Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan was the language of the fey. Its written form used the Espruar alphabet. Sylvan is often seen as the language of nature, as its speakers are often nature spirits and creatures. The language itself is fairly old, and has changed very little throughout the ages. It flows easily, similarly to elven; in fact many linguists believe that the elven language is derived from sylvan. Although it uses the elven script, the language is hardly ever written.
