==A NOTE ON LANGUAGES AND NAMING== I have chosen to use particular current Earth languages to represent the languages spoken in the World. For Speech, the language of the People, it is English. For Niarchic, it is Dutch. For the Valongo it is Portuguese. I've chosen these not because they actually speak those languages, but because those languages have roughly the same relationship with English that their game equivalents have with Speech, and also have roughly the same feel of "exoticness" compared to English. Therefore, when naming, the People's names should be English words or phrases, but NOT English names, and not pseudo-fantasy names like Gandalf or Elric or Kipsarnicach or something. This is because when the People say their names, they would hear its literal meaning, and I want the PLAYERS to have the same feeling that their CHARACTERS would have. Things named and spoken in Speech should be familiar immediately, without translation. Things named and spoken in Niarchic or Valongon should feel foreign and require translation. Example: for historical accuracy, the Native American that beat up Custer's troops at Little Big Horn is Tatanka Iyotanka. But whenever Tatanka Iyotanka's wife called out for him to come in to dinner, the other Sioux in hearing range would have "heard" Sitting Bull, the literal meaning of his name. So please keep things like Night Hawk, Thunder's Rumble, etc.
