Well, I don't have a conworld for Thagojian yet, plus something like this
would help me pull my finger out and get back busy working on the language
itself. Pencil me in, please.

It's a (partly-)laryngeal-retaining satem IE language with Semitic and
Egyptian/Coptic borrowings spoken in the region between Egypt and Israel.
I have a little conreligion worked out, but I know not enough about
Christianity of the 8th to 12th centuries to really put much together. I
can't even (right now) remember the names of the heresies that the
Thagojian Church was based on.
