[QUOTE="Branding Opportunity, post: 2239413, member: 31812"] Although the Living Greyhawk rules say that you only get the languages listed in the PHB, I will house rule (because it makes more sense to me) that any human born in the Sheldomar Valley (Sterich, Keoland, Geoff, Yeomanry, Gran March) knows Keolandish as a bonus language. In fact, there will be humans you will meet (especially in the backwoods) that will only speak Keolandish, not Common. Common is the trade tongue, while Keolandish is more what's spoken in the home. Having grown up in Europe, I'm very big on regional languages! While I'm on the subject, if you want a complete list of the major Greyhawk languages you can check out [url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/articles/flanaesslanguages"]http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/articles/flanaesslanguages[/url] Also, while I'm in a Greyhawk-specific mindsight, everyone make sure that you pick a home region (or country), mainly for flavor.
