Ixilaar

Spoken By: Bladelings, intelligent magical items. Script: Supernal

Magic is a strange thing and wizards and artificers often feel that it is a force they are discovering rather than an art they are creating. An example of this is the strange Ixilaar language, which is understood by all intelligent items. Whether a axe containing the spirit of a long-dead white wyrm, a crown that absorbed the personalities of all the emperors to wear it, or a primal spirit residing in a shaman's totem, these items all understand what is said to them in the Ixilaar grating tongue. Some arcanists think that Ixilaar is a sort of "natural harmonic" of magical energy while others think it is an ancient ur-language much like divine Supernal for living creatures. Adding to the mystery, however, are the bladelings of Chernoggar who have spoken this tongue as their own for thousands of years. The xenophobic race has little to say on the subject but the theory that they grew out of some armory of magical blades in millenia past is not one of the crazier ideas among the planes.
