    Yeah, I was doomed from my second roll, as I feared with my first. My only hopes is that a critical helps things.
    I like Lyradis, but you know... I also like winning.

    In any case, you did better than Orin, so that's something.

    Yeah... I tried, but the results were so terrible I decided not to insult every living Jamaican.
    Alternatively, it would be safe, and indeed logical, to assume that they have their own language in addition to the common tongue which is likely only spoken by learned individuals such as The Wise and priests, etc., and even then only when talking to foreigners. As for why their native tongue bears similarities to a Jamaican accent, I have no idea.

    Of course they're not trolls. I'm too lazy to write fluff for a fantasy race.

    Except, with the jurisdictional issues that keep popping up in countries that have been united as one for centuries (looking at you America), I don't think that would work out. Technically, we can already build things in and for other countries, we just need to ask permission, and I think people should continue to have to ask permission, even if they're federated.
