    You’re using a relatively recent understanding of a recently dead language. You aren’t factoring in the 28k years of evolution, data loss, and rediscovery. Followed by another 10k years of relative dark age and deification.

    To further simplify, to question is heresy.

      This is important to the setting too! They literally lost the story. Changed the tune. Everything is made up due to the passage of time, and loss of history.

        In-Universe, correct Latin would be absolutely less believeable than what they have, that’s for sure. Why would the language have stayed the same? If only I could overlook the names… I mean… perhaps when I try to read/listen to the stories in German… English struggles with Latin at the best of times… Whenever I adressed someone in my previous post, I was adressing Games Workshop, not some figure in-universe.
