Origins
The language came from the atraxi who settled in Xalmyrra. They first arrived at Irrathis and learned Malverine, the local tongue. The people of Teryndal then adopted the newcomers' more structured and efficient language.
The atraxi settled mainly in Irrathis, Valcirae and Varentis. Trade and cultural exchange spread their language until Teryndal, Soltheris, Erenmyr and Keldara shared Xalmyrran.
Traces on Earth
Thalena found the Xalmyrran inscription “Welcome to Planet Dirt” on a gate beneath an Earth pyramid. On Crete, she could also read inscriptions in Linear A, whose script resembled Xalmyrran. One referred to a Data-Scar.
