The language itself is being constructed by me, inspired by a few historical languages mixed together, if some words look familiar to anyone. If the English sounds strange, it is because it's an indirect translation of a text that itself was composed in the conlanguage. Either that, or because the religious background behind that is quite strange as it is, considering the backstory of the civilization it serves. I hope you don't mind the text being in an image, as it was the only proper way I could find to make the translation and the different voices understandable. I'm glad to finally take time to participate in one of these contests!
