[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 7025081, member: 6801311"] The various regions of the Arideen Empire speak the Common tongue, though with enough differences that one can tell where you're from, a bit similar to American dialects, or differences between Spanish speaking countries. You can understand each other, but unless they're careful, there's a definite, "Oh, yeah, he's from Helveki" to it. Among the nobility, the "classical" three languages of education are Common, Elven, and Dwarvish, representing the main races in the empire. In Helveki, where Theremin is from, Infernal has become important (because you don't want to make a contract with a devil without knowing all the details of the fine print). Another possibility is learning to speak the language of whatever mercenary soldiers serve your house (goblin, orc, giant, etc), though most nobles likely wouldn't really stoop to sully themselves and would have someone on staff that could speak it. Since he has an Academy education, he might know any of the more exotic languages. It really depends on how you view his House and its situation within the Queendom of Helveki and your House's goals and desires. You're off to the far west, so perhaps not at the center of politics? Or maybe you want to be? Does your House have an infernal pact? Does it use monstrous mercenaries? Or does it try to toe the line of loyalty while keeping the governmental structure at arms' length? You're elves and half-elves. Do you maybe have a close relationship with a fey community in the forests of your region? Who else falls under the bounds of your barony? [/QUOTE]
