weird that the fallen don’t have k, x, or z letters, esp considering a lot of their names and words use those letters. mithrax, variks, skolas, aksis, taniks, thaviks, for various names. their word for guardians is “zer” (tr. Gifted), which has a z. even the name of their people--eliksni--has a k. so unless this isn’t accurate? i wanna know about the fallen’s language conventions and rules. are the symbols really 1 for 1 as a phonographic language, or is it a more logographic written language? it would make sense for it to be more logographic, i think, what with the importance of symbols to the fallen.
