About proto-ikarma
This is the proto-language of a culture that lives in a forested region in a fairly northern place - around the latitude and climate of northeastern Europe, in a land of deep forests, fast rivers, and cold winters that both influence their wat and life and language. Their society and culture is divided into tribes and they are very superstitious people who believe in and worship many deities and spirits, consulting the shaman on matters of the spirit world.
