Notes: Sorry, this wound up being 8000 words of worldbuilding, haha. I promise that all of this is going to be actually relevant to the story. Eventually. Let me know if there are any tenses in here that sound wrong, I went back and forth a bit on what tenses some parts of this dialog should be in.

[personal profile] paradoxcase
Name: Yesora's Grammar
Story: The Fulcrum
Colors: Ecru #13: Begin, Techelet #2: Tzedakah (Obligation to charity), Color of the Day (Jan. 27 2025): Shilly-shally
Styles and Supplies: Canvas, Panorama, Novelty Beads (January Canvas/Frame challenge), Cartography, Portrait
Word Count: 6348
Rating: T
Warnings: Implied violence, non-detailed description of serious injuries
Characters: Yesora, her family and contemporaries, Tyäqe, and Faiyule
In-Universe Date: Year -36 (before the Gift)
Summary: Priestesses from the future arrive with the Grammar of a new language, disrupting Yesora's religious practice and way of life.
Notes: Not the document on Github, this is a side-story about Yesora's Grammar, and the changes it made to religious practice, why the priesthood is all female, and where a number of the conventions that are present in Setsiana's day came from (as well as the origin of the word that's being translated as "priestess"). I wanted to wait to post this until after introducing the Egalitarian heresy, for I hope obvious reasons.
