Dragonkin language

The dragonkin have a language, of which little is known, as they speak in the common tongue most of the time. The only non-dragonkin known to understand some of the language are the Player character, Laniakea, the Kethsians and Robert the Strong, who wrote a book on the subject, an excerpt of which can be found below.

“ The language of the Dragonkin is as blunt as they are. From what I can gather, the sentence structure is direct and simple. I believe it follows a structure like this:-

Subject - Adjective if required - Action modifier - Action - Object.

So sentences like 'Odysseus went for a brisk walk in the park' would become 'Odysseus brisk walk in park'.

It seems that they really don't like to mince words, which may explain why much of their written language is only a handful of short excerpts.

Additionally I have encountered a few references to dragons that seem to have almost been given titles. The format for these appears to be Colour-Dragon-Title/Descriptor.

Dragonkin alphabet[edit | edit source]

The dragonkin alphabet is an alphabet consisting of 8 letters commonly used by the dragonkin at least until the destruction of Orthen, although it does not seem to be in common use today, as most recent dragonkin writings do not use it. Each symbol can represent three possible letters of the Latin alphabet, with the exception of the five vowels, which are represented by a single symbol.  The alphabet is first encountered in the Desperate Measures quest.

Symbol Possible letters
Dragonkin alphabet (AEIOU).png A, E, I, O and U
Dragonkin alphabet (BCD).png B, C and D
Dragonkin alphabet (FGH).png F, G and H
Dragonkin alphabet (JKL).png J, K and L
Dragonkin alphabet (MNP).png M, N and P
Dragonkin alphabet (QRS).png Q, R and S
Dragonkin alphabet (TVW).png T, V and W
Dragonkin alphabet (XYZ).png X, Y and Z

For a list of all the phrases that exist in-game written in dragonkin alphabet, see the related subpage.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Laniakea observes several dragonkin words in the southern dragonkin ruin on Anachronia, including 'locked', 'sacrifice', 'loss' and 'unity'. However the original inscription, and the original words, are unreadable by the player.

  48. ^ Kerapac's tablet, RuneScape. "[...] I was able to construct a Chenrath within the laboratory by tapping into the volcano's magma reserves. I can use this for all wastage without attracting undue attention from outside." Based on the known meaning of Chen (razed/destroyed) and Rath (fire), it can be deduced that chenrath means something approximating an incinerator.
  49. ^ Kalistrak is a compound word formed from the words Kalist and Rak. Rak means "above all". Given the context in which it is often used, it can be deduced that Kalist means research and that the Kalistrak (Library) is the place where the most important research is stored.
  50. ^ The phrase "Kreath Lac Roakin", which is translated as "Black lac Elder God" is used in a mural to represent black hands (who are assumed to be Xau-Tak) dragging away Kranon. Therefore, it is understood that the phrase should be interpreted as "Black Hands Elder God".
  51. ^ Dragonkin research, RuneScape. "[...] Giving it the dimension-warping abilities we need to study is making it more aware of itself, and its power puts it in a state of confusion. [...] We have, together, dubbed them 'pthencaraun draekun'." Based on the mention of dimension-warping abilities and confusion we can deduce this passage is talking about Astellarn. Given that Astellarn is the first celestial dragon, we can deduce that pthencaraun draekun refers to celestial dragons.
  52. ^ The appearance of the word as part of "Slancras" (incubator), and within "Skekslan", the cycle of reincarnation in which the Dragonkin believed, suggests that the word indicates the act of being born. If so, Skekslan could be literally translated as "death birth".
  53. ^ Dragonkin research, RuneScape. "My kreath takla draekun isn't behaving as before." Based on the context and other known words, kreath takla draekun means black takla dragon. From there it can be deduced that the text is referring to the black stone dragon, located in the Dragonkin Laboratory, where these pages are found.
  54. ^ Kerapac's tablet, RuneScape. "[...] I have installed a kreath takla drakeun, sister to the one abandoned beneath Ullergrax." Kerapac is referring to the black stone dragon encountered during Desperate Measures, which is the sister of the black stone dragon located in the Dragonkin Laboratory.
  55. ^ The phrase "Kerapac Vertentis Draekeun Lokur. Vek." translates as "Kerapac Vertentis Dragon Steel. Failure.", which seem to reference the events decribed in Forcae's journal: "Kerapac is a fool! He has discarded the metallic dragons as though they were a failure". On the other hand, Phalaks mentions the phrase "VERTENTIS! I'm leaving, Kerapac", in which Vertentis seems to be a direct translation of "I'm leaving".
