The thing Mirardots value above all else is violence. Violence is praised and killing is worshipped. Not death - the act of killing. The monarchy & the upper class teach their young kids to kill by at least the age of twelve. Anything strange is considered bad and weak. It is a homophobic, sexist, and classist culture. Their main holiday, the Festival of Blood, sacrifices an innocent peasant to the god Re'il'a. The only requirements for this sacrifice are that they are of the lower class, and not a useful servant.
The language of Mirardot has a clunky, awkward sound. Letters clash together. It is almost impossible for foreigners to pronounce - and they meant it to be this way. As they grew separate from the other kingdoms in Alilaseth, the language of Ancient Mirardot grew to have a more distinctive sound. Sometimes forced by the upper class so that no one else could learn it, sometimes by the natural progression of language.
In modern Mirardot, in the 1890s, Ancient Mirardot is an effectively dead language that only the upper class is allowed to learn. No one natively speaks it. There are fringe villages who speak Modern Mirardot but must hide it, for peasants are not allowed to learn any Ancient Mirardot. The upper class, including the monarchy, are not aware of this. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
