Buried in old notes from the first book I wrote, I’ve unearthed a time capsule, the first language I tried to create for my fantasy series. Within half-broken spell systems and arcane grammar gibberish, I found a language I’d forgotten. But it gave me the bones for what would become Brodacci—an actual, living language in the DLS.

It’s not a cipher. Not a worldbuilding exercise.

A feral tongue, guttural and unknowable. It wasn’t like French where it flows, nor poetic like Italian. No, this is something you could hear being spoken by an orc, or a goblin, or even a troll.
