| Uniqueness | Iltârer is the language of the Iltâr, one of the Thekashi peoples. There are two forms of the language, but the southern form is not currently documented. There were some interactions with other Thekashi languages, but the influence on Iltârer has been minimal. |

| Design Principles | The language is intended to embody a suite of alien metaphysical and spiritual concepts, as well as a penchant for metaphorical expression. |
