Seasoned Roamer Rugila Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I have been wondering about the nicknames the varying denizen's of Avernum call eachother. It is really racist if you.. Call a bunch of nephilim/nephar kitties? How about if you refer to slithzerikai as lizards? I mean, they are like lizard's but in a way they aren't because they can understand common language and are able to use magic so is it really wrong to say a slithzerikai is a lizard or should they be referred as slithzerikai as their own species? Does being a savage or friendly slith make a difference? Then there are those savage slitzerikai, there is this chief of savage slithzerikai in their secret hideout were they keep a stolen artifact from the friendly slithzerikai. This chief calls one of the fire lizards ''Little burny.'' Haha, i laughed first when i heard him call a fire lizard ''Little burny'' But might that be appropriate?

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 http://encyclopedia....i/Hate_language i know at least some of these are used ingame but are they all? the EE kinda makes things up sometimes also there's at least one term used ingame that's not on the list: nepharim really seem to hate being called "mules" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yes it is (speciesist not racist since I doubt that Nephilim, Sliths and Humans can interbreed with each other), and quite realistic especially considering that at the time of E1/A1/A:EFTP the three species are at war with each other.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I believe those are actually all used in-game, yes. When in doubt, for EE, look at the edit history. Any edits from back in 2006 when Aran and I were actively editing are either strictly in-game, or should have a prominent label at the top saying what the source is. Most of the recent edits are from Millytal, who seems to be cleaving entirely to in-game content, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
