About Ithril
One of the language of the elves in my fantasy world. This is the oldest still surviving language as it has been basically unchanged in the last 5000 years. It is the lingua franca of the elves and the language of the elvish justice system in fact if a document or treaty is not written in it, no elf will take it seriously. Even to this day an elf legally cannot call themselves a 'vjamjetsha' unless they speak Ityrale.
