About Aalvunian Luwkeean
Aalvunian Lukweean is a language spoken by the Clan Lukwee, a people of the north regions of Mutlaviin. The original language, called Old Lukweean, was spoken for thousands of years. It supposedly came to be when the first man, Torrrr'aan, tried to make sense of the wolf and horse languages.
Aalvunian Lukweean started to appear much later. The High Elder of the Lukwee, Aalvun The Mountain, came up with a script to write the language when he spent six years studying at the Borrrriighkiin Halls and Towers, accompanied by the Clan Fan's High Elder, Faalveet. Once Aalvun came back into Lukwee territory the script spread far and fast, and even in 50 years the language changed drastically from its original self.
