About Colossian
Meaxdanūr is mainly spoken in the Colossian Empire, which size is close to India. The Empire is vast and covers many cultures and a great variety of biomes.
Its area is separate into two main provinces :
- Aortheanāmr /ɔ:ɾˈt͡seɐno:ɾ/ to the East is a rich and warm peninsula, surrounded by four seas and the Ocean, and dominated by the ancient city of Axdaenur /aʃˈtɛ:nuɾ/, capital city of the Empire.
- To the West, the inland province of Pherianāmr /heˈɾiɐno:ɾ/ is colder and verdant, and enjoys one of the most fertile soil of the continent.
The province is surrounded by the Yaexgar /ˈjɛ:ʃkɐɾ/ mountain range to the West and the Ibninsūl /ˈiβninsuˑl/ – a huge salty lake – to the South. Its capital is Thelmat /t͡selˈmaʰt/, the City of the Bloodstar.
/!\ I’ve been working on Colossian for 5 years now, but it is still highly WIP!
