This thread will more or less just be here for my own "entertainment's" sake - meaning I don't wanna be told off for double or triple posting if no one comments on what I put up here. I'm only saying this, because I know threads with stories and such tends to be forgotten. I would love comments on what I post.
Alright then.
I have two languages I'm developing for my worlds/species. I haven't worked on them for a very long time, but now I feel like getting back to it. So I'll be posting incomprehensible text here. Sometimes with a translation, mayhaps I'll even post the dictionaries in the progress... AND THERE WILL BE TONS OF SPELLING ERRORS BECAUSE AG HATES SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN WRITING. And there shall be pictures, for I have alphabets for my creations.
To begin with - a poem with a structure strongly based on one about Aragorn in 'The Lord of the Rings'. I really liked the structure of that poem, and found it fitting, so changed a bunch of things and came out with a 'ost doomsday' prophecy from Hrowan (one of my worlds).

Enjoy the gibberish here, and the gibberish to come.
You as in the creator of Yaltama or a character borne from the world Yaltama?
As the artist portraying the world I can scroll from the truth behind their creation myths to their very doom and map out what happens in between.
And did it? Also if it did, is this the sort of thing that tends to repeat?
Not giving spoilers, even if there is no grand story to spoil. :P The world does end, and there is something beyond the end, but how a prophecy forgotten in the last times of their world applies, is a good question. In older times the song was used on dark occasions, be it of war or plagues, as a song of hope, a way to keep the spirits up despite the bad things happening. All will end, but there will still be more.
I imagine then that they must have been fairly religious to accept this belief. Are there gods to this world? Do they take an active position in how things are run?
Noting down for self: "jaata'___" barely ___ (Jaata'lain = barely alive)
Rarw.
And questions that I apparently didn't notice when they were asked:
Are there gods to this world?
There are.
Do they take an active position in how things are run?
Not really. The Ama helps her critters out with little things, but aside from that it's more of a "keeping the world going" sort of thing. Without really caring about what the inhabitants do to each other.
The death god does have a few interferences up his sleeve, though. Sending shadows into the world occasionally.
