-Introductory text.
+Fenekere is the first constructed language that we created. It was designed to be a mythological linguistic root for all languages for the purposes of our fiction. It is a language of the gods, so to speak. It is a very unflexible language, with a fixed vocabulary that cannot easily be expanded to accommodate new concepts and things. However, it also has an absolutely enormous vocabulary of 923,521 root words.
 == Fictional History ==
-How does Maofrrao fit into our fictional mythology, and where did it come from? How does it work in practice?
+In our fictional mythology, when Eh gave birth to all of their children, the Ktletaccete, and created the Earth out of their own body for their children to live on, each of Eh's children had an Art that they were the master of. One of the Ktletaccete was the Linguist, and one of the first things they did was to create a language for their siblings to speak to communicate with each other. They named this language Fenekere.
-== Lexography ==
+What the Linguist did was to give each of their siblings a unique name that consisted of four syllables, and that name would function as a root word in Fenekere. They gave Fenekere 31 consonents in order to accommodate the population of the Ktletaccete, which as 900,000. This created 923,521 root words, so the extra root words were assigned to the linguistic structures of Fenekere itself, a set of pronouns, and names for the natural laws and elements. Each root word functions as if it mean, "the Artist of performing this Art".
-What does the writing system for Maorfrrao look like, and how does it work?
+Until the Ktletaccete encountered other cultures, Fenekere served their purposes wonderfully, and many works of fiction and history were written using it. However, upon the tearing of the Hole in the Sky and the arrival of Outsiders, Fenekere proved insufficient to communicate with other peoples, and it was used in the construction of a pidgin and then a creole with the dominant language of the Outsiders, Mäofrräo.
