(WIP)

Naming and Slang

THe yurts the gulakhans live in are called “gulakyurts”, so the tents the ashkhan lives in may be called “ashkyurts” (the k intentionally added, as “ashyurt” just looks funny).

The sulfur pits in the Ashlands are commonly known as “steampits”.

The term “Velothi” as it applies to Ashlanders is of uncertain usage. The Ashlanders prefer to call themselves Velothi, but Velothi is the term given to all mer who followed Saint Veloth on his exodus, and can equally mean ancient pre-Tribunal Dunmer, Houseless among the modern House Dunmer, or as a general name for all Dunmer.

Ashlander Camp Placements
One in/near the Armun Ashlands
One in/near the Grey Meadows (Ash Swamp), which the Indoril declined to settle.
Ashlanders live in both these regions because no one else in their right mind would!

Ashlanders will probably not be in Deshaan (where they would compete with the nomadic Dres clans) or in Argon (which is not very inhabitable for anyone.)

Some development since:

  1. We have names for all the Ashlander Camps now.
  2. ESO happened! There is some stuff in there regarding Ashlanders, but I’m not up to snuff on distinguishing the good from the bad (making the Mabrigash, a social class, into a tribe name and turning the Spirit Snake into an actual giant ghost snake, that’s the bad I remember).
  3. The Dres have been narrowed down to be one of the evolutions that the Chimeri clans underwent post-Nerevar (the Ashlanders and the other houses are others). Under no circumstances should the Ashlanders be understood as the “pure” inheritors of the Chimer. They are reactionary in their own way.

you’re right. „ashyurt” sounds like „yoghurt”.  btw, a small language excursion for the interested wink: ashk-yurt does not have an extra k, it is in fact the only correct form since gulakh is shortened for gulakhan, as ashk is for ashkhan (meaning approximately „clan tent” in the composition with „yurt”).  Except if you mean „khan’s yurt” as in „leader’s tent”, of course.

Ashlanders: didn’t they form into their current style of tribal life after they were banned by the Tribunal as heretics and liars?  I believe I have read something along these lines somewhere…

The more I venture into the realms of wisdom, the more I realize that all wisdom is nothing but illusionary and theoretical.
So, in order to go completely illiterate and bogus, I need to know more about everything.
