Language on Sundering Shadows

The concept behind language on Sundering Shadows is to enhance the

RP of the game. I always pick on ogres, so why stop here, IE:

if I'm an ogre with a 5 intelligence how can I have an intelligent

conversation with a dwarf and elf and a human, non of whom know

ogrish? Languages affect all forms of inter-personal communication.

More than likely the debate concerning languages on public lines will

go on forever. If you have any knowledge of a language it will appear

in your <languages> command list. The number next to the language listing

is the proficiency with which you speak the language. IE I understand about

45% of the language (etc etc). The number in () is the progress toward a

greater understanding. IE I'm about 65% of the way to understanding this

new facet of the language.

Currently you receive languages by intelligence. Intelligence determines

how many you can learn. We are debating some kind of supplementing system.

For the moment you can only learn as many as your intelligence allows.

You learn languages from other folk who know the language well and have

the inclination to teach you. To teach someone you use the <teach> command.

To set what language you speak in use the <speak> command.
