Star Hand Language Language in The Thirteen Realms | World Anvil

Star Hand Language

The primary sign language used in the Demon Realm  While a large portion of the demon population have four arms, this language usually only utilizes two - as it is often attributed to Mahen, the Deity of Artisans, who would sign while working. As such, having one pair of hands free for other activities while communicating is a key aspect of SHL. However, the second set of hands may be used for emphasis when available.    As it originates with an artisan, the motions are marked by soft and flowing motions.
