Editing Trinity:Languages (section)

==Common==
Common is just that; common. However, due to effects in the history of Trinity, there are three varieties of this language. Of these, only Eastern and Western are vaguely related; Ganymede Common has nothing in common with the other two. The Common languages are usually based heavily upon at least one Trade language, and possibly a regional language; this is due to the fact that they were developed last, after intercontinental travel had been established.

Communication in Common languages is difficult, as they simply lack the vocabulary for most communication. As such, any checks involving interpersonal communication (Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Gather Information, Mimic Voice, Perform [act, comedy, oratory, sing], and Sense Motive) with which the user is speaking in or attempting to understand a Common language suffer a -4 circumstance penalty.

===Common, Eastern===
This language is spoken by almost every intelligent being in the northern and eastern continents of Adnez. It is not necessarily simple, either, despite the fact that it is spoken by a wide variety of races. Eastern Common is loosely based on Ancient Common and strongly based on the Northlander Trade and Thunder Trade languages.

Eastern Common uses the Ancient Common script.

===Common, Western===
This language is spoken by almost every intelligent being in the western and southern continents of Adnez. Unlike it's cousin, the Eastern Common, Western Common is fairly simplistic, and trade languages may be used in its place to relay more complex concepts. It is strongly based on Tipan and the Western Trade languages.

Western Common uses the Tipan script.

===Common, Ganymede===
This language is used by the majority of the inhabitants of Ganymede. It is an incredibly simplistic language, useful for conveying only the most basic of concepts. While it has grown more complex as the races of Ganymede have come together, it is slowly turning into a dead language due to the prevalence of those who speak Eastern Common on Ganymede.

Ganymede Common uses the Ganymede script.
