 ======Languages======
 Languages with sub dialects such as Common and Primordial are able to understand the other languages if there is context, or enough time to process the information.

 ====Standard====
-**Common**
+**Common**\\ As its name entails, the common language used by mortals though it only takes up about 30-40% of the total spoke language and many people are able to speak multiple languages especially adventurers..
-Dialects: Armtonese (Reton), Colvillian (Covania), Oxtradian (Oxtrad)
-**Dwarvish**
+**Dwarvish**\\ The Language of the Dwarves, As Sturdy and rugged as the people are. there is little grace in speaking Dwarvish as its a language of direct meaning, there is a lack of metaphors or double meanings to words spoken in Dwarvish but the culture certainly likes to relate many things back to mining.
-**Elvish**
+**Elvish**\\ The Origins of the elves and their speech is lost to time it olds the essence of Sylvan and the structure of arcane. Such as a language that has been refined into something new being Elvish. The words spoken can be as sharp as a blade or as soft as a cloud, there is little in-between. In Felwind its such a common language than many mortals typically know a few phrases no matter their lineage. But it still remains a language that offers respect to elves when spoken properly.
-**Giant**
+**Giant**\\
+If Draconic is the language of magic then Giant or //Skilt//((Translating to Rune in Common from Giant)) as its properly called is the language of the physical world. The building blocks for the mountains, rivers and clouds. Works spoken in Giant hold power alone. Runeic Magic can be found sparsely scattered through //Felwind// and if you know the language those can understand and harness the Runic power. In [[culture:jotun|Goliath]] tribes to speak Giant is to swear your being to the words you speak ad so its not so casually spoken but very well learned. \\
-**Gnomish**
+**Gnomish/ Halfling**\\ some bastardisation of Sylvan and Dwarvish. The language shares many words with both languages but to speak it properly is its own understanding. Its only ever used in the tight communities of Gnomes and Polders and there is some argument as to who copied who. There are some ever so slight differences between how a Gnome Speaks and how a Polder speaks but unless you encounter a particular snobby linguist you should be able to get by without knowing the finer details.

 ====Exotic====
-**Abyssal**
+**Abyssal**\\ a Language used by the monstrosities commonly found in the //Far-Realm// or //Shadow-fell//. When the shadows in the dark speak, this is the tongue they use.
+**Celestial**\\ a Language named after the people who speak it. Gods, Angels, Seraphs and other such beings of //Mount Celestia// will speak this and only this language. Not out of ignorance but rather a sense of superiority. [[culture:Loxodon]] & [[culture:aasimar|Leonin]] included. Celestials often comment on the flavour of a spoken language.
-**Celestial**
+**Draconic**\\ the language of the dragons and their kin. its said that most Arcane language has roots in this ancient tongue the building blocks of the spells commonly used today. Its only proper respect to address a Dragon in their native language.
-**Draconic**
+**Deep Speech**\\ An Odd Language that has no written medium. Its the closest thing mortal minds can comprehend to a language of the //Old Gods//, The outer horrors that exist in the space between spaces. The personified forces of what mortals consider existence. It is only really used by Cultists as well as [[culture:warlock|Warlocks]]. To speak it is otherwise harmful to both the ears that hear and the mouth that delivers the words of the incomprehensible.
