Trivia[]
- The author intended Eimarin to be based on Greek, Old Persian, Finnish, Arabic, and Lithuanian.
- It was also partly inspired by Valarin, as the author intended for the Eimarin Celestials to correspond to corrupted Valar and Maiar.
- Among the few countries that still use Eimarin as a classical language today are Tuxavin and Milavon, two nations founded by Celestials. As devotees of their creator god, Odin, they also use His divine language, Aesiric.
