You open the musty tome. The handwritten letters are faded and in places nearly worn out. The ancient book is written in Kyrjan, the language of Valkyrja and a wider area.
Lidd'ib, the language of the slaves, is a complex and fairly useless language. However, if you wish to "negotiate" the arrival of more slaves from their native land, learning the language is a must. They hate foreigners and will kill you if you have a Kyrjan accent. Their alphabet, a useless set of complex symbols, will be discarded in favour of a simpler alphabet to aid Kyrjan learners.
