Mock Latin
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 12:39 pm
Hi,
I have used in my campaign a text in mock-Latin to give the right feeling for old and forbidden things. To do it, I have made an Excel spreadsheet that generates the text in almost convenient form, as long as you put in the base forms for each word you want to use and a few bits about the grammar function of the word in the text. It saves a lot of work (although it still gives some).
As for the results, below is the text I used in the campaign. I don't speak Latin so I don't know how good this is (if I spoke Latin, I wouldn't have done this in the first place).
I would be grateful if you could comment on this.
Also, if anyone is interested in using it, write to me and I will send the sheet to you with some instructions on how to use it.

Explorator secreto oculte, tu quid trovavisti istem liberem sape quod tempos nigres adproximant. Andral sedet grande et dirigevit me in constructii Symboli Sacratis Ravenitae sed multu in istem mundum habo videtus et ora sto certus que causas habet quod fugent explicatii divine.
Non devies iam oculi tui. Audi me ad fini sine me proquod istus sacrilegio negare.
Ipsu proquod istem liberem abscondevi et si illo indagavisti, si illo trovavisti, tu tam bene habere sentitus istum iam debes: ill exsistet alteres magiam, impuram, mundanam, periculosam sed exsistens.
Adsevero tibi quod illa non sedet plus potente quo illam divinam sed sedet diversa et de naturae quod dei non cognoscent et non incalciant; pagan sedet, sed exsistet et quale receptaculis spirituaris deorum quod mundum gubernant, sedet nostram obligatio cognoscere illam.
Tu, patre quod leges istem liberem hic discooperiras differentis fundamentalis inter duos mundis et quomodo initiare studium istus regno prohibite.
