Most folk on the planet of Kaendor speak their native racial tongue as
well as Common Kaendoran (which very much resembles real-world English).
Nearly all cultures raise their children to speak both languages. Many
are fluent in other languages as well, but only the spellcasters,
the scholars, and a few select others are well versed in Ancient Kaendoran
- the language of the old world before the Great Ball of KaendFire devastated
it.
It just so happens, however, that Worlde of Legends™ has been able to procure
an ancient Kaendoran tome that can be no other than the first dictionary
of Kaendor. It was found deep underground, preserved by majik, and layered
with dust in the tomb of the renowned Ancient Kaendoran scholar, Lotaer
Voránodýn.
It was trapped with spells and took every ounce of wit and intelligence
and majikal skill we could muster to be able to open it safely. A few shocked
fingers and singed hairs later, it was done. The Kaendoran Lexicon was
ours! The old tome was very fragile, so we immediately set to work on generating
a copy. Now, as the brittle pages of the original book begin to crumble
at the edges, we proudly present unto you the spoils of our treasured find.
