Languages of Chalice World

Trade Tongue

The Trade Tongue was created to be easily spoken by most of the humanoid races and has an emphasis on measurements and value. When making a transaction it is the preferred language by merchants and if someone is unable to use it they are at -1 on Reaction rolls when dealing with professional merchants. It is also the preferred contract language.

Draconic

The language of the dragons, it uses gestures and body movements, including the tail as much as it does the voice. Few other races can speak it, even at the Broken level.

High Fae

This is the language of the Fae Court and nobility. When dealing with fae nobility it is the default language and they can be very snooty about it. It is based on Low Fae, with similar characteristics but has much more specifity and absolutes. Fae often use nuance and roundabout language to avoid commitments and while the language allows this their are ways to push for specifics. An important trait when making deals.

Low Fae

This is the standard language of the fae and its melodic and descriptive with lots of nuance and room for ambiguous statements. For almost everything there is a fast way and a long way to say something, but as the fae love to talk and gossip the long way is more often used.
