Norma Arm: Pithar Six

 

Pithar Six is located at the outer edge of the Norma Arm. Before the Supernova carved a radiated dead zone from the central systems several thousand light years across, Pithar was simply a new water mining colony that would have supplied the thirsty inner systems. But it was costly, and without a market to supply the value of water plunged making it too expensive to mine on Pithar Six for anything other than Domestic supply. Glaciers a kilometre thick hide beneath the desert world in the polar regions. And abandoned Wells dot the planet abandoned by the high value corporate citizens and noble elites who fled toward the inner systems in search of personal gain. The low value populace who were abandoned pick over the vast orbital dumped garbage heaps and water Wells to survive.

Pithar Six is a fight for survival.

 The Empire controlled the Galactic Habitable Zone (a region of the Norma Arm encompassing two million stars and twenty million worlds) but that is jus one side of the Empire. The other side of the Galactic centre is beyond the reach of anything other than the generational colonization vessels that departed to colonize that space as part of the Empire centuries before the Supernova destroyed the Central Systems and Imperial Throne-World.

Linguistic Archaeology: a look at Orcish

 

After finding that Old Dwarvish in Dragon #66 was a lot more related to Sumerian than expected, the Old Dwarvish word R-U-K (Enemy) is a development chain dialect of the S-U-M in Sumerian, One might conclude the Author lifted a real language for Old Dwarvish. So lets take a look at his other article in which he fleshes out an Orcish language.

Conclusion: this particular Orcish language is from the A-D linguistic subgroup:

A-D subgroup                                  %            Dev. Chain
Orville Moclans                               74%       (A; D; O; K; S; L; R)
Orcish Dictionary (Dragon #75)    60%      (A; D; O, E, R)              Cold                                                   53%       (A; D; N; O)


They seem to militarize at 20%, There is a big gap from 19%-2% where it seems the creator of the conlang removed some of the language if it comes from an actual language. It peaks culturally at 19% before crashing down through 2% to <1%.

The Mountain Dwarves of Sa-Marin
They belong to the U linguistic group which is in all its uniqueness, the same linguistic group the Sumerian dictionary belongs to. So no need for Norse Dwarves in your Roleplay game. These ones can be Sumerians. They likely scribe their writings on clay tablets and get around bare chested with white kilts. But the development trends will determine actual history.

For comparison here we have the Sumerians. They have a nice clean dev. Chain for the first five letters just like the Dwarves so we can now take the Sumerian dictionary and padd out the Dwarven language as a Dialect Variation.

EARLY HISTORY OF THE RNRUKN
63% They dominate the U-A linguistic group; They discover water.

38% The female Rnrukn using horses overthrow male rule. The male Dwarves (the Kaz) depart using the A-RU [Water-Vertical] Well to exit. Those that remain dismantle the water-vertical timbers and sprinkle the wood of the A-RU about and head for the Urn.

29% They are now a Matriarchy ruled by Ukkuk (the Mother) They begin to experience a daily water shortage is experienced.  Urkn (he who shows the way) reveals where Dwarf males and water can be found. (This betrayal remains unknown to the Aru). The Horse-Women come into conflict with the Kaz over Water.

A-RU
A-RU is a strange yellow timber artefact of an ancient age made of interlocking yellow timber sections which artistically resemble a Sun. It allows travellers to pass through a whirlpool-like Gateway (wormhole) when activated.


So the Dwarves fled and build a Fortress in an Oak forest in the Land of Buk... and if you dont know what a neolithic fortress of oak looks like, it will probably look like the Humbleton Hill site in Britain which thanks to archaeological excavations consists of a fortress and funeral site built from ten thousand oak timbers.
