I am planning on making mods for this game, including additional items. I would like to for instance make some unique weapons/armors from one of the cannon empires/nations. I would really like to be able to name some of these weapons/armors with cannon/lore accurate words from say, Vailian or Aedyran languages.

 

The problem here is, while we have a vastly expanded set of cannon words this go around we know little about what would be considered cannon or lore friendly grammar of these languages. So writing say a book or description with any kind of extensive use of these languages (for enhanced lore purposes) is very difficult or impossible. We don't even really know the name of the Rautain language (and a few other prominent peoples) unless I missed something.

 

Any idea if or when you might be willing to share some extra lore with us? It would be helpful for modding purposes, especially if we are ever able to create quests or dialogue.

Any idea on this? I realize Obsidian doesn't respond to every request (especially on weekends) but just thought I'd bump to see if anyone cared to respond.

 

Or if anyone knows if this question has been answered please link me, I couldn't find any details about it or when we might get like a lore guide or something. What I'd really like (again this is for potential modding purposes) is some type of "extended universe" encyclopedia about details and languages related to the cultures that are unlikely to be mentioned directly in the games.

There's a section on languages in the official Pillars of Eternity guidebook (vol. II at least, I don't have vol. I). I'd share it, buy there's a good chance there may be some copyright shenanigans involved, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to.

Ah, well now I have an actual reason to buy it! Good to know.
