Thanks for asking, Roberto!
In fact, you come very close, it is more or less Interlingua, another auxiliary language, albeit with some reform suggestions incorporated from its more than 50 years history which didn`t make it into 'official' Interlingua.
While continuity in an auxiliary language project may be a fine thing, for gaming purposes we liked to try out some new things in Ladorean, e.g. using 'sh' always for the same sound it signifies in English, unlike Interlingua, where often 'ch' is used for that sound as well. So, there are some differences mainly in spelling, the system of numbers and pronouns, but a fictional native of Ladorea would have no problems at all conversing with a native of 'Interlinguania'.
