I suppose this would be a good spot to post something like this as I don't like starting new threads for some reason. Since it has been stated that Roegadyn names are influenced by an old version of the Germanic language (a lore team in Germany actually helped write up the Roegadyns) and this is one of the few races we actually have with a few translated words (their names) do you think that for the most part their language might have been Germanic as well?Â
I ask this because I have been playing my Roegadyn as someone who still speaks and understands the native language (having a large influence from her traditional grandfather). Though it's not like she would have full blown conversations with people, she just sometimes blurts out Germanic phrases; like calling people idiots in German. Do you think this is bending the lore too much and I should just drop it?
And to add to your lore thing Syggfryd. The wiki states that the Hellsguard lived by a volcano which they guarded the gates to believing it was some kind of gate to the underworld. They stand guard there making sure the souls of the dead don't return back to the land of the living. Sea Wolves were island dwellers and Hellsguards were mountain people ^^.Â
12:08 is when he starts talking about the Roegadyn stuff with I think somewhere around 11 minutes he will pronounce Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn's name and a few others

And this guy on youtube does a pretty good job with summing up Roegadyn lore ^^.
