Lore:Bretic

< Lore: Linguistics

Bretic is the language of the Bretons. The Sephavre (the song traditionally sung during the observance of Broken Diamonds) is written in Old Bretic, and each generation only knows it because they were taught by their parents. Before High Rock's integration into the Alessian Empire circa 1E 1029, some Breton nobility were known to write in Aldmeris as a sign of their pride for their Elvish heritage. Despite the many divides among Breton clans their language, bardic traditions, and heroic legends are a unifying common legacy.

Druids speak in their own language. Occasional Druidic words have made their way into the local language of the Bretons from the Systres Archipelago. Druidic runes are referred to as draoifoglyphs.
