Kaladouni

Kaladouni is one of Olam's most ancient languages. It evolved over the years, seeing mostly use by ancient poets and philosophers, to become fantastically vast and expressive. Outside the secluded Kaladoun Valley where it is spoken, very few individuals can read or speak in the language. The select few who do are travelers who visited the Valley before the fall of the Khazav family, or historians who managed to put their hands on rare writings.

Kaladouni Poetry:

Early Kaladouni poets did not title or place their name on poetry as they believed that one can never "claim ownership" of a poem, it is shared with the people.

He would send sounds of flute to the sands of the desert; he fondled her tender body and the storm ravaged it all; cease being like the sands, I want you like a rock; he promised to not wander again like the sands; a voice calls to wander

Fly, young bird, cut the sky; fly true to wherever you want; just don't forget there is an eagle in the skies; beware

Sitting at the beach in front of the water; in front of foam that is forgotten in the sand; and the brooks flow still; a beating heart remembers all; what was in our childhood; what we became; the wind carried great hopes; an autumn of memories returned

You and I will change the world; You and I, the others will then come; people have already said this before me; It does not matter; You and I will change the world
