About Tepeza
Tepeza is the historical language of the Pezan empire, which was one of the greatest rivals of the Akalix empire. This is the classical, written form of it, which has not been used significantly since the Sacking of Peza in 357 NWJ. Before that, it served as a lingua franca in southwestern Katiin.
