Words of Power

[Ama]

<DIV>In EverQuest there are many different languages for every race.  There is Gnollish, Krombral, Draconic, Goblish, Gnomish, as well as a multitude of other languages.  However there is one thing that really intrigued me when I did a quest way back. That quest I speak of is the 3-4 part quest just before doing the "Serving A New Master."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While speaking to the Droag on the island he quickly hushes you saying *paraphrasing* "I dare not utter my masters name the words you use have great power of which you know nothing of."  So I must ask what does this droag mean by the draconic language I use has great power and does this power or different type of power extend to other languages?  A notable quest many remember is the Druzaic quest where you record the writtings off the shrines that appear around norrath.  Druzaic seems to be spoken by magically enchanted creatures so there must be an element of power behind that as well.</DIV>

<DIV>My guess by what he means by the draconic language being a powerful language is that certain spells and such can be spoken and used.. Spells that are litterally impossible to speak or say or cast or translate in any other language.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just one aspect...</DIV>

My guess is that this is influnced by the Dragonlance's and the other D&D realms' lore. Where dragons had their draconic name (which was their <b><i>true </i></b>name known only by a few of their kin) and the name they were known to the mortals. Knowing the true name of the dragon made you have an advantage over him.The Droag is not using the name for two reasons. First because his "master" is not really agreeable with the council of the dragons that believes deathtoll should be out of limit to all the dragons and second because he does not deem you worthy enough (for the moment) to know the name of his master (which of course you can guess pretty early if you pay attention to the dialog). But even if a dragon deemed a mortal worthy enough to speak to him, I doubt (at least from what I have read from all the rpgs I have played so far) that he will introduce himself with his true name.<div></div>

I would have to say my take on it when doing that quest was that to some degree, when the Draconic language is spoken, Dragons can feel/sence it. So don't ever try to sneak up on a dragon while talking in draconic.<div></div>
