Category:Languages: Difference between revisions

There are several unique languages present in the world of Elanthia. Being able to speak and understand these tongues is based upon race.

In order to see which languages your character knows, and switch between them, use the LANGUAGE command.

Every character begins knowing Common (though some may choose to role-play not being fluent in Common), and their race's language.

You can learn additional languages by visiting Polyglot Yulna, in Asemath Academy. The number of slots you get — and how early you can unlock them — depends primarily on lore skillset placement and scholarship, although intelligence plays a small role. The cost to learn a new language is 25 platinum Kronars.

When speaking a language other than Common, you will see text similar to this:

You say in broken Prydaenese, "Greetings."

When speaking a language other than Common or your native racial language, you may speak with less than perfect fluency. There are six levels of fluency, each with three descriptors you can choose from. How fluently you can speak depends primarily on lore skillset placement and performance, although wisdom and charisma play a small role. When you learn a new language or switch to a new language for the first time, it will set a default fluency descriptor based on your current level of fluency. To change it, type LANGUAGE FLUENCY to see what you’ve unlocked. (You can speak at a lower level of fluency than your ability would allow.)

Other adventurers who also speak the language you are using will be able to understand what you are saying. Others will only see that you say something in <language>.

The Bard enchante Aura of Tongues allows everyone in the area to understand languages he or she might not usually know.
