Jotunalder

The ancient language of Hrissgamondr's children. Written Jotunalder is runic in nature, though far less jagged and sharp than Aragrakh. Jotunalder has a lilting, almost song-like quality to its pronunciation, so it tends to be well-suited to bardic creations like ballads and cants. Ancestry is very important to the native speakers of this language, so most greetings and many phrases contain recitations or invocations of one's ancestors. Notably, Jotunalder can also be spoken with hand signals, rather than vocalizations.
