I have decided to include an old D&D favorite, the common tongue. In addition, most cultures have a language of their own. The Fantasy Craft rules say that each character begins with their native language, a study in their native culture or homeland, and 2 additional interests. I am modifying that slightly to say that each character begins with the common language, their native language, a study in their native culture, and 2 additional interests.

The languages that player characters acquire automatically depending on their origin are listed below.

1. Common: Originally developed by the elves to facilitate communication between elves and the other sylvan races on Perianth, they carried it to other worlds and it has become the language of trade between worlds. All PCs speak Common.
   

2. 
   

3. Dwarven: This is the native language of the dwarves. They did not develop a common language with the orcs of their world.
