Drawing Progress

The final sketch version of the drawing is almost complete. After that the next step will be lineart. The drawing is finally starting to get the results I was hoping a lot. When I finally start lineart, I'll send another message to @everyone. Good Night. :3

Super Tiny Updates! Chapter 1 Complete!

Tiny surprise! Today I was sick, but that wasn't enough to stop me from finishing my tiny promise! Today chapter 1 is officially finished!

Almost 4000 lines of dialogue written, months producing the final version. I'm so glad this day has finally arrived.

At the moment now I'm going to rest a little for 1 day and I'm going to get ready to work with the drawings that I promised my special gift to the community.

I'll also do some updates on the fanfic site before I start turning the beta version of chapter 2 into the final version.

Good night everypony. And thank you all for your patience. :3

People from Driland call their realm Driland (Drill-and), and their language Drilish. However, people who speak Ai'Kavan natively (The majority of people in Aylagale and Aenrai), call Driland Driliad / Driiliiad (Dree-lee-aad) because in Aylagale, Driland is pronounced Drih-lund, while in Aenrai, it's pronounced Dree-lawnd, so they started calling it Driiliiad (Aylagalian spelling) / Driliad (Aenraian spelling) because it's easier for them to say. They also call Driland's spoken language Driliaa / Driiliia (Dree-lee-uh).

So, for example, when Zeladanial asks Kerebly if he could help her, she asks it something like "Kerebly, would you please help me with my Driiliia?" and he'd be a bit confused at first, then he'd get it.

Most people who speak Ai'Kavan natively and know Drilish/Driiliia as a second language tend to mash words together and speak with a few harsh consonants and long vowels, because Ai'Kavan is usually spoken fairly quickly. Zeladanial's practiced speaking Drilish slowly, but will mash words together and mix Ai'Kavan words in with Drilish when speaking Drilish quickly, or forgets a word in Drilish.

People who know Drilish as their native language and Ai'Kavan as their second usually have to speed up their speech, else it sounds off to those who speak Ai'Kavan natively.

People who speak Ai'Kavan natively and have speech difficulties speak at whatever speed is most comfortable for them. Those who are mute/deaf use hand gestures and arm motions to 'speak', much like ASL. It is widely believed that the use of hand and arm gestures to 'speak' originated from gestures used for a few spells and rituals to please the Gods and Goddesses.
