Setting Collection 2: Q&A

Q. What kind of sound is an unpronounceable sound?

Unpronounceable sounds are pronunciations from the linguistic systems developed in the Magic Civilization. There are twelve in all.

Many different races live in the Magic Civilization: the White Ridge people of the Blue Witch, the forestfolk of Iruma, and many others. Some races' unique systems of magic include unique pronunciations, and some of those pronunciations are unpronounceable sounds.

Similar pronunciations unique to particular ethnic groups exist in the real world, too. Try Googling "Zulu click sounds," and you'll probably find something.

Q. What's an indirect incantation?

An incantation replaced with different words while retaining its original meaning.

Even for the same sentence, a translator may choose different words. A paraphrase, basically.

The purpose of the Nameless Epic is to sing of Talquea's life, so even if the word choices differ somewhat, as long as the meaning is consistent, it follows the intent and the magic activates.

Q. Is the Magic World's vampire slot also inhabited by such a whimsical old man?

No...
