:Epic Path has a HUGE number of languages, of every type and variety. But among those languages, a note must be made of the Secret Languages. | |||
: A Secret Language is not simply an obscure or rare language, or even a difficult language to learn. Secret Languages can be actual encoded cyphers, like Corhiwar, the battle language of the Dark Elves, which literally changes every time it is spoken or signalled. A Secret Language can be a highly slippery and fluid system of slang and innuendo, so situationally dependent that no word spoken ever means the same thing twice, such as Thieves Cant. | |||
: Some Secret Languages are inherently magical, like Druidic. If you do not have a connection to the Green, either through worship or...other means...you literally cannot gain meaning from this language, the sounds devoid of information without the magical connection to enrich them. Therien, the Language Of Lies, is another such 'magical' language, although much more dangerous than even Druidic. | |||
: Some languages exist as structural members of the Universe, actual Deific tools, such as Coept, Graxt, or Enuncia. Such languages are incredibly dangerous, so approach with caution! | |||
: And then there are the...other Secret Languages. Such are too dangerous to even refer too casually, and it is strongly urged that even the most adventurous avoid them. | |||
