    Summary

    The year is 2:17 Glory. Chantry forces march on the Dales in a bloody war that seems to be drawing quickly towards its inevitable end.

    In the wake of a disastrous battle, an Emerald Knight casts a spell that will change history. Solas, the Dread Wolf, may be her last hope to save her country and people from destruction, if she can only convince him that the world he has woken to is worth saving.

    Bound to the will of an ancient trickster god and entangled in the shadowy politics of the Lords, who would as soon stab each other in the back as they would fight their invaders, she will quickly learn that the cost of freedom will be paid for in blood. And as the people kneel to her as their divine saviour, power may cost her everything—even as its allure beckons as enthrallingly as the attentions of Fen’Harel himself.

    Holy war has been declared, and gods demand sacrifice. When no easy choices remain, Lavellan must decide how far she is willing to go for the love of her people… if the Dread Wolf doesn’t decide for her first.

    Summary

    Din’an, she says, is the word for people like her.

    Enal, she says, is the word for people like him.

    Alhasha’melana, is the name she gives for this period she must endure, which is as inelegant as it is enticing.

    Wild season.


    The fall of Elvhenan and the rise of the Veil prompted a very particular evolutionary trait within Elvhen descendents to ensure the People's survival.

    Solas does not know this.

    Solas should probably know this.

    Summary

    This is a collection of essays because many of my friends have found elements of this work more useful and complete in its original "special interest infodump" stage than Project Elvhen, so I thought it might be helpful to non-linguist fans who might also be left scratching their heads about some of FenXShiral's work. In the manner of many academics, I have both borrowed from and expanded upon the original. As a note, as I work on this, some of the individual words in the translations may change. That's not because I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm also learning and solidifying more as I write the guide, and I'm going to be tweaking it until I'm satisfied, but I want to share what I do have with you!

    I have been fiddling with this labor of love for years. It's my ultimate goal to make this a speakable language, pushed beyond the cipher, with words that are useful to your average speaker trying to learn it. I apply a radically kind perspective on the Dalish throughout the work, not tainted by the Chantry's perspective of this ancient and beautiful culture.

    Ready to learn to really speak Elvhen this time? Let's do this.

    Update Nov 2, 2025: Now will be a part of a series! Stay tuned...

    Summary

    I broke down El'vhen into component parts and replaced the elided apostrophes. This is still fan fic, because despite having a linguistics minor, I could be very wrong. But if I'm not too far off, it should give us the tools to make new words.

    It's mostly all translated from canon sources (Katiebour's Cypher) and the wiki.

    It really shouldn't need to be said.

    I am violently against AI. Do NOT put ANY of my work into ANY AI system, including Deep-L. I'm happy to provide phrases and translations if you ask.

    I can't do anything about scrapers. But willfully putting my weeks of work on this project into any variety of AI is absolutely offensive.

    I'll take all my fics and the dictionary down if I find out about it.

    AI is *awful*. Putting someone else’s work into one is not only copyright violation, it means you should take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what the actual fuck are you doing?
