Biography
I'm fluent in all Draconic languages, including Coatl and Fae (whose position as a Draonic language I contest). I've even been piecing together the dead language written by our supposed predecessors, the Godbuilders. There's scant material to work with, and I suspect their minds operated very differently than ours do.
Before the discovery of the Obelisk, I spent some time in all forms - both felt equally right, and equally wrong. It gave me a unique perspective on breed dialects and the communication barriers between them.
But this.... feels right. This is my shape.
I have been learning and documenting the various beastclan tongues. It is an immense struggle, as most beastclan only learn the barest basics of Common Draconic in order to trade, and their languages can be...challenging to dragon ears and tongues. Safira, the Grove's authority on learning, has been of invaluable help.
I began with Serthis, assisted by the talented blueband, Hessia. She has mostly succeeded in teaching me her clan's dialect - for not all serthis speak the same language. Her grasp of Draconic is truly impressive, as is her patience with me. I find there is still much left to learn about the Sethis languages, but the northern dialects are often mutually intelligable, and I am conversational in one of them.
These efforts recently came to fruition in partially understanding the bizarre Porphyriacus. Although much of what he has to say is still a mystery, this is excellent progress. With luck, it may even be possible to teach him some of the basics of Common Draconic - though he seems unreceptive to the idea.
In a much-needed break from the serpentine tongues, I have looked towards the Talonok. They, too, have their dialects, though each is more widely-spoken than the many fragmented Serthis dialects; any one Talonok individual is likely to speak two or three dialects, usually those most local to where they grew up and where they live now - for they are often a migratory people.
My new assitant, Yin, hails from a western clan and speak little Draconic. She does, however, speak excellent Northern Serthis. Thus, we communicate through a tongue second to both of us, and learning one another's first language in this manner is a struggle. The going is glacial, but I am gaining a much richer understanding of the Serthis dialects and how they bleed into one another, so all is not lost.
Oh, the Deep Library? No.
No, I don't go there.
It makes me feel like I've forgotten something. It makes me feel like I'm forgetting everything.
I can't read the strange books in there. No-one can, except for that....
....
Stay away from the Deep Library.
