Overview

Founderspeak or Truespeech (Commonspeak), also Am (Founderspeak \ɑm\ for edict), is named for its association with the Founders who created it. It is inspired by real world Hebrew.

History

Founderspeak originated with the Founders who arrived in the universe at the beginning of the First Age. It has persisted through history as the language of Servitors.

Cosmology

Founderspeak is a magical language of The Integrum in that when spoken, written, or gestured, it can be understood by any creature born of The Integrum. Similarly, a creature that knows Founderspeak can inherently understand any spoken, written, or gestured language of The Integrum.
