Language of the Lords

For the most time, when they open their mouths, Lords tend to speak in the language of the person they are talking to. However, they have their own language. A language filled with power. A language impossible to pronounce by humans. A language full of words, each capable of affecting reality.  

Two Words

There are two Words that are currently known of that language. Both of them have been used during the Extinction to destroy the humanity. There might have been more of them spoken during those times, however, there is almost no one left to share them, if that really happened.  
Suddenly, the mall went completely silent. Everyone inside died within a blink of an eye. Then, one of the bodies moved. It stood up and smiled. Another Lord woke up.
The one called The Word has the power to awaken the Lords. It is filled with so much power that anyone who hears it without being a host for the Lord, instantly dies. If, on the other hand, they are a host, their body and mind are overtaken by the being inside of them, creating a new Lord. During Extinction, this Word was broadcasted internationally through every possible medium to kill as many people as possible.
The moment the Lord spoke those few syllables, the Faceless Ones around him stopped. They started to scream, their flesh bulging and changing. They turned into mindless beasts, killing everything around them, even the ones they protected just a few moments ago.
The Word that Warps is a Word that affects the Spirits. Once spoken, it warps them, changing and enraging them. This Word was often used in the combat against Faceless Ones. Because they are beings that have a human soul and a Spirit merged together, this Word was an especially efficient way of getting rid of them. The Faceless One who heard it would turn into a Warped One, a monster taking on a form of their most secret fears.

History of the language

According to The Prophecy, the Lords used this language even when the humanity was still young. Since then, just like the Lords themselves, it hasn't changed at all. That is because every word has its meaning that can't be changed. Even when the concepts, a spiritual part of the world, change, they still stay the same.
