A lot of thought and time has gone into creating Suen Ikna: The Known Lands, with the author, Tariq Saad creating a fully constructed unique language for the Known Lands, called Suiknan. The language consists of 45 letter alphabet, with some punctuation marks. An audio file is also supplied to help pronounce each letter. He has also developed the world setting, with four continents, and nearby islands, making up The Known Lands, with information on the 38 nations that exist.
The punctuation marks are aligned on a square like grid when writing, so that there are five possible positions: center, upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. Text in s̀uiknan is written/read left to right, just like in English. So far, the language consists of over 5,400 words with approximately 2,900 nouns, 1,300 verbs, 860 adjectives, 225 adverbs, and 225 other words [Pronouns, determiners, etc.].
I have also fully designed the grammar of the language such that it is possible to convey complex concepts and abstract ideas, as I demonstrated in the video. Below is a chart that details the name of each letter in s̀uiknan, the letter itself, as well as how to write the letter; it is important to follow the order of strokes that I have shown below as it keeps all the letters looking consistent and easy to read.
Inhabiting this world are the four playable races in The Known Lands: the Arikt́, the Hasma, the Maś, and the Okînfêd. These 4 races are further split into 17 distinct ethnic groups, all of which, for the sake of brevity, are detailed in the book outline provided on the Kickstarter page.
Suen Ikna: The Known Lands Tabletop Role Playing Game by Tariq Saad is live on Kickstarter until Wednesday 28th March 2018.
