How do languages work between the kingdoms? Is there a common language everyone uses (kind of like English), or do people just speak the same language? I'm wondering about this because Silvensia speaks its own version of Elvish called Silver Elvish (because my brain decided to make them Silver Elves, which I think I made up...?) or Silvensian, so Lidia would have to converse with humans in a language that is not her own. Or, if someone is speaking in a language she doesn't know, she will have to use translation spells.

I wanted to ask about the language thing as well, before all of the leaders meet up IC.

Also, I am currently righting a GUCCI post with some lore thrown into the mix. Hope it turns out alright :)

Everyone does speak their own languages, but there is a common tongue called Paralian, it was the shared language of the very first tribes to settle there.. almost everyone is taught how to speak it.

Sick. Lidia would be fluent in that, then.

I have a post too...and I’m thinking about making one more leader. Their country is a little bit small on the political stage but they don’t really care.

Golly gee wilikers, that was a long post! My hands are worn out. Nothing like some advisor conflicts and excessive xenophobia to spice up a post.

I feel like there should be a few NPC elvish kingdoms. Not necessarily huge political influencers outside the elf species, but kingdoms that would add more depth to the species and create INTERNATIONAL TENSIONS for Silvensia.

I agree, that would be pretty interesting. It does raise a few questions;
Who created elves and humans?
How did they develop side by side?
How are they different?

I think we'll end the day by the end of the second page, and that's when we'll start...just to give everybody the opportunity to finish up what they need to do.

Hettie is the way more discreet "I have standards" thot and Charles is the "I give zero fucks" type of thot.

Hettie has a reputation to maintain. Charlie already kinda has a reputation so he's less likely to care...although he has been working to boost the country's reputation ever since King Vic went on his little warring spree.

Oh man, if they got betrothed it would be really funny...just like if Charles and Andoras got betrothed. Both would be packed with possibilities, but Charlie has two rules: Nobody under 17, and NO VIRGINS. EVER.

Of course if his country is at stake, he may have to break those rules. In theory.

Well, Lidia breaks both those rules. But, if things don't work out, Lidia could be betrothed to Anthony.

Sorry for being off topic, but I'm curious to know your nation's stance(s) on cyclopes and their re-introduction to surface politics. For context, the cyclopes were basically driven underground by other species (primarily humans and elves) a little over two thousand years prior to the current IC date. Now that I think about it, most in-universe modern nations probably didn't exist back then, but I thought it would be worth asking.

They don't view cyclopes as inferior; however, they know very little about them or the underground peoples in general.

YOU KNOW I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT HER MARRYING ANTHONY! Are we twins?!

And Ovesa, as for my nations and their stances, they really don't care. Like, race is the last thing on their minds, especially Agcron because the old empires tried to colonize it earlier in its founding.

Tbh I dunno who Charles would marry at this point, because he'd marry if it meant helping his country but on top of being young...dude's still in love with Henriette. Can you say drama bomb?
