[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7801570, member: 2012"] [USER=49929]@Scott DeWar[/USER], If your plan is to have Vinccenzo be born in another land beside Bluffside, there are some options. The main option is the Kingdom of Novarum, which is the [I]Mythic Italy[/I] of the continent. He could have been born there and then traveled to Bluffside as an adult. Or his family could have originally been from there, and they moved to Bluffside for some reason. His origins could also be closer to Bluffside. He could have been born/grown up in Ticinum or one of its old provinces that are now independent (for the most part) — the Kingdom of Várad, the Principality of Kalmonte, or the Vinovian Protectorate. That last one is watched over by Novarum. The Kingdom of Tarminan is also an option and that land is quite close to Bluffside. It's ruler is a very old man who is a vicious despot. Regardless, I think he'd speak the traditional language of Novarum (which is called Novarese) in addition to Cliffspeak if he grew up in Novarum. But, if he grew up in Ticinum, he'd speak Ticin instead. If he grew up in one of the provinces, he could speak one or the other. If he grew up in Tarminan, he'd speak its regional language, Tarmin. Of course, you don't have to have him be from somewhere else. Bluffside is one of the more cosmopolitan cities of The Northwest. I wouldn't call it a melting pot, more of a mosaic of peoples. Most Bluffsiders speak Cliffspeak for day-to-day life, but Ticin is the language of the courts and scholars. Also, is Vinccenzo going to be Neutral? I didn't see an alignment listed. [/QUOTE]
