Month 7, day 15, more translation work done! Finished out (most of) the Athian alphabet and translated that new piece of paper I found :D
That paper is weird; the start of the article is on the right side of the paper, and is talking about a machine that crushes stuff into powder for medicine. Then about two thirds to three quarters of the way down in the left column, it turns into some kind of documentation about Autodesk Maya 2011 features compared to Autodesk Maya 2010.
I also made a discovery! Cuff's scan of the baddies gives you the monsters' names in Athian below their English name :D I bet I could also get the rest of the numerical characters by paying attention and being quick with the screenshot button when I play through memories, since those have dates in them and I've watched them switch from Athian to English.

Athian Alphabet Challenge
Inspired by this Tengwarish Gothic alphabet, I dare anyone who wants to make Athian even more unreadable to develop a Tengwar-like set of letterforms for Athian. :P

I really dig the Athian border flags. Like, it triggers something inside me that I have in real life. Oh shit, I am crossing the border with Groningen.

Re-playing through Forspoken sadly my completed save is all gone so I had the opportunity to replay through got to one of the locked labyrinths and discovered something very interesting…
If any one could figure out what the red text says that would be great it’s hard to see but it is in Athian. Also looks like a Rheddah soldier mask on a skeleton makes you wonder what happened here…. I’m thinking that each locked labyrinth says something different or has a different symbol on it.

All right. It's time to has out the game-relevant Athian timeline. I've been going through the lore entries and looking at various dates. Doing so has caused me to realize some little details that I find quite intriguing. This will go in two posts: this one about the Break and the implications of its timeline, and a second regarding the war against the Rheddig and its associated implications. So! Here we go.
Tumblr media
The most recent war with the Rheddig, culminating in the Athian victory known as the Purge of the Rheddig, began with invader landfall on 3/10/3874.
Tumblr media
The aforementioned Purge, and with it the decisive victory of the Athian defenders, occurred on 5/18/3874. This provides us with a war duration of approximately two months.
The next few years are spent rebuilding a war-torn Athia until the Break appears. Now, the Break does not actually appear until the first Tanta, Tanta Prav, goes mad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She seems to fully fall on 8/1/3877, sentencing someone to death for stealing an apple. The Break is first seen on 9/15/3877, in all realms but Junoon.
Tumblr media
Junoon remains free of the Break until 12/27/3877, upon which it succumbs as well. The Break continues to spread and, roughly one year later on 12/17/3878, covers about 80% of Athia and has killed 99% of its people.
So! What bits of information can be gleaned from this data?
1. The Break seemingly first appears when the Tantas lose their inner battles against Susurrus. It is not until the first Tanta goes mad that we see it mentioned in the records. And it is not until Junoon's Tanta falls that the Break is able to enter Junoon. It's logical to consider, then, that the Break doesn't just come from Cuff, but from some corruption of Tanta magic facilitated by Cuff being bound to and tormenting them. After all: Susurrus' first attack on Athia, many years ago, made no mention of Break-like phenomena. Likely because he was not bound to anyone, but broken and sealed in the Labyrinths. This is further supported by the Break being strongest around corrupted Tantas' castles but not around, say, Frey, who is bound to Cuff but not corrupted.
Tumblr media
2. The Tantas internally fought Susurrus for at most nine months, much likely less. Cinta's memories inform us that Cinta fought against Suss and helped bind him when already pregnant with Frey. She loses her internal battle with him soon after Frey's birth. Frey was born on 12/25. We can assume this was 12/25/3877, as Cinta succumbs to Susurrus, allowing the Break to take Junoom, on 12/27/3877 the moment she sends infant Frey away. So for Cinta to have bound Suss while pregnant, only to fall very shortly after Frey's birth, means that she held him for less than nine months. The other Tantas held out shorter than she did. Cuff is apparently a very difficult person to live with.
3. We start the game in the Athian year 3898, given that Frey has just turned 21. Susurrus likewise states that he's been waiting twenty-one years for his vengeance. Game starts on 12/25/3898, likely moves into the year 3899, given that its events take at least a few weeks. This means that Susurrus is imprisoned for a third time in the year 3899.
Mind you, all of this hinges upon Earth dates and Athian dates corresponding, which we have no official word on. I like to think they do, given how Frey's birthday fits into things. And given how providing the Athian days would be sort of pointless if their year wasn't essentially like ours, simply because without that frame of reference, the dates just wouldn't mean much.
But! Assuming the dates correspond properly, this gives us insight on how long things took, so to speak. And how the formation and spread of the Break corresponded to the Tantas' internal struggles with Cuff.
Now... let me go type up this next bit about the Rheddig...

Question of Tanta Prav's ethics in war & Tanta Sila's actions
We know that the Purge of Rheddig involved the Athian armies hunting down and killing any remaining Rheddig in Athia, "soldiers and civilians alike," as stated in the lore. This meant no taking prisoners of war and no Rheddig refugees remaining...as there'd be no Rheddig left alive in Athia.
That makes me wonder what Tanta Prav's ethics and code of justice were during the war with the Rheddig to permit such a purge. However, I also know this is set in a Middle Ages-like era, where modern concepts of wartime ethics aren't guaranteed to exist.
Would there have been any disagreements between Tanta Prav and Tanta Sila? Regardless, any disagreements probably wouldn't be public to Athians, considering how that'd affect morale.
Prav seems quite strict with her ethics. Meanwhile, Sila seems more in line with doing whatever it takes for a successful outcome in a war. I think Sila was described as honorable in the lore...but Athians are obviously unreliable narrators when it comes to their Tantas. And Sila was also described as merciless to her enemies. Furthermore, Sila's realm was described as a "realm dedicated to War" in the lore.

The Athian Alphabet Thoughts
If you look at the ordering of the letters as depicted in the official art book, one thing that is noteworthy is that the order is not simply "A, B, C, etc" as it is in English or most other languages whose major writing system is based on the Latin alphabet.
It also isn't "A, B, G, etc" as is the conventional order pioneered in the Greek alphabet and used in other writing systems such as Cyrillic, Coptic and even Gothic.
The order goes "U, B, K, A, J, etc."
If anything, it reminds me of the Futhark which has the most bizarre (at least, to a non native user) order used for an Indo-European language, and it makes me wonder what in-verse explanation there is for Athians deciding on an order like that.
