Lexicons

The concept-to-root map, morpheme pools, universe profiles and vibe profiles are hand-authored by Bryntechnologi, drawing on general knowledge of Latin, Greek, world mythology and genre conventions. Real mythologies are used by name; fictional settings are referenced only through original, de-branded profiles.
