Tilder

Tilder is a language that has some speakers in the Free Realms. This almost dead language was used by some native nomads and other communities in the Free Realms before the land saw a massive influx of foreign people and cultures.

Its name is derived from the namesake of the old Great Tilder Plains that once spanned to the whole south of the landmass. The Great Tilder Plains have since greatly declined by natural disasters and the growth of forests. Its remains are now divided into simply the Tilder Plain and the Tilder Badlands.

The language is mostly used by old humans that used to speak it in their youth when it was still used as one of the main languages in the Free Realms. Some cities in the Realms use it still but it is considered non-compulsory in all of them, and since the cities mostly use Common and other more widespread languages Tilder is dying out.

It has gotten to the point where if you want to tell someone a secret and don’t want others to find out easily your best bet is to speak Tilder if the other person also speaks it. For that reason some thieves in the Realms have incorporated Tilder in their Thieves Cant. The very few speakers of the language take offense to that of course and they try to make the language more mainstream; an attempt that is mostly futile.
