? cira rho dame ricora so adhom?n. I asked someone I know to translate it, and he got: [blank] cira vulei rho dan [blank] sabundhume pro [blank] [blank]. Where might he have gotten "vueli" and "sa...
