About Guliad
Giliyad is spoken by a foreboding culture of (mostly human) interplanar invaders who enslave strange alien beasts and constantly work at forging new and ever deadlier weapons in order to wage bloody wars of exploitation, assimilation, and extermination on anything and anyone that happens to get in their way.
