Languages and Customs

 

 

Emulating the great J.R.R. Tolkien, Tycho Brahe chronicled the languages of his novels in lavish detail, with many of the languages listed below having a complete grammar, phonology, and ample lexicon. Some conjecture that these languages were the product of Brahe's drinking and pill binge, but nonetheless, fans around the world can be found parlaying in Darv, K'th's, or even The War Men's Brutal, Guttural War-Tongue, Shokurung.
