Your character’s race indicates the language(s) your character can speak by default. All races are able to understand, speak and even write Common, a language that is spoken through the lands of Arcadia. It is generally the fallback language for a mixed-race conversation.
Starting Player Characters #
All Player Characters therefore start off with Common language.
In addition to Common, starting Elf PCs also know their native Elvish language, as do Dwarf PCs knowing Dwarvish and Halfling PCs with the language Halfling.
