Moav Patriarch

Posted on January 2, 2022 by eczarnik

The Moav Patriarch loves to cavort.

Elite patriarchs lord over the Moav Fatherland, an impoverished region dominated by ambition, drunkenness, hatred, lust and desire. These patriarchs spend their lives swilling puncheon rum, gorging on Carnal Caperberries and cavorting. While few in number, they’re married to most of the land’s women. This arouses enmity from the nation’s poor men, but the patriarchs justify the practice by claiming it’s consensual. (No one ever asks the women in Moav.)

Regardless, these marital arrangements produce plenty of sons who serve in the Bavel Macrostructure’s Moav Division. That division dreams of glory and greatness, striving to be chief among the macrostructure’s military ranks.

The Moav Patriarch gets power from the אבי shoresh family, which governs fathers, patriarchy, caperberries, puncheons, lust, will, hatred, enemies, consent and the poor.

Kittim

Posted on December 26, 2021 by eczarnik

The Kittim are Bavel's marines.

The Kittim serve as the Bavel Macrostructure’s marines, and they grind down and crush all in their path. These troops come from Bavel’s upper classes and are indoctrinated in Avgad’s northwest quadrant. They arguably are the most zealous, brutal faction of Bavel’s military.

As a group, the Kittim share great camaraderie, excel at tactical formations and wield meat tenderizing war hammers. While they often cannibalize supplies and technology from conquered cities, their enemies accuse them of being literal cannibals too. The Kittim deny this, insisting that they thrive on a strict diet of olives and schnitzel.

Their shoresh is כתת, which governs crushing, classes, factionalism, cannibalism, pressing olives, schnitzel, meat tenderizers and the Kittim of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Bat Qol

Posted on December 17, 2021 by eczarnik

A Bat Qol uses a tuning fork.

A Bat Qol (Literally “daughter of a voice” in Hebrew) is a spirit-based kind that many Avgad residents believe is a heavenly voice brought to life.

Resembling a sound angel, Bat Qol spread prophecies and revelation, and they excel at music and oratory. Before the rise of Bavel’s censorship regime, they were prominent in the religious, cultural, media and entertainment spheres.

While some have since defected to Bavel to spread rumors and false reports, most are good spirits. They are famous for their strong emotions, such as shouting for joy or crying. As warriors, they wield tuning fork weapons and deafen enemies with thunderclaps.

The Bat Qol gets her power through the קול shoresh root, which governs sound, voices, tuning forks, noise, thunder, reports and rumors.

 

Guryon Magdir

Posted on November 30, 2021 by eczarnik

Guryon Magdir is the Holy Tongue Society's determiner.
Guryon Magdir is the determiner part of speech who helps oversee the Holy Tongue Society. He is officially the group’s second in command, and he loves his spot in the hierarchy — though he sometimes oversteps his authority too.

Magdir hails from the arid, fortressed land of Gederah. He is a builder and architect who hurls giant stones at enemies and builds walls to shield Ḥeleq’s Bayit base. His favorite military tactic is to dominate the opposing army by surrounding them and fencing them in.

His main weapon is the Erasing Knife, which disintegrates any unlucky foe who crosses the blade’s path. Yet he is so skilled with the weapon, he can safely shave with it.

While Magdir is very powerful and distinguished, he is not an easy man to work under. His restrained personality rarely reveals a smile, and he regularly flexes his conceited machismo to show both men and women who’s boss.

Magdir comes from the גדר shoresh root and family, which governs fences, walls, hierarchy, erasing knives, distinguishing, haughtiness, gender, shaved hair and more.

 

 

Descriptivist

The Descriptivist experiments with ether.Descriptivist B&W

The Descriptivists vanished into the ether… but who were they?

Descriptivists belonged to an elite political movement in Avgad, a generation prior to the Bavel era. They prized aesthetics and strived to be farsighted, enlightened Renaissance men. Many graduated with weighty degrees.

Famous ones were explorers, diplomats, spies, artists, musicians and scientists. In martial arts, they excelled at scouting and hunting. They paid lip service to representative government but truly believed in technocracy.

Upon the discovery of the long-buried shoresh roots, the Descriptivists demanded to conduct experiments on them using all available technology — including methods from diverse locales. They first used Yeṿanit technology on the אתר shoresh root. And after many studies and reports, they successfully extracted ether and formed it into various shapes and figures.

But this sparked outrage from the Prescriptivists, who believed that foreign technology would pollute the shoresh roots and curse Avgad with chaos. Eventually, this dispute led to the Descriptivist-Prescriptivist War, a calamity which most people today dread describing.

The Descriptivists are derived from the אתר shoresh root and family, which deal with reports, artistic figures, illustrations, appearances, quality, locations, descriptions, embellishments, diplomatic titles, academic degrees, representation and (via Greek) ether.
