What was the contest [the Xi'an animal naming event]?
Cherie HeibergWriter and Archivist
The idea was we created these cool animals that are native to the area of the Xi'an Empire. Three of them, to be precise. Josh came up with these wonderful creature designs, and Lore worked together to create backstories and descriptions of the animals. And Britt had the idea that we invite the community to participate in the further development of the Xi'an language through this collaborative, more or less, competition, where we had people submit names for the creatures, ideas of idioms, using the Xi'an language as we know it and constructing words in a grammatically correct fashion, or coming up with new words as the situation demands.
