Gengo Furui

Gengo Furui translates as "the Ancient Language". It is the language once used by one of the lost races of Loar. Now only monks speak and write it. Most use it when expressing their chay (see below) or when deliberating with other monks about sensitive topics in the hearing of others. The written form is called 'sujimichi'.

Words - Definitions
akanbe – a juvenile facial gesture where a person pulls down their lower eyelid to reveal the red underneath; usually accompanied by sticking out the tongue

ba – place, energy field

chay - (pronounced kī): metaphysical energy and will of all sentient beings. Monks of Loar have discovered a way to channel chay into their martial arts and basic senses to do extraordinary things including empathy and limited telepathy. Masters of the various orders have been known to deflect, reflect or even absorb magical energy from spellcasters using chay. Dervishes are the most skilled at this particular use.
