So, after playing this twice, I only figured out the second time around what was really going on, partially due to the note at the bottom about trying to figure out why the kingdom had been hidden. based on the comments and context, I htink i have figured MOST of it out.

To this end, as I did with “my friends the monster trainers”, I have written some in-character notes as a response to our friend who sent the signal. I have tried to frame it in a way that would be the most comprehensible to him.

There was one term I haven’t fully been able to translate, also included below.


The term I have been unable to translate is Oloth/olaith/oleth-til. It litterally translates to ‘child-first’, but seems to have additional connotations? My best guess is ‘firstborn’, but I’ve also seen Oleth-Vol exactly once, so Im not sure. Im also not sure What Tale means, since Tale-Sevol is used exactly once, and tale is not used anywhere else.

I also have not been able to figure out exactly where trevosa begins and ends. I believe it is within my house, but I am unsure if the new solaam-varelen(roughly translated to giant/god family) is within another house or not. However, I have deduced that the seelot are worms, the fanaat are either cockroachs or ants, likely the latter, the yefscet are flies, and the efscet are probably snakes. as far as I can tell, this ‘solaam’ has a garden, being the field of beasts. Or atleast a backyard. I think the Nyscet, considering its eating of mascet and fur, is probably a cat. This response is based off those assumptions.


To Ludir, oloth-til of Oreleth-cyno-taayen of Trevosa. My hope is, with time, you will be able to understand this message.

You are the first of the theevei to truly attempt to speak to me this way. There are many things I could tell you, but most of it would be knowledge you would have no use for or be unequipped to understand. Nonetheless, I do have wisdom to impart.

Though Lonara is the true heir, and your claim she will be a good one is not a lie, varelen is not a guarantee of virtue, nor is it a guarantee of wickedness. In the future, there may be a Cyne who was chosen according to your laws, but is unfit and unworthy. A Cyne must serve the theevei, not the other way around. If they fail to do this and enrich themselves at the cost of those under them, they are unworthy.

Lastly, as you have made a request of me, I have a request for you that I wish you to spread to Trevosa at large. Please make sure the mascet the theevei train and use are washed and cleaned as often as possible, and that any waste they leave behind is cleaned up. For as long as this is done, I will keep the nyscet at bay.

tale is the gender neutral for parent i believe, so tale-sevol would be uncle (literally parent-brother). I also agree that oloth-til is firstborn

Generally, it seems that o as a suffix is masculine, with ai as feminine and e as gender neutral. Hence why oloth differs from olaith differs from oleth, but all are relatively interchangeable. Oloth means son. The added "til" is a number: one. You can see all the numbers by how they are listed for the rulers and in the rules of the realm document. Oloth-Til then means first-born son. Oloth-Vol would be second-born son.

I love the letter, thanks for engaging with the game! I’m glad you liked it.
