Malendor terms from tyrants

(from today onwards, this blog is where I post irrelevant or troublesome lore from my worlds, perhaps as a form of catharsis after reacting to the horrible things in the news and online. Mobile Wikia is too glitchy, and my own Rabydosverse Wikia needs more relevant articles for my stories. So this one is a storage bay for irrelevant info)

In 2021, I learned that the Mughals were a tyrannical dynasty in India. They may had made splendid and lavish art, but they were also infamous for their attempts to destroy the Hindu faith and torture anyone who was a nonbeliever.

So in the spirit of honouring India and over the controversy about "The Empire" (a TV series on Netflix) and the Delhi Sultanate at Age of Empires IV, I've decided to use the names of tyrants in Indian history for my conlang, Novantirna.

Novantirna is a fictional language I made for an alien race, the Gedravas, a blue humanoid race that lays eggs and has four genders. They are the rulers of the Malendor Supercorporation, one of several empires that warred across the Galaxy. They rule the eastern sections of the Galaxy.

So, without further ado, let the conlanging begin:
