About Yonqa
This is the language of the Yonqa, one of the Five Great Civilisations of Atlan that rules over what is left of the ancient kingdom of Suymara. After having immured their own mother-godess Amaltaya, master of wind and beauty, they are now in rapid decay, and the new religion of the Moon promoted by their self-proclaimed Republic will not prevent them from disapearing to the land, unless they return to their old roots.
