Languages (Uncommon)

Character Skill Knowledge Skill

These are languages actively spoken in the world but difficult to find a teacher for.

Description

Uncommon languages represent languages either actively spoken by a species without a homeland in the modern era, or a language that is no longer in active use.

These languages can only be acquired through being a member of a particular species and role-playing skills (most typically Scholar).

Andaranian

This is a dead language, no longer actively spoken in Novitas by any one who lives there. Most often it is found in texts from days long past. It is not unheard of for creatures so disconnected from mortality to assume that this language is still in active use, and as such these creatures will sometimes attempt to communicate using it and will be very confused when those present have no idea what they are saying.

Apian

The language of intelligent insectoid creatures of Novitas. Different species have different levels of proficiency with the language, with Ettercaps being generally the most proficient of all the insectoid species. Most speakers of this language do not read or write it, again with Buzzer Queens and Ettercaps being the most notable exceptions.

Canine

The language of Kazvaks, a species that blends characteristics of humans and dogs. Written Kazvak documents exist but are relatively rare as most Kazvaks don't know how to read or write. Typically written Kazvak is incredibly simplistic, single words to pass along warnings or markings of territory. Most often full documents written in Canine were produced by other speakers who wish to use Canine as a way to pass hidden messages to one another.

Diabolic

This is the language of the Dark Fae. Often learned by their Faekin descendants as part of their heritage. In the past this has been considered a dangerous language to learn because the Dark Fae aren't the most reliable of teachers.

Draconic

Originally spoken by the Dragons who have faded from the land of Novitas. It is still used to this day by Drakes, Pisceans, and many Reptilian creatures. No present day nations actively speak this language, though there are a significant number of sentient creatures who use it as their primary language.

Documents written in Draconic are typically represented by the Daedric language from the Elder Scrolls franchise.

Sylvan

This is the language of the Light Fae. Often learned by their Faekin descendants as part of their heritage.
