Learning New Languages

Polyglot Yulna in Asemath Academy is the scholar of languages and may be able to tutor you. You can ASK ABOUT LEARNING <LANGUAGE> to learn a new language and you can ASK ABOUT FORGETTING <LANGUAGE> to forget the language you want. You cannot forget learning Common nor your native language.

You will not be able to learn a new language if you have Aura of Tongues active.

Notes

  • The Bardic enchante Aura of Tongues allows the Bard, and those grouped with the bard, to understand (but not speak) other spoken languages, depending on how much mana the bard has alloted for the enchante.
  • Certain rare artifacts also allow the understanding of all languages for a limited time.

Bugs

Some players have reported that their characters can speak the language of another race. This is a bug. ASSIST to have a GM fix it.
