Should maybe look into it...I can't remember what movie it was, but I did see one, recently, where a character was reading out of a book they were translating and then they stopped saying the Faux-Latin words before translating... and another character asks "How are you translating this fast?!" and the response is "I'm not! It turned into English!" or something similar.Or how in the Evil Dead, Ash and literally anyone else who picks up the Necronomicon can just read the words right off the page. Even though they're meant to be ancient Sumerian cuneiform that -most- Americans wouldn't even recognize as a language, much less understand.That's the kind of magic language I'm talking about. Where it -wants- to be read.If it's one they took through leveling I'd say let 'em replace it if they like. If it's one they're granted as a narrative "Boon" then they're stuck with it. They'd still benefit from the knowledge/training they've had, even if they quit the cult.Rivers.The one that "Starts" at Lagan (The Borsai) is actually a long central river made from runoff of the Scorpion Tail mountains. Lots of little rivulets and streams pour down the side of it all the way along it's length from where it begins at the Damashur oasis in a spectacular waterfall. Part of why no one lives on the west side of the Borsai is the flooding that can wash away lots of land and homes. I just didn't bother to put them all on the map. On the far side, the river Ur, is the unusual one, in that it starts from a spring in the highlands of Kyran and then gains other waters as it goes down toward the Shallow Sea.The Scorpion Lands, as a whole, are highest in the Left Claw, at Achelb, and the entire thing descends on a jagged grade down toward the Shallow Sea.Part of why Abu Sadin looks like it was built on the side of a massive hill, it kind of is. The Khufu is below it and most of the Northern Scorpion Lands.</blockquote>
