description: The language of the originators defines reality every word warping the world to fit its meaning. Its study transforms the mind and body and is closely guarded by stodgy paranoid academics. These hidebound men dont trust many students with their secrets especially not women and more especially not madwomen.

Of course if theyre wrong the language will make its mark on them instead.
