Languages

Most characters seem to speak a common language, which is rendered as English but is called "Clentian", presumably from the same linguistic root as "Arclent". It is apparently well-known by most groups and nations. However, other languages do exist. Untranslated words are marked in the text with a different color, and the same colors are used to mark conversations entirely in other languages even when the displayed text is in English/Clentian.

Elven
Text in the Elven language is marked in. You first encounter it when the party comes across a pair of elves in Delgar Forest. Aka knows a bit due to her bounty hunter experience, and when you are able to spend longer time in the elven kingdoms she uses the occasion to practice her skills.

 * Exclamation uttered by one of the Delgar Forest elves after spotting Altina among humans, in human gear. It might be a generic expression of (unpleasant?) surprise, but the elf calls her an "apostate" in the very next sentence, so the meaning of the expression might be related to the accusation.

The meanings of the elf kingdoms' names are not obvious even to native speakers, as the forms are archaic, but the roots are known to scholars: Darghelon and Gheldaron are respectively "Land of Green Deep Forests" and "Land of Deep Green Forests", and Orilise assumes that Ghenalon means "Kingdom of Deep Roots".

In the Dark Ruin you can find a text that Yarra says is written in "an ancient succubus language." She's able to read some of it.

The line "KHADASAVA NHETI" in the Incubus Ruins in Zirantia is rendered in yellow, corresponding to no established language. The party speculates it means something like "Offering accepted."
