Steel Realms
Maximum Level of Learning is ‘Mastery‘.

Pronounced “or-lek-aan“; Orlecan of the Steel Realms is one of the obscure languages of the Steel Realms.

It has no written form, and is passed down through a strict oral tradition using strong phonetic recordings, in other written languages of the Steel Realms for teaching. It is not taught to those outside the clergy of the Church of Light or the community and idol/icon roles for priests. Creatures of darkness – the void and the Outer Darkness, cannot speak it – their mouths become tortured and broken in attempting to do so. The language of Orlecan was originally taught directly by the Lightbringer gods to their followers on the Godsrage Plain.

Language of the Lightbringers: Orlecan is the native language of the divine Lightbringers taught exclusively to their followers in the Church of Light. Part of the culture of the clergy and followers of the unified pantheon of Lightbringers of the steel Realms is the use of this language as a status and cultural symbol. Those who can speak it and are fluent in it generally speak it to each other as a form of secure communication. It is considered poor manners to speak it in the presence of nobles of the realms who cannot understand it, but there is no such feelings when dealing with commoners.
