About Dervhic
(currently undergoing a bit of a rework)
In order to understand Dervhic, one must first come to understand the culture of Dervh. Though Dervh may seem unimpressive at first glance, do not be fooled, Dervh is one of the most important players in not just Yorotranic history, but Niovean history as well. It prides itself on its nobility, of kings serving in the name of the gods, and in the name of the people. Politeness, and civility is highly emphasized in Dervhic culture, men and women who act without respect are often considered barbaric and uncultured. As such, the language has several ways in which you must talk to someone of a higher rank, this could be anyone from an older friend, to the King of Dervh himself.
