[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4708805, member: 4936"] Mew. I can't get Channel Divinity feats anyway. The MC feat doesn't grant the Channel Divinity class feature, so the feats wouldn't do me any good. :) As for language, I assumed there'd be a regional tongue. If not...lets see...I'm thinking perhaps Draconic. Perhaps dragons and/or dragonborn are common over there...remnants of their ancient empire. That may even be why human beings ended up on a whole other continent in the first place. The dragon empire spanned the world, and its human serfs went with it. As it decayed, the two human populations rose up in its place, but developed in different ways in the different lands... The humans of the East I think still have a sort of reverence for dragonkind, hence their references to 'holy dragons' or 'celestial dragons,' and the preservation of Draconic as a scholarly tongue. Or no...okay, how about this? The Eastern Continent was little more than a colony for the ancient Dragon Empire, and was cut off as the empire started to dissolve back at home. Realizing that they were on their own and vastly outnumbered, the dragons of the East decided to take on a conciliatory tone with the human vassals and nurture them (thus becoming part of their growing civilization, rather than trapped in their own failing one). The dragonborn Janissaries though took exception to this...their loyalty was born and bred to the Empire, and when they saw it as betrayed, they scattered to the hills and mountains...eventually becoming a constant thorn in the side of the growing human civilization. If we parallel the humans of the East with China, these dragonborn would be similar to the Mongol barbarians whose constant raids prompted one Emperor to begin construction of a great wall... So you have a funny duality, where the humans of the East revere dragons as holy and benevolent...but the dragonborn are considered a fallen race, tainted and demonic. Earthly perversions of the celestines! ... So yeah, I think my other language would be Draconic. :) [/QUOTE]
