About Beestu
Beestu is the oldest of all languages spoken in Solleria. Dating back to the First Age of history, it is said that Beestu was handed down from the Apostos--the gods--to Serephor, the first king of Solleria. Beestu is different from that of all other languages in that it allows any being to control the world around them using the power of Roh. Because of its ancient origins, Beestu appears primal and simplistic.
