I want them to make an implant the same way there's a birth control implant!
(in my rheoridin there's medicinal tattoos, so basically kinda ambiguously maybe magic maybe implant)

We live in a culture that is very taxonomic, that sees significance in naming things as distinct things that have a distinct meaning that can be elaborated in an encyclopedia, but it need not always be so. Words are secondary to communication. They're lived in, sometimes messily or haphazardly.

#worldbuilding Language that isn't intentionally controlled by a centralized authority is rarely so uniform. On the other hand, there are also a plethora of examples of language being controlled in such a way on the level of the state (me looking directly at France).

My favorite example in my own work is a place that is just called "the high shore" in its own language, yet whether or not it gets translated or simply called the untranslated native word varies. I love just "the black country" in England and like the multitude of names for Germany as examples.

Ah I more meant to share it because it was interesting not as advice. I don’t have anything like “common” in my settings either mostly bc I don’t want to tie what I’m doing to dnd in any way.

It was literally just called “the common dialect”. Anyway look it up it’s interesting

A language called “common” did actually exist in real life. Koine (which just means “common”) a kind of Greek, spoken throughout the later Roman Empire. I always assumed that historical fact that were the dnd nerds got it bc don’t underestimate nerds

You don’t know what you’ve done making him so cute
