- These are some sketches based on the premises stated in the description of commission N°271 in the LCS's Jobs Board. This should probably furthermore be seen primarily as a sketching exercise, since I'm not very likely to be able to meet the stated deadline.
| Premises as stated in the job description: |
|---|
| - Sketch A
"Vaguely Chinese/Far-Eastern — heavily organized, large (far-away) capital city, dominant regional culture, militarily powerful. The story is placed in the inland western rural border area. (We may never see the capital)." |
| - Sketch B
"Vaguely Arabic — lightly nomadic (with some small settlements), horse-based, individualistic warriors, non-dominant regionally (minority culture), allied to (A)." |
| - Sketch C
"Vaguely Afghan — mountain primitives and coastal dwellers (depending) — we only meet the mountain primitives — with a territory-raiding and cross-breeding relationship to (A)." |
| - Sketch D
"Vaguely northern European — on the edge of Himalayan-style mountains, snow, academic institutions, trade." |
| An Anglophone audience should hear enough echo in the manifestations of the conlang that the real-world culture analogue suggests itself |
