『 RUNARCS 』 (This project is about some lore of Arcany, which is one of my worlds (co-owned by @Parnard2 and Almandin, but the lore here is only official for my version)) "Runarc" is the name of an alphabet I created. It's also the name a language I created. And it's also the name of all the symbols that represent stuff (like d3mons, families, etc). "runarc" literally means "overall alphabet" or something, in runarc (lol). Irl, it comes from "rune" and "arc" ("arc" is from Arcany). ◈◈◈ About the alphabet ◈◈◈ Idk how many different "letters" there is, but each of them has multiple versions, that you use depending on what the letters around are, and how does the word/sentence look like. The only real rule is that it's supposed to be aesthetic No I won't give you the alphabet Shoutout to @Pawlight93823 for finding a scary amount of letters :_D ◈◈◈ About the language ◈◈◈ Every word is made of 3 letters (<- this is theory, but in fact it's based on prononciation more than actual letters). It doesn't work like english, or french, or whatever. There's no "word category", no endless lists of "exceptions" to learn, NO gRaMmAr (✨:0✨). All you have to learn is a super long list of 3-letters words. And you have to put them in the right order if you don't want people to misunderstand you ofc. As of right now, I have a little more than 200 words (wait, didn't know I had so many :0 ). To make prononciation possible, you sometimes have to use "unnecessary letters" between the 3-letters words. When a word association is used often, it can be considered as a longer word, and everyone will "build" it the same way. I created it mostly by trying to give a meaning to my characters' names. So most of the names I use mean something in runarc! (and it's often spoiler!) :D Eg. of runarc word : Nyko's full name is "Nykolas". Canonically, it's made of the runarc "yko" and "las", the "N" is what I called an "unnecessary letter" somewhere above, it’s used to make the name look better or something. If I didn't tell you that, you could've find other runarcs in his name, like "kol" (which means something too :D). For names, the only person to know what it means exactly, is the person that gave the name. For Nyko, it's his mother, and she meant "yko" + "las". If you're still reading, here is a cookie *gives cookie* and a runarc -> "yko" (or more commonly "iko") means "black" (like, the color). (don't ask what "las" means, I haven't decided yet lol) You can ask about any character's name, but I won't tell you, if it's spoiler :D You can even ask if the name of YOUR character means something, I'll be super happy to tell you ^^ ◈◈◈ About bigger runarcs ◈◈◈ On Arcany, they only call "runarcs" this third category. It's words that are 4-letters long, and they are only used by d3mons (they also created the alphabet that humans use). Some families (like, uh, Nyko's family) use a runarc from this category as an emblem (dw they don't risk anything by doing that). Every d3mon also has 1 runarc of this category that is their true name. It basically means that if you draw the symbol, you call them. They probably won't answer unless they care about you, tho (and it doesn't work on Earth coz they don't know Earth lol) ◈◈◈ <- This is how ads possibly look like in their world ig (ask me stuff about it! >:0 ) It's 12 Alkys if you want to buy the thing btw. It's pretty cheap, trust (Alky = currency on Arcany) The lil creature is not a living being, it's actually an ink being (it's not alive btw) created using magic (at least two characters have this power, and you know one of them :D). The ad is not to sell the creature, but it kinda promotes it while selling actual stuff (ads doesn’t work like on Earth) That’s all! Congrats for reading it all, and here’s another cookie *throws cookie through the screen* (I have teleportation powers, trust)
