Successors' Dictionary - TheGiraffe3/Endless-Sky-Creators-Handbook GitHub Wiki
Original text, by Daeridanii
The Successors have a very rudimentary language established. This can and should be added to and change over time. This is not a feature-complete language! Its main goal is to create a unified "sound" and "feeling" for Successor names, outfits, systems, etc.
