Over time, Sanctus slowly evolved into Common. Ianus is the step between the two. Like Sanctus, it is also a dead language, though it still has its uses. in the time that Oluwai had come to Etan, Ianus was the common language used throughout the land. Because of this, the Arcane Tap is accessed with the words of Ianus. Those that learn Sanctus find little trouble in learning Ianus.

Ianus was originally the language of the humans before and during the time of the Divine Schism. After the Sator created their own races, each race created their own languages and the humans stuck to Ianus out of distrust. After the Second Divine War, Common was created as a trade language, a language of trust. By the early Age of Mortality, Ianus had died out.
