Language Application Change + Further Url Expansion

Small small changes:

• https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Url#Url_Physiology

Changes:

• Previously, languages was a rule of "One per 10 years of character age + 1 language for every 6 points invested in Linguistics". This was a silly rule, because it allowed most elves to know 10 languages. There was no clear rules against language based sueism, so we had to change the rules.
  • Now, languages are dictated by parents. The culturally dominant language of the mother and father are inherited, and common as a language comes free on top. For every additional language, 6 points in Linguistics is required.
  • If both parents have the same culture, only one language is learned (plus common). This is intentional, because cultural purity is a roleplay benefit.
• Url have been given the Wildland Url variety with varieties:
  • Dire Wolf
  • Woolly Rhino
  • Ground Sloth
  • Ancylotherium
  • Horse

We are NOT doing a mass re-review for language rule changes. These will simply be "from here on out" and any future app that gets re-reviewed will have the new rules applied.

What does this mean for Yanar? Since they only need one parent but a Yanar can be raised by two. Does it just depend on each individual then?

A Yanar has a single parent unless they were strictly raised by a father and mother figure. So most of them would have only one language.

Do Kathar who grew up on the Shadow Isle or within the Dread Empire get She'llaq and Modern Elven since both are prominent and She'llaq isn't used for conversing?

What if your character was forced into a situation where they had to learn another language atop of their cultural one.
(My Qadir was held as a slave for/forced to be around Songaskia for eight/nine years of her life, though this was after being raised by her Qadir parents for eight years).

Discuss this with your character app reviewer.

What if we have a half race character? Would it be possible that half races can have partial knowledge on the cultural language of both parents?

Nope. You have to pick one or the other.
