Archaic Eldoraín

First written some three thousand years ago, the archaic version of Eldoraín is surprisingly similar to that of the present-day version, having had very little influence from outside languages. The melodic and spiritual sense of the spoken language is contrasted by its sharp and angular script which was likely a result of the text being carved into sheets of hardened bark used in writing their history.
