We are all prisoners at one time or another in our lives, prisoners to ourselves or to the expectations of those around us. It is a burden that all people endure, that all people despise, and that few people ever learn to escape. -D.D. "Exile"
Spirit. It cannot be broken and it cannot be stolen away. A victim in the throes of despair might feel otherwise, and certainly the victim's "master" would like to believe it so. But in truth, the spirit remains, sometimes buried but never fully removed.
The physcial powers of the body cannot be separated from the rationale of the mind and the emotions of the heart. They are one and the same, a compolation of a singular being. t is in the harmony of these three-body,min
How many tyrants have tried? How many rulers have sought to reduce their subjects to simple, unthinking instuments of profit and gain? They steal the loves, the religions of their people, they seek to steal the Spirit.
Ultimately adn inevitable, they fail. This I must believe. If the flame of the spirit's candle is extinguished, there is only death, and the tyrant finds no gain in a kingdom littered with corpses.
But it is a resilient thing, this flame of spirit, indomitable and ever-striving. In some, at least, it will survive, to the tyrant's demise.
Spirit. In every language...in every time and every place the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience, and the poor man's armor. It cannot be broken, and it cannot be taken away. -D.D. "Exile"
Does anything in all the world force a heavier weight upon one's shoulders than guilt?
Guilt resembles a sword with tow edges. On the one hand, it cuts for justice, imposing practical morality upon those who fear it. Guilt, the consequence of conscience, is what separates the goodly persons from the evil.
But there is another side to the weighted emotion. Conscience does not always adhere to rational judgment.
Guilt is always a self-imposed burden, but is not always rightly imposed. -D.D. "Sojourn"
Life is a balance. We tend to forget that as we go blithely from day to day. We eat and drink adn sleep adn assume that we will always rise up the next day, that meals and rest will always replenish us. Injuries we expect to heal, and pain to lessen as time goes by. Even when we are faced with wounds that heal more slowly, with pain that lessens by day only to return in full force at nightfall, even when sleep does not leave us rested, we still expect that somehow tomorrow all will come back into balance and that we will go on. At some point, the exquisite balance has tipped, and despite all our flailing efforts, we begin the slow fall from the body that maintains itself to the body that struggles, nails clawing, to cing to, what it used to be.
So many people , it seems , stick themselves into the same routines, going through each day's rituals with almost religious precision.
They become creatures of simple habit. Part of that is the comfort afforded by familiarity, but there is another aspect to it, a deep rooted belief that as long as they keep everything the same, everything will remain the same. Such rituals are a way to control thte world around them,but in truth, they cannot. For even if they follow the exact routine day after day, death will surely find them. D.D.
Courage.
In any language, the work has a special ring to it, as much, I suspect, from the reverent way in which it is spoken as from the actual sounds of the letters. Courage. THe word evokes images of great deeds and great character; the grimset of the faces of men defending their town's walls...;the resilience of a mother caring for young children when all the world has seemingly turned hostile.
Courageous people do not surrender hope.

To use these languages, other than Common which is the language assumed to be used, type (XX) in front of what your character says to show which language they are speaking. Ex: (E) I like speaking in Elvish as it's such a beautiful language.
Another form of speech, is mental speech. This is indicated by using ~~ before and after the thought that is sent out mentally. If you do not state a specific name before it, (or TPO for To Party Only on a quest,) then all with in distance can hear it. Only magical races have this ability to speak, but all can hear.
For good role playing most players have an explanation of how their characters came to learn these skills, which often is something they began learning or saw in quests.
