or just that aetherchat rendered vocal speech unnecessary? And aetherchat seems to work irrespective of language

Tells don't. They're language dependant, but they're also directed aetherchat. At least as I understood their explanation in Lusternia.

Hallifax enslaved dwarves, if I remember correctly. Why would you speak the language of those you look down upon? Unless it was explained that someone had to be communicating with them in order to tell them what to do (but that would be saying that lucidians weren't smart enough to learn it). So... yeah, trills should have their own language. But not the same as dwarves.

No one said anything about lucidians or trill speaking dwarfish?

Surely it would be called Clangoru, or Clangorum or something. Not dwarvish. tongue.gif

I should have quoted. This is what I'm referring to.

I still think that Trill not having any sort of native language is total bull. You said they came from the mountains, so why can't they speak Dwarven?

Dwarves speak dwarvish because the true name of the Dwarves if Clangoru, after the god they were formed from, Clangorum. That said, the true language wouldn't be call Dwarvish, since humans called them dwarves after whateverplanet they came from.

That said, why would the dwarves share their language with a bunch of birds? It seems to me like trill and humans are basically the same as Humans and Atavians in Achaea, with just atavians being able to fly, but trill have better stats and bonuses.

Since the whole topic is a hijack, can anyone tell me what the divine language is all about?

Rhysus2006-03-03 17:27:32
Yeah, it's the language the Gods speak to one another and write in. I can read it!

Is that why there's that fancy 'translated history of the elder wars'? Was that in divine?

Yes, each Org got a purty silver book to translate.

I only saw three chapters in it sad.gif


the Dracnoris one(hehehehe, Drac Norris), the Thrillial one and the Mugwumpis one...

...duh?

So far from what Ive been keeping track of, whomever holds the books in each Org have only deciphered three of the chapters. Dracnoris, Trillillial and Mugowumpois. We dont know what happens next, we know that many Gods fragmented themselves to create the Shards of the races today and of those that went extinct when the Soulless began to devour the mortals and eventually those who didnt dissapeared into the Void.
Hazar2006-03-05 01:37:16
I find this immensely frustrating. I say we kidnap all the gods but Elcyrion, then say we won't give them back till he tells us what happened.
