I did some research on the ancient language and found out its roots in our world  the ancient language is loosely based out of a combination of three ancient languages and those would be Old Norse, Celtic, and some Welsh. Hope this helps making sword names and dragon names |

Thanks! Wish I could use some Latin though... Who's willing to use Latin for new words! |

I just stumbled upon something REALLY cool. While looking for a celtic name for a character, I was down in the "E" section when I found "Elva". Sound familiar anyone? I just thought this was REALLY cool!

Interesting! I recently found out that the norse word for wolf is warg or varg. In Tolkien's LotR series, there's a creature called a warg. Tolkien himself was a linguist so it's very possible that he just chose that word and slapped it on there.
