Migdal Bavel (מגדל בבל)

The Migdal Bavel is the גדל domain.

The Migdal Bavel (מגדל בבל) is believed to be the unfinished remains of the original Tower of Babel ziggurat, standing around 8,150 feet tall. It is currently located just outside the boundaries of ‘Aravot’s Medinat Alef.

While the tyrannical Bavel Macrostructure is building an even larger tower (the Superstructure), it still uses the Migdal as a base and a broadcast tower to transmit brainwashing propaganda throughout Avgad. The Holy Tongue Society also believes that Bavel seeks to use such towers conquer the heavens.

The Migdal is a stronghold domain powered by the גדל shoresh root and family.

Kiläyim

The Kiläyim will kill you for food!

The Kiläyim is an abomination hybrid kind that was created by the taboo combination of flax and woolly sheep DNA. The Bavel Macrostructure bred these ravenous beasts to manufacture lightning-resistant (and cursed) fabric, but the ‘Ivrit Revival Movement ended up capturing the creatures. Currently the Kiläyim are imprisoned in Kelë Prison, where angels guard and restrain them to keep them from devouring all in their path.

The Kiläyim comes from the אכל shoresh family, which deals with gluttony, lightning arresters, hybrids, forbidden pairings, prisons, sheep pens, angels and restraints.

Fire Flagon

The Fire Flagon hurls glass, fuel and fire at foes.

The Fire Flagon is a simple but effective urban combat weapon that hurls glass, fuel and fire at foes. It’s a fancier version of a Molotov with a rag that, after carrying and shaking, triggers the Consolidated Flames speech act. Giant versions are used as incendiary bombs.

The Fire Flagon is produced by the אשש shoresh family, which governs glass bottles, flagons, fire, consolidation, carrying and shaking.

NKL-4Q87 Acrocephalus

The Acrocephalus is a tricky aircraft!

Pilots of the NKL-4Q87 Acrocephalus keep their heads held high while fighting low! Based off the body of a warbler, this aircraft is capable of cunning dogfighting tricks, thanks to its conical aerodynamics.

During the Descriptivist-Prescriptivist War, the Descriptivists heavily modified this aircraft with shoresh root technology. They grafted the אשש root to give it the ability to bomb ships with incendiary bombs, and they grafted the אתר root to let the jet generate ether cloud clones. But the Prescriptivists accused the Descriptivists of using this jet for war crimes and villainy.

The NKL-4Q87 Acrocephalus is mainly based on the כלן shoresh family, which deals with warblers, cones, cunning, tricks and villainy.

Prescriptivist

The Prescriptivists are the arbiter of norms in Avgad.

The Prescriptivists were the separatists in the Descriptivist-Prescriptivist War around a generation prior to the Milhamah War.

When the Descriptivists violated the norms surrounding shoresh root research, the Prescripts decreed it that it crossed a line. So they formed into separate nations, withdrew the welcome mat, and locked the gates behind them.

The Prescripts exploited their their positions of industrial power, and their merchant ships changed course, embargoing water, energy, food, medicine and other supplies from the Descripts. This interrupted the Descripts’ research and threatened their society’s future, sparking a war.

While the Descripts control ether, the Prescripts’ speech acts control electric energy, discharging bolts of divine wrath to stop the Descriptivists’ controversial research.

The Prescripts  judge their success by abundant supplies and power. They are punctual, determined, frugal and sufficient. Despite their dour appearance, they actually are content with their abundant lifestyle.

Dressed in their rouge coats, prescripts also see themselves as the moral guardians of Avgad. Most carry a Punctuation Bible on their backs (pristine but crawling with booklice). And they are willing to judge skeptics and punish doubt, including in their own ranks.

To prove their devotion to justice, the most ardent cut off their left hands and attach a gavel on the resulting stump. This means they can no longer clap, though one hand is enough to give a vicious knockout slap to any fools in their way.

 The Prescriptivists began to lose battles when they started accusing each other of false charges. They’re based on the פסק shoresh root and family, governing normativity, supplies, determination, sufficiency, contentment, judgment and a lot of other things mentioned above.
