Setting
As Miri'e slowly began merging with Colossian to form High Colossian, Hesilinn began going extinct. The language survived only as an occult language, taught only to few, and as a means of safe communication. Those that learned it had to go through rigorous training to be initiated in the language. Those that speak it are highly revered.
