Domains

The Chromafey Season is divided into a collection of Domains, each ruled by a so-called Dominant, which can both be a sole individual or a group. The Dominant answers to the Color Court, but generally has great liberty to do with their domain as they please. The borders of a Domain may shift over time, or even occasionally overlap with a different Domain.

Provinces

The Chromafey Season is divided into a collection of Provinces, generally smaller than Domains, each ruled by a Provost, which can both be a sole individual or a group. The Provost answers to the Color Court, and often also to the Domain they are a part of. While Domains are more fluent, Provinces are often more clearly defined. Because of the shifting nature of Domains, their rule over a Province sometimes changes hands, and some Provinces might be part of multiple Domains.

Vei-Nomili

Vei-Nomili is a language family. Vei-Nomili languages follow a similar set of rules. The only type of words used are nouns; they are strung together to convey meaning. Words are also vague in their meaning, standing more as a symbol of certain themes. One word might symbolize fire, scarlet, rubies, hatred, intensity, force, or any with those associated themes, depending on the context. It all gives the language a cryptic and figurative style.

An example of how it might feel. One might say something that can be interpreted either "My heart is with the the crowned skull", "I desire to kill the king", or "I am at the heart, controlling the skeleton of the monarchy". The speech being in form of a string of ambiguous nouns a literal translation might be "Ego Heart Skull Crown" or "Identity Love Death Rule". To grasp the intended meaning context matters a lot.

When a conversation starts, usually there is an phase of "setting the scene". Participants get familiar with each other's style and use of words and meaning, making later communication easier. Sometimes new words are created in this stage, describing them through a string of existing words. It also allows individuals with differing but similar Vei-Nomili vocabularies to use this first phase to create a foundation of vocabulary for the conversation. This can make every conversation unique.

Palewood Vei-Nomili
A Vei-Nomili variant with standardized vocabulary has been established as the official language of the Color Court. Palewood Vei-Nomili. It is the standard and most common language for things official, but by no means the only one used.
