Cool, someone else who has derived their languages from a fantasy world they created! :) I did that too... but most conlangers I've talked to have these IALs, or these distant-future Earth althists, or something like that. It's kind of neat to have a whole planet with all of its language families to play with, too, because then they can borrow from each other, evolve into other languages, and crazy stuff like that.
