Bradecblightic

Bradecblightic was an ancient language that existed in Zoquiyo, on Ummarnu, for thousands of years. It is predicted that lost Huitca traveling from the east integrated into the tribes of the Dashuri Elves to form this strange language.

The Discovery
On January 2nd 2021, Toronto, while digging a staircase that leads up Mt. Yaultik (The large hill next to the Village of Farafin), accidently stumbled upon a cave. While investigating the caves interior, he found some hieroglyphs in a language long forgotten. Despite them being dusty and hard to read, Toronto concluded that these hieroglyphs are remnants of the EOTR, and of an Ancient tribe that lived along Zoquiyo's North Coast. Toronto has begun decoding this forgotten language, and has already discovered their word for their old capital, which was known as "Bradecblight". Toronto, in his studies, noted that the "Badecht" was their word for farming, and that "Bligr" was their word for hills.

Toronto noticed that they have a bunch of single words, but when making a sentence, they combine words together. To combine two words together, they take the last letter of the second word and make it to the second letter of the first word, and they take the last two letters of the first word, and move it to the end of the second word. They also speak backwards, so instead of saying Hilly Farm, they say Farm that is Hilly. That means "Hilly Farms", which is "Bligr" and "Badecht" accordingly, becomes Bradecblight.

Modern Day Impacts on Language (Disputed)
A minority of the Rathnir Scholarly community for linguistics theorizes that the common suffix of "-ia" used in many nations of Rathnir originated in Nieden. Particularly the honourable Prime Minister Toronto Dougwald is credited for theorising a possible migration of the Snydii people to the modern-day Tsar's Folly Peninsula, for introducing the suffix to the dune elves of Ummarnu and of Syltör, and that from there, the Kemal-Elves, after many years, transformed the word into "Zoquia", supposedly, the first use of the suffix to describe the "land of-".

Dougwald suggests, that many millennia later, the term of Zoquia in Ummarnu spread into the Ashurite Tribes to the north via trade. Here the term was short-lived, as the Ashurite word for clay, Zoqus, still enjoyed preference over the foreign term.

Due to the linguistic differences between the Ummarnu and Syltör Tribes, after a few hundred years, the northern Elf tribes in Syltör dropped the "Zoq" and adapted the use of "-ia" as a descriptive element at the end of a people group's identifying name, when referencing the land they inhabited. This practice, via trade routes, eventually spread from Ashura, across northern Syltör, and south to the Talawan Kingdoms. In the modern times, the most prominent use of the suffix "ia" is in Bardonia, although this origin theory is heavily disputed within academia.

There is some evidence for the usage of "-ia" having the origin Dougwald suggests. For one, the popularization of the practice within Ashurite Tribes in Syltör had an undeniable impact on the naming conventions of various states, regions and nations. Additionally, Dougwald's research shows signs that both the name of the land, Zoquia, and its Ashurite root word Zoqus, remained in usage in Ummarnu and Ummarnu Elvan societies, who with increasing Ashurite contact reappropriated the term to mean "Land of Clay".

A more tenuous claim of Dougwald's is that the Ancient Huitca came to the land a thousand years later, by which time the term Zoquia had been transformed into the new word of "Zoyo'qui". The Ancient Huitca adopted the Elvan word for the land as Zoquiyo, and as they Integrated into the Dashuri/Kemal Elvan populations, this word stuck around. After four generations the Hiarllii people, of mixed Huitca and Elvan descent, used the word Zoquiyo to refer to the land in their new intertwined language of Bradecblightic.

