I joked about not asking about it in MFC, but really, it's going to come up. How protective would Anise be about teaching this language? Does nobody know it (and/or have written records of it) just because Elves have been gone for so long, or because they (or someone) made an effort to wipe it out? -Slitherrr

As far as that goes, the language doesn't actually say nobody on the Mainland knows it, only that it can only be gained through learning (excepting our two PC Elves). Are there records extant on the Mainland in Sidhe, and maybe even one or two non-native, academic Sidhe scholars who know the language? -Slitherrr
