Neocian

Neocian is a constructed language inspired by Enochian but with its own unique twists. Designed to sound mystical and ancient, Neocian provides a rich linguistic texture for the demonic entities featured in the Whispers Decology and the overarching 'Hora Lucerna' setting.

Alphabet

Neocian features a distinct alphabet with characters reminiscent of Enochian but altered to create a fresh visual and auditory experience. The alphabet consists of 21 letters, each with a unique shape and sound.

Creating New Words

To create new words, take inspiration from Enochian words and phonetically reversing or rearranging their letters. Here are a few examples:

• Enochian: AGLA (meaning "thou art mighty")
  • Neocian: Âlġa (could mean "mighty thou")
• Enochian: LUCIFER (a famous demonic name)
  • Neocian: Rëfïcúl (could mean "bringer of light" in a twisted sense)

Example Paragraphs

• Neocian: "Ɣ nö, ŧô śänt Ïła, Ÿ ŧäkę dā ḿärķŝ ðą Hëł. Ðärkņëśŝ, śüffërïńġ, åńd eťërńäł ṗäïń, Ǫuėńś śðérë tįmä. Îń ḿy dōmāįń, ŧhē sôūļŝ õf the wîķęd ârę tôrɱęńţęd wîţħõût ëńd.

  • English: "You see, saint of light, I speak of the marks of Hell. Darkness, suffering, and eternal pain reign in that realm. In my domain, the souls of the wicked are tormented without end. Each cry echoes through Earth and warps the very stones. Your god’s light has no power here, priest. Only hate, darkness, and the yawning void."
• Neocian: "Ɣ ńëłë ïń Ń Ðärk ðôńjøń, Ẁōl mönëńtś fôŗ śüffërïńġ, Ǫuėńś Śùna dröpë łïkë blöøð fröm Ëėŗĥ. ẞùddëńłÿ, Îń Ŧë ŧôrñāðõ õf fîrë, Ÿ śäŵ Ṁör åńd Kēł ēmērġë fröm Ƒëra. Łįğħt ŵåş ńø mëre şhïëłd; Ïła wãš swãłłøŵëð. Ťhë ťäsk, Ṗû Ķūm, ŵâś ŝïmpłë: ŧõ ďěśtrõÿ āłł hûmāńïťý, bŗïńġïńg ŧhė ëńð ëvërňär."
  • English: "He knelt in a dark dungeon, moments for suffering, while water dropped like blood from the earth. Suddenly, in the tornado of fire, he saw the moon and death emerge from the flames. Light was no mere shield; it was swallowed. The task, to come, was simple: to destroy all humanity, bringing the end forevermore."
