i wanted to make one of these.
Destiny has an interesting potential for languages. Most scifi so far into the future it's assumed that a lot of languages have died out, but d2 is out here dragging back native speakers of dead languages from the grave. And languages that're fading out now would have the chance to resurface. And I just love that sm.
I've read they're like? Granted whatever the in-universe modern language is by their Ghosts so they can communicate? I want to believe they keep their original first language anyway. Idk about lore for that but idgaf.
New lights finding someone that speaks their mother tongue for the first time and freaking out. Proceeding to be dragged by the arm off to meet the other people who do. I don't really want to imagine the Last City having sections where any language (other than whatever "modern" D2 language is) is more prevalent since irl that's usually the byproduct of racism/xenophobia. I just want it to be like- history & ancestry may be lost to time but here's this thing we share. Some fragment that's left. I can understand you, and isn't that beautiful? Aarghhh
I'm kinda bullshitting here but it's still food for thought.
hi :3 i have lots of thoughts about her <3 most of these were done with the intention of figuring out what she looks like for a fic though, so they are unfinished!
i really like the idea of nirwen being a red head / of irish descent and also a solar warlock, so that's what most of these are:
to add on with a bit of text, i really enjoy the idea of her being one of the ones to help a lot of risen in the iron lords reconcile with the fact they are risen/undead. in the context of both her and felwinter being teachers of osiris, i tend to see it as felwinter teaches osiris how to fight while nirwen focuses on the finer details and philosophy behind the light. i also like the idea of her appearing a lot younger than she actually is to go with that throwaway line about immortality!
there are a lot of minor only-mentioned in-lore-entry characters in destiny and especially ones related to the iron lords but i would kill to know more about nirwen. “nirwen knew true immortality. her teachings live beyond her.” is such an intriguing thing to say about a character. did she invent something like a spell or a technique that warlocks since have adopted? is it literal in that her actual student has outlived her? has only one of her students done so or did her work go beyond the iron lords and therefore their fall? is it her words codified somewhere that immortalises her? did her being an iron wolf give her ideas more or less merit amongst her peers? lord timur doesn’t speak of her fondly. did she ever squabble with the iron lords over how their students should be taught? many possibilities. i want to know about nirwen. there’s one page of one book that mentions her. there are 5 items that mention her in their description text. in the beautiful world i imagine there can be 6
