However, when the Moshurians invaded and pillaged Ilda, the majority of the members of ''Ildasia''
were suspected as potential rebels against the Moshurian regime, and were thus given the choice of being imprisoned or going into exile. Almost all of Ildasia's documentation, including the original copy of the ''Ildaska Mondenikās'' was burned. Zeror, with his knowledge of Moshurian, was able to avoid persecution, and ended up settling in Taráhus, where he secretly rewrote the ''Ildaska Mondenikās'' in both Ilda and Moshurian.

====Romanisation====
The Ilda romanisation is mostly directly phonetic, although some digraphs, like ⟨sw⟩ and ⟨zw⟩ are pronounced <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Voiceless post-alveolar fricative|ʃ]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Voiced post-alveolar fricative|ʒ]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> respectively. Additionally, the symbol ⟨γ⟩ is pronounced <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Voiced velar fricative|ɣ]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, and the digraphs ⟨pt⟩ and ⟨bd⟩ are pronounced [ʔt] and [ʔd].

Almost all nouns in Ilda end in the suffix ''-as'' or ''-ās''. This feature comes from [[Proto-Yeldhic]], which used the suffix ''*-ḗs''<ref>Derived from Etzeá ''-oéẕ''.</ref> to denote nouns in the [[w:Genitive case|genitive case]], although some linguists believe that the genitive suffix was ''*-sḡa''<ref>Derived from Burodi ''-skœ''.</ref>, and that instead the Ilda suffix was derived from the Proto-Yeldhic [[w:Accusative case|accusative]] suffix, ''*-Vḵs''.
