#8 - Languages and Magic

from Your Rivers Are Wrong · host Merle and Dante

"Seven runes separated the dungeoneers from the treasure of a lifetime. It was an ancient language, older than the history of their archives, but not beyond recognition. The dwarf traced the sigils with her fingertips. Primordial? Sylvan? No, the accents that hung above each rune indicated otherwise. She muttered a few words under her breath, lifting her fingers to the sky, tracing sigils of her own in a luminous blue. The spell took hold, and her eyes glowed a similar sapphire. She glanced at the runes once more. Ah, it was Draconic. Naturally." Languages and magic both stand the test of time as essential elements in fictional histories. Languages are often a key to the past, a blueprint for the understanding of foreign cultures unlocked only by the most studious of minds. Magic is, well, magic, presented in a myriad of different ways to otherwise shape the foundation of society as a whole. How can we as worldbuilders utilize them to define our creations, their limitations and possibilities? Tune in to find out.
