Angric
Lost But Not Forgotten
Before the Ivory Congregation reintroduced themselves to Greater Anghor, very little of Anghor's ancient past resonated with its average denizens. Whether this was intentional or not is disputed, however the fact remained Angric history begins just after the Éothéod (T.A. 1856 to 2510, the ancient people of Rohan) were defeated by Sauron and fled north through Greenwood the Great Forest. There they encountered, fought, and defeated the Ænthror, who they themselves then fled further north, over the Grey Mountains.Culture Mixing
The Ænthror's interaction, and ultimate confrontation, with the the native people known simply as the Heorrenda, has been traditionally told as a melting of the two cultures. This claim has recently been disputed, especially since the discovery of the the first Book of Letters by an adventure troop known as The Traveling Minstrels. Within this tome, the seeds of the true acrimony, or perhaps subjugation, of the Herorrendan people are only just now being revealed. Regardless, it is still generally accepted that between the two people one language emerged, now commonly called Angric.Angric
The discovery of the Book of Letters, combined with a trove of old correspondences found in the basement of Smaug's Lair Tavern, has greatly accelerated the rediscovery, and ultimate translation of ancient Angric. The scholar Eschelon spent the better part of the year after the Siege of Summershaw working, researching, and collaborating with Mantor at his library deciphering the syntax, words, and etymology of Angric. Later, this progress was impeded, when a search was issued by Grady Mcreaery to find any and all ancient texts in the land, which has caused friction between the speculators and the scholars in the area.Tenses
The trickiest part of learning and indeed deciphering ancient Angric, is its distinct lack of tenses. The language only uses present tense verbs and syntax. Whether or not this is a glimpse into the people who once spoke this language is a mystery, though most researchers agree there is a connection waiting to be made.
