About Tarvaquish
Tarvaquish is a language in early going for a Game Art Project. On the planet known as "Tarvanys", this is the tongue you may hear the most. The tarkaquish people are proud and fierce warriors and farmers, living in warm and hued lands. They are dark-skined and their hair is kinky and colourful, braided or adorned with golden trinkets and gems. Unhappily, the Tarvaqs are going through unprecedented troubles, as their planet is progressively dying out. As forests and fields are giving way to deserts, and ruins replaces once marvelous cities, the intrusive Empire of the Meglorians plunders what is left of this civilation. Someday, a hero - a son of impure blood - will rise and take revenge for his kind. But this day is not coming yet !
