    Summary

    This is a collection of essays because many of my friends have found elements of this work more useful and complete in its original "special interest infodump" stage than Project Elvhen, so I thought it might be helpful to non-linguist fans who might also be left scratching their heads about some of FenXShiral's work. In the manner of many academics, I have both borrowed from and expanded upon the original. As a note, as I work on this, some of the individual words in the translations may change. That's not because I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm also learning and solidifying more as I write the guide/gain more info from Veilguard, and I'm going to be tweaking it until I'm satisfied, but I want to share what I do have with you!

    This is a labor of love, and I have been fiddling with it for years. It's my ultimate goal to make this a speakable language, pushed beyond the cipher, with words that are useful to your average speaker trying to learn it. I also intend to apply a radically kind perspective on the Dalish throughout the work, not tainted by the Chantry's perspective of this ancient and beautiful culture.

    Ready to learn to really speak Elvhen this time? Let's do this.

    Summary

    It has been suggested that White Diamond got her ideas of how she had to be and run things from simply being told so by some Even Higher Power, but personally, I'd find this a little repetitive and not all that interesting, so here is an exploration of the Diamonds' backstory and, by extension, the origins of the gempire.

    The other Diamonds come in in the second chapter.

    EDIT: I’ve decided to finish it after all. You can thank those three or four people who left sad comments regarding my post-"volleyball" ragequit..
