Ananke is a land of many languages from many root tongues, a world separated by physical and diplomatic boundaries. With this have come an assortment of languages that confound and hamper communications.
All Characters from Ananke start with Ananke Common, or "Common" for short: this is a universal tongue known by a large percentage of the populace, and anytime you are speaking ingame you are assumed to be speaking Common. You may Speak, Read, and Write in this language.
Additionally, most races start with a Racial Language for free. This and any other language other than common is utilized by holding your hand in one of a number of positions shown below. ((They will be shown once we find a good time to take pictures. Sorry!))
