Hanasprochen

This is a reference document for naming later on as well as a quick history of the language.   Hanasprochen is an ancient language that was spoken before the kingdom's reforming and was dying out when the Red King descended. The Red King is actually the reason for the language completely dead out and now is only used during religious ceremonies, royal events, and legal documents. Even though it is used during these events, even those who use it do now know the language. They use the words they need for rituals or ceremonies but very few can speak it or write it. Those who know it are generally historians who study the time when it was spoken or lawmakers. Nobles, despite making the laws, don't write them so even they lack knowledge of the language.   Despite the language already dying out by the time Pacellum was formed, all major cities are named with this language. Atemdo is called the wind and was founded by magic users who resonate with the wind. Glatkori is named after the ground. Likari is light and was named to be the first city all travelers reach once entering Pacellum.  
Even Pacellum is named from Hanasprochen. The Red King, while being the reason for riding the use of the language had a great love for the language as it is a language most connected with the Earth and Heavens and with the right invocation can shake the world. The Red King chose the name Pacellum to represent his desire for his people, peace. He named the kingdom peace in hopes of reminding each generation what to value and also to always try to seek out a peaceful solution before going to war. (This reminder was not useful as Pacellum continues to go to war. And the current king is seen as a fool because he wished for peace.)