The Dark Future
On January 8th, After further documentation of this ancient language, Toronto discovered something that quite scared him. After translating a wall of ancient Bradecblight text, Toronto came across text that read: "Mahobius Indsjal dadricka Bradech yetoi'kloa briqn farafini siu ustopa. Bradecblight ipotl yd'ek&gif ioe tepetl palettea bhuen lea toptlas. Lea yetoi'kloa briqn undanstra'jma. Toptlas bao frea prowg'etta Yaop Bradechblight Radjner lea bre0oklota ay lea bilrght. Lea yetoi'kloa briqn ay lea topotlas ustopa grta lea ish Radjner. Uio Paletta tyikla farafin. Calibrius, Mahobius, ay dadrikra bladeckt grta tea ish Radjner eu briqn. ;;Beir'hiarllii;;"

After weeks, and months of translating, Toronto noticed a pattern. This text kept mentioning the phrase "yetoi'kloa briqn", and "Radjner". He eventually figured out that " yetoi'kloa briqn" is made up of 3 words. Yetgn, kloi, and brioa. Yetgn is the Bradecblightic word for Alone, kloi is their word for Darkness, and brioa is their word for burning. These words together create the phrase "The burns of the darkness". The fact these words repeated scared Toronto. He also translated "Radjner" into Rathnir. Here is the rough translation of the sentence:

"May Mahobius have mercy on our rural land, for when the fire comes from the sea, and sky, it cannot be stopped. Bradecblight is in danger, for no flower petel from Plagatea to Tepetl will be safe, for the world will soon topple. The darkness' burns are unstoppable. No beauty in Bradecblight, or the rest of Rathnir is safe from the Great Topple, for the world will break, and no light will be left to shine. The darkness' burns will destroy Rathnir's society and there is no way to stop the great war. May Paletta be kept safe from the danger's that the sea will unleash. May the gods of Calibrius, Mahobius, The Two Fruits of Mercy, and Dadrikra, hear our prayer when Rathnir ends: 'Long Live the Hiarllii'"

After reading the newly translated text, Toronto felt a shiver down his spine. It mentioned a Great War, and since the YA-Trillium War was on the horizon, Toronto immediately theorized that this was the Bradecblight foreshadowing the end of a great war in flames that will engulf the world, which will be cooled down by the sea to start anew. He doesn't know when the end will be, but that the YA-Trillium war may have something to do with Rathnir's downfall. Something that caught Toronto's eye is their prayer to 5 gods, Calibrius, Mahobius, and the Great Fruits of Mercy, and Dadrikra. Toronto thought is was extremely suspicious how some of these sounded like the Cardinalist Gods of Tlahatl.

Toronto hypothesizes that Mahobius is Meclahua, that Calibrius is Cualitzin, and the Fruits of Mercy is Tlahatepa, and Xoacoatl respectively. This would make sense, because at the beginning of the text, they pray to Mahobious for Mercy. The first thing that confused Toronto was the "Two Fruits of Mercy", and why Xoacoatl and Tlahatepa were referred to together. The current theory for this is that since Tlahatepa is the God of Fertility, and that Xoacoatl is the God of Death, since death and life go hand in hand, they are referred to equally as the Gods, or Fruits of Mercy, with Fruits possibly referring to that while they are different, they are both the same, because one cannot exist without the other. Why Tlahatepa was chosen for this, but Cualitzin wasn't is a mystery. Perhaps the Gods roles got reveresed to the Bradecblight People.

The second thing that confused Toronto the most, however, was who Dadrikra was.

After some intense research through PPC Historic Archives, Toronto discovered earlier findings of Ashurite Dune Elves known as Dashuri living on the land already. The Ashurites worshipped a Goddess called A'ashia, so that is what this could refer to.

If Mahobious is Meclahua, then they are praying to the God of Destruction for Mercy and safety. The phrase at the end, "Long Live the Hiarllii" also caught Toronto's eye. The legend has it that the Huitca came to inhabit Cuiciloa by traveling from the east, led by the first Tlatoani and Tlahatepa. Perhaps, however, a group either got lost, or split up and settled here instead, and evolved to become the Bradecblight people. Over time, as they integrated and bred with the Dashuri Elves, their language must have developed differently from the Huitca, and they must have eventually became the Hiarllii. That is also a plausable explanation as to why they both end with "i".

How Bradecblight fell, is still a mystery.

The Bradecblight, somehow knew what Plagatea and Tepetl was, despite both of these places likely being unnamed at the time. How they knew this is unknown.
