Elvish Language in Lyran Tal

Elves | Home

In the world of Lyran Tal the Elves speak their own language, as well as what is referred to as "Common." Elvish (also referred to as "Arborian") is lilting in cadence and musical in sound. Elves from other lands, including those that come through the portal, do not speak the Elvish of Lyran Tal, and must take the time to learn it if they wish to speak it.

Excerpted here are some of the words, places, and things found in stories set in Lyran Tal, as well as some general terms that may be useful. Additional words will be added as written stories grow. The intent is not to create a working language with many grammatical rules, but to simply add a touch of culture for those who wish to use it.

Using these terms is certainly not necessary for playing a native elf! During live play in the Crosswinds Tavern, the font "Symbol" is sometimes used to denote Lyran Tal Elvish, but as some chat clients do not display this font properly, this is not a recommended practice. Please denote the use of the Elvish language by referring to it in dialogue (i.e. ::...he said in Elvish:: or ::...he said in Arborian::).

For those interested in using Elven words, please do not use either a current Earth language or a language made for another setting, including Tolkien's languages from The Lord of the Rings, other novels, or the online dictionaries of "Elvish." Lyran Tal Press is committed to adhering to copyright laws as well as remaining unique, and the use of these other languages and labeling them Lyran Tal Elvish is in defiance of both.
