	** On Kishar, languages are much more regional than racial - there is no expectation that an [[elf]] in the Three Great Seas and an elf in the Stormlands, oceans apart, will understand the same language. Languages exist mostly for flavor and as a worldbuilding tool. If you want to pick up one or more of these then that's great, I'll do my best to make it worth it, but I don't expect it. I'd tell you in advance if anything other than Common was going to be necessary.		** On Kishar, languages are much more regional than racial - there is no expectation that an [[elf]] in the Three Great Seas and an elf in the Stormlands, oceans apart, will understand the same language.
