Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Years of intermingling between races has left Eastern Common as the most widely-used language among the Ryūjin people, although their traditional vernacular is Ryūhongo. Many speak Draconic as a result of the Ryūjin people's close relationship with the metallic draconbloods of Ryūshima.
