I do not usually express my opinions on these stories with words, but I assure you that a lot of them are really good and I have at least tried to give a like to all the fictions I have liked. When I see something really horrible and blatantly lore breaking, I jump in and correct.
And as a small note, this forum is not simply for writing your own fiction pieces. Like in the EVE Online fiction forums, it is often used for discussing the lore of New Eden and asking questions about it. And those threads are the ones CCP is most often going to reply in. |

It may seem morbid, but I really enjoyed the Methods of Torture stories for the four empires. I would also like to ask if you could give me a source to view information on Intaki and their customs, as well as a crash course on their language if such information exists. I need it to flesh out a character in my story. Plus I'm sure it would be an interesting read for some of us.
Well, there isn't much PF (prime fiction, CCP written info and stories aka. canon) and what little exists can be found here. However, my corporation, the Intaki Liberation Front has tons of player created fiction around, including a fully developed Intaki language. If you go to our website on the left side navigation bar there are five tabs for different information about Intaki.
- Economy, this shows some basic stats about the Intaki economy and in what ways money is made within Intaki and its colonies.
- Geography, gives some details about Intaki Prime, the homeplanet of the Intaki people
- History, basically a draft of all the information that exists of the Intaki history and how they ended up being where they are today.
- Kendu Kanarma, the description and ruleset of the Intaki-born sport, similar to football.
- Philosophy, describes the Intaki faith Ida in detail
- Language, by far the most interesting and useful one in my opinion. On the main page is a short description of the Intaki language and a small lexicon.
But if you really want to indulge yourself into the Intaki language(like I am), give Vaanin K'Intaki ( http://www.ilfcorp.com/docs/vaanin_k_intaki.pdf ) a read, it's an in-depth analysis of the Intaki language and how it works, perfect if you want to learn speak or write Intaki yourself. When you scroll further down the language page, there is a link for downloading a zip file for a full dictionary, along with some proverbs, common phrases, titles, profanity and a small guide on how to morph words to each lexical category. And since the Intaki language has its own font, the transliterator converts the letters you type into Sintrakis, perfect if you want to add some Intaki phrases for your fictions. An example could be this: a+ôa+¦a+ÿa+¦a+í, a+áa+ña+ôa+¦a+û a+ûa+¦a+Åa+¦a+ÿa+¦a+ó+ª a+æa+¦a+É -- Hello, I am Denak Kalamari.
Finally, our forums has a few threads discussing Intaki lore, and a member of our corp has created a blog that has additional info on Intaki culture. While most of it is in French and hasn't been updated for a while, it still has some nice info.
I hope these links help you make your character feel more Intaki, and you can always ask me if you have any further questions about the subject. |

Luckily the character won't appear for a while, so I'll have time to really dig into this. Thanks a lot. You're welcome, I'm always happy to help people with lore, especially on the Intaki people. |
