About Agirowen
Conlang built to be usable as a conversational language, a magical language, and a programmatic language, even all at once. Used some by Fluffy Subcat, and regularly used by Distrar Subcat for conversations and in Distrar's stories. Based on the unique slang spoken in Distrar's home village, with a lot of its words derived from names of Distrar's birth family members or from creatures in myths and fables told to children in that village. It's main country is officially the Magical Kingdom of Chinereya, which is the main setting of Distrar's stories.
It was originally inspired by Argon, the main magical language in Fluffy Subcat's books, but has since expanded to be much larger than Argon, to the point that Argon borrows extra words from it.
(By the way, the two magical kingdoms called Reblind and Chinereya, those of Fluffy Subcat and Distrar Subcat respectively, are canonically related. Chinereya descended from Reblind, since it used to be a colony of Reblind before slowly being forgotten as contact was lost between them.)
