[QUOTE="green slime, post: 3693353, member: 1325"] Two major human languages: One based on Latin, the other, Arabic. They are the languages of competing Empires. The Dwarven language is extinct, having been exterminated in a war, but their Runic alphabet is still studied. Here is a list of the Langauges available: (parentheses indicate how this language is commonly written) Abyssal, (Infernal), Living language, Knowledge penalises a mortal -2 Will saves against Demonic abilities, but gain a +2 profane bonus on Intimidate checks. Aquan, (Celestial, Draconic), Living language, Care should be taken using this language near large bodies of water, as it is heard in the dreams of the Elemental Prince of Water Auran, (Celestial, Draconic, + one unknown alphabet), Living language, Care should be taken using this language, as it is heard in the dreams of the Elemental Prince of Air. Celestial (Celestial), Living language, Mortals cannot lie in this language, and Celestials do not lie. Centauri, (Seldom written, Imperii), Living language, Spoken by the Centaurs of the north. A barbaric tongue few learned will admit to knowing. Draconic, (Draconic), Almost extinct langauge, spoken fluently by only a few learned mortals. Dwarven, (Dwarven), Dead Language, Non-spoken language. Texts are studied in places of learning. Giant, (Dwarven), Living Language, Spoken by Giants. Ignan, (Draconic, Infernal), Living Language, Care should be taken using this language near sources of heat, as it is heard in the dreams of the Elemental Prince of Fire. Imperii, (Imperii), Living Language, Common tongue of the Empire. Infernal, (Infernal, Living Language, Oaths spoken in Infernal are eternally binding. Terran, (Infernal, Draconic, Dwarven), Living Language, Care should be taken using this language near earth, rock and stone, as it is heard in the dreams of the Elemental Prince of Earth. Undragl, (Undragl) Living Language, Common tongue of the Eastern Wastes. Comparisson to real-world alphabets: * Celestial appears as Chinese characters. * Draconic appears similar to Mayan heiroglyphs. * Dwarven appears as Futhark Runes. * Imperii as Latin letters. * Infernal as Egyptian heiroglyphs. * Undragl as Arabic script.
