The Amazo Clans

The Amazones are split currently into four large clans. Each had it's place and duty within the general culture of the Nation and even to this day represent a key set of bloodlines that add to the general tradition of the Amazo people.

The Snowleopard Clan, a group of Priests and the clan of the original Dynastic Queens. The Snowleopard is the oldest clan of the Nation and hold to their traditions with honor.

The RunningHorse Clan, founded by Queen Hippolyta when she fought the Achaens during the Trojan War. The RunningHorse has been the clan of the Warriors and Calvary officers for the past several centuries. Several of the later Dynasties also claim relation to this Clan.

The StormCrow Clan, formed by exiles in Northern Europe, they are a those that do their best to record the oral and written history of the nation. Some of most learned Shamanesses come from the this clan.

The LongTalon Clan, created when a group of Amazo were stranded along the Silk Road, the LongTalon over time married into the regions of India and in some cases China. They originally took up the old nomadic way when Themiscyra fell and were the last Clan to retake the oath to Artemis after the re-unification.

So after a while I've sat down and done a lot of work on the cases of Aɲazo (Pronounced Anyah-jo). (Amazo's official spelling). 

The cases are as followed:
-Adjectives that modify the noun assumed the same case as the noun.
Nominative: The case that is assumed in all basic forms of the noun. This is the case of the subject of the sentence.
Accusative: The case that is assumed when the noun is the direct object of the sentence. 
Genitive: The case that deals primarily with possession and is used for a variety of reasons.
Dative: The case that is assumed when something is given to another. The Dative is used for many other things including possession and the usage of passive and perfect past tense nouns.
Vocative: The vocative case doesn't cause any declension in nouns. It deals particularly with declaration and is often used when making prayers to the Spirits.
Locative: One of the two "irregular cases", locative deals with the location something and does not coincide with a Definite Article or Determiner.
Ablative: The Ablative is one of the two "irregular cases" and is heavily influenced by the Latin Ablative. It is used as a way to reference the movement of something and is often used for many other purposes the same the way the words "with" and "within" work.

The two Irregular Cases are layovers from Persian past of Aɲazo. The usage of Ablative was heavily changed with the Roman invasion of Themiscyra and the loss of Amazon unity. The one thing that kept the usage alive of the two cases was in fact the solidarity bred between the Clans as they were spread throughout the Empire. One reason why in fact that Aɲazo was revived was because of the identity the Amazons kept after so long. That even with the fall of their cities, that they still had the spirit of Artemis with them.

Amazo Indefinite Article And the Definite!

The Indefinte Article does not exist in Amazo. One simply uses the Definite Article.

Singular
Female
Male
Neuter
Nominative
ɩ
o
τɩ
Genitive
τηϸ
τηɩ
Dative
δω
τω
Accusative
την
τɑν
τɩ

Not a completely clean look, the given information is more to show the fact that a table can't copy right. However, after finally covering the basis of the Definite Article I can finally move onto noun stems! The sound change list is every growing also just to note ;)

Manchester, Oxford and the Asker Family

The Asker Foundation is part of a family of companies run and owned by the Asker Family. The Askers came to England during the 1960s when violence broke out in their homeland of Cyprus. Though some might consider it strange, the family lives along side the large Greek/Turkish community existing outside of Manchester in a small sattelite town called Rockhollow.

Rockhollow is a major enclave of various cultural groups. One of them being Amazo.

There is also a bad guy finally for Arrow Child. He has two henchmen, one being a former IRA enforcer named Lial.

Update...

A long week and little to no movement on Arrow Child. My friends got me back into Dungeons and Dragons. So now here I am working on a home brew campaign for them. I have started thinking about the general next scene of the story. Right now I want to focus on the family life of young Eleni and the interaction between her and her friends and relatives.

The one thing I do have so far is a villain like person and I'm developing a general plot. Once I get more work done I'll post the notes here.

Ciao ;)

Teeth out and Amazon names...

So deciding what happens in the next part of Arrow Child is taking a while. Most of it is sketching out names and getting an idea of the family dynamic. So the word amount is on hold as I slowly work on that. There has been no major updates on Amazo as I was jack by my guild mates for the week.

However I am back and I plan to post a few names for the upcoming section of Arrow Child:

Eleni Alkaiaes
Adelphi Alkaiase

I'll talk more about the two as the book progresses. All names in the book are subject to change as everything moves along.
