Legacy issue: Salis Mundus

[xenxero1]

In world explanation: The first Eldritch to cross the threshold pioneered the roots of our language (Latin), Humans either misinterpreted it, or the proper grammar was fudged over the years, similar to how Latin descended into many other languages.

Thaumcraft is all about discovering the hidden truths to nature, how it works, and figuring out the REAL inner workings of the universe (imo). It would be somewhat funny to have that relevation that we had the answers. They've just gotten so effed over the years that they're scrambled to high hell. It could also explain why the Eldritch writings are incomprehensible, but almost make sense. It was the origin of language, but without guidance we Warped it into our own sense of logic and reasoning.

Idk man, long in-world explanations are my thing. I apologize for the lengthy and rattly post.

Google Translate Latin is the best Latin

Salis Mundus does have more of a ring to it though.

[xenxero1]

Perhaps Salis Mundus makes sense. Due to the world of salt it is trying to make it early game.

Also... if "mundus" here means "clean" (as an adjective), then the genitive "salis" should be changed to the nominative "sal".

Thaumcraft has always been full of wrong Latin. I gave up on trying to correct it.

[3TUSK]

I might want to give a shot on this during spring break...

[Vexatos]

As a person knowing the language, it is still mildly upsetting to see wrong Latin in a mod, but if you want it to stay, there's nothing to do about that.

I actually prefer 'Sal Mundi', upon some reflection. But then, I'm the kind of guy who takes pains to get grammatically correct Japanese or Old Norse (or, OK, Dovahzul) names for in-game named weapons...
