Briss is the language of Silver Rain Republic nationals further south, beyond Urt. It developed from the local language of the islanders there and contains many words describing nature and the weather or pertaining thereto. For example, there is no word for "Red" in Briss, instead the proper word for it is "blood coloured" whereas "White" is "snow coloured". Likewise, names in Briss are almost always descriptive of that person. A particularly red-haired man may be known as "bloodhaired" in Briss. It is not customary to translate these names to other languages, instead in Hodgepot, the name "bloodhaired" would become "Ericus", for example.
