This lyrical odyssey follows Peleg, a scholar from the elitist Argent Spire, as he abandons the cold pursuit of linguistic purity to explore the vibrant, breathing reality of human speech. His journey takes him through a monumental tower where languages are living landscapes—from the ancient forests of the Celts and the defiant Slavic villages to the rhythmic oral traditions of the Pacific and beyond. Along the way, Peleg witnesses the struggle between institutional control and the organic evolution of culture, discovering that language is not a static artifact to be archived, but a fluid map of human identity and resistance. As empires of linguistic echoes crumble, the story explores the profound beauty of communication found in silence, song, and shared breath. Ultimately, Peleg’s transformation from a rigid academic to an awakened witness celebrates the enduring power of words to survive erasure and the liberation found in letting go of the need to control meaning.
