About Beddelshaedhem
Many years ago, I created deep within my heart a little island in the great big sea. I populated the island with fairies and unicorns and simple folk. And in time, I knew the simple folk could not speak a mere human language. They needed a tongue that sounded like their world. So slowly, over years and years, I developed the manner in which the simple folk would speak.
The island is in many ways an analogue of early medieval England, aside from the fairies and the unicorns. Yet there is also no money, villages govern by consensus, and the weeks are regulated by a balance of work and play. The people’s lives are simple but their loves are rich, with a full recognition of nonbinary individuals and polyamory as the most common relational structure. They love art and music and literature; they have never known war or murder.
