Language Skills

When a new player begins, they can only understand the language of the race they belong too (outsider or native), throughout the course of the game, one can learn the language of other races. Currently, one can check this page, Language, to see how natives or outsiders understand some common words of the opposite language. These skills are not required for the beginner player, but will greatly increase the enjoyment of role playing.


Basic language

Understand the smaller words of foreign languages

Full comprehension of foreign languages - Requires Advanced Language to learn.

The letter needed the correct inflection to it, the last thing Anthor wanted to do was accidently insult the dignitary from Durham.
