Amal (from Arabic, “hope”) is one of the two capitals of Castalia, the region of communication, together with Qo. It belongs to the Northern Alliance.
Amal is the pedagogical vision that transforms the future into a shared aspiration. Here the word is the bridge between the present and the possible: it is education and psychology, but also linguistic and philological research, attention to the deep structure of words and their history.
