1. I guess you've probably been asked this before, but what made you decide to develop a conlang for Kiu Ghesik?
2. Probably been asked this too, but what led you to make Ari's personality the way it is? Not sure if I've ever seen an introverted nomadic leader before.
1. Because it makes giving things unique names easier, and it adds to the immersion.
2. Because I didn't want to fall into the trope of "Conan, what is best in life?" I wanted to make her dynamic, and more importantly I wanted her to be the sort of person you can emphasize with. Her role is so far removed from, say, average Joe getting his coffee it can be hard to connect. And so I portray her in familiar situations with familiar troubles; not wanting to disappoint a role model, struggling to live up to the expectations of others, that sort of thing. I at least think it shows her as human rather than "badass warlord". So, tl;dr, for the same reason you gave Ilitu character troubles. To make her more sympathetic as a character.
