Phrases of the World
I had a funkie little angle for Roads To Magic that i wanted to try out; and that was mostly making new words and terms as identifiers for the different parts (and technically species) of the world. To Prevent burnout, I'm intending to only focus on the ones that will be spoken about and mentioned within the book I'm working on now, which will essentially look like this! [colloquial term] = ["location specific" term]
Part of this is because i want to solidify the mass difference between the three worlds that Roads To Magic will be exploring. The first one (and the focus of this particular post) will be covering some of the colloquial or 'slang' terms verse the ones that are written in history books, with the pronunciations for them as well! My favorites so far (and the only ones that I have at this current moment) are as follows!
Werewolf = Wolshi [Wool-She]
Vampire = Mafee [Ma Fee]
Non-Magic Born = NoMa [No-ma]
Magic Born = Mabo [Ma-Bow]
Faerie = Minfle [Min-flea]
Shadow Demon/Creature = Shawal [Shae-Wall]
Dragons = Fimabo [Fee-ma-bow]
Giants/Titans = Gibroma [Gi-bro-Ma]
I'm gonna try and keep specific posts about each species tagged as both their colloquial term and the in-world specific ones! I'm really excited to share my knowledge with you all!
