Aeno Michaelidh, a mystic and comparative linguist; the first conlanger in the Irtan Western world
- Influenced by her missionary work in Southeast Asia
- Writes groundbreaking works in historical linguistics (equivalent to our timeline's William Jones) and proposes Proto-Indo-Uralic
- Unlike William Jones, Michaelidh is not surprised by Sanskrit's relation to Latin and Greek; she expects it (particularly the Latin and Greek connection) and travels to Southeast Asia partly to verify her belief in a common ancestor for all human languages
- Latinizes her name, originally of Medh Chêl origin, to Aenō, Aenōnis
- Developed a multilevel conworld with resemblances to Dante
- Rõktiap is the language of "heaven" in that world; its grammar is based on Michaelidh's idea of what the first human language was like (though the actual details were not a reconstruction); unlike Earthly languages Rõktiap doesn't evolve into descendants all that much (Sõiptram is an exception)
- LOTR-style presentation of Earth languages in translation
- Work was co-opted and tweaked/reinterpreted by Remonitionists
