When, on the morning of the awakening, the seven deities awoke, there were only the barren plains of the earth. Yet, the deities were able to see visions of what the earth could become, using the divine power the Ether had bestowed on them. The deities were able to share their visions with each other using the Ether as a medium, and started to fill the plains with mountain ranges, oceans, lakes, grasslands and forests, and the creatures that dwelled within them. It was Psikar, God of the Spirit, who felt as if the Ether spoke to him, every time he used his power to bespirit the lands and creatures the deities created. It were these whisperings, coming from afar, that compelled him to name the things he would bespirit.

Psikar created seventeen symbols to form words, and rules for how to construct meaningful sentences from these words. Using his language, he started to document the work he and the other deities did, bringing their vision of the earth to life. At first, the other deities thought of Psikar’s language as a pointless creation - after all, couldn't they just communicate their visions through the Ether? But as time passed, they began to see many uses for it, both practical for documenting deeds and events and keeping ledgers between them, and artistic for writing songs and poems.

Psikar created the following alphabet, containing seventeen symbols for the following sounds: 'kmoyntusrilqevgad'.

kmoyntusrilqevgad

The symbols in this alphabet correspond to the following sounds:

k - k ('k' as in king)

m - m ('m' as in morning)

o - o ('o' as in omen)

y - y ('y' as in year)

n - n ('n' as in never)

t - t ('t' as in time)

u - u ('o' as in do)

s - s ('s' as in self)

r - r ('r' as in rain)

i - i ('e' as in evening)

l - l ('l' as in leader)

q - q ('q' as in quality)

e - e ('e' as in estimate)

v - v ('v' as in vacation)

g - g ('g' as in gathering)

a - a ('a' as in ability)

d - d ('d' as in demon)

From these symbols, Psikar created words, following two simple general rules:

- Only one vowel can be used consecutively
- Only one, two or three non-vowels can be used consecutively

Over time, aided by the other deities, Psikar created an extensive word-list. This list contains individual words that belong to a ‘symbol pattern’ that groups words that have a similar function in grammar, being a noun or verb, as well as a ‘word family’, that groups words that have kinship through their meaning, like the verb ‘to fight’ and the noun ‘fighter’. In addition, he defined a way to designate time by creating different conjugations of nouns, like the present tense ‘I fight’, and the past tense ‘I fought’.

For example, these are the basic words - called ‘primitives’ - for different weapons, that have the same symbol pattern:

- indalva (sword)
- erlanva (spear)
- arnunva (axe)

That you can turn into verbs by adding ‘er’ to them, proceeded by the connection symbol ‘n’ in case the primitive ends in a vowel:

- indalvaner (to fight with a sword)
- erlanvaner (to fight with a spear)
- arnunvaner (to fight with a axe)

And these can be used in simple a sentence using the word ‘yiva’ which means ‘I’, and the noun conjugation ‘a’, proceeded by the connection symbol ‘n’ in case the primitive ends in a vowel:

- yiva indalvana (I fight with a sword)
- yiva erlanvana (I fight with a spear)
- yiva arnunvana (I fight with an axe)

Not long after creating the two human races, the mano and the inya, the deities decided it was necessary to teach them their divine language as part of their education. Psikar took on this task. Proud of his creation, he was a patient but demanding teacher to the early humans, expecting them to master the Language of the Gods to its finest nuances as a tribute to their creators. To Psikar’s joy, most humans took great pride in learning his language, and built many traditions around it, including passing on the language to their children. Even centuries later, calligraphers, scribes, poets and storytellers were highly regarded in most societies.

Here is an example of a short prayer in the Language of the Gods:

I pray to you, God of War
To give me the strength
To defeat my enemies
And bring glory to my family

yiva kurana re luva deya loyi'la
naliyer yiva ina vuyi
rayaner yivan erleyno'ni
naliyer reqi re yivan runlo

Which looks like this using the language’s native symbols:

yiva kurana re luva deya loyi'la
naliyer yiva ina vuyi
rayaner yivan erleyno'ni
naliyer reqi re yivan runlo

Below follows a short conversational example that shows the simple nature of the Language of the Gods:
