Polearms! 
The knowledge on polearms, even just their names, is rather muddled for a few reasons. They were easy to make compared to most weapons, and so there was A) a huge amount of variation, B) not a lot of recording going on, and C) creation across language borders. Further obfuscation comes from Victorian scholars, who didn’t bother properly translating foreign texts and used very different names as if they were interchangeable.

I love weapon references.

Writing Capital: First evidence that birds tweet using grammar, by Andy Coghlan

linguismstics:

writingcapital:

They may not have verbs, nouns or past participles, but birds challenge the notion that humans alone have evolved grammatical rules.

Bengal finches have their own versions of such rules – known as syntax – says Kentaro Abe of Kyoto University, Japan. “Songbirds have a spontaneous ability to…

This really highlights how beneficial it can be to study non-human species for refining our notion of what human language is. Formal Language Theory is a useful framework for comparing the types of grammar that exist in nature and makes you think in much greater depth how human grammar is similar or different from non-human grammars.

A quick sketch of the ever-so-mysterious NPC who goes by Karreo and is currently playing a role in the Perfect Glory campaign. What kind of role, you ask? A mysterious one, of course.

Perhaps one day I’ll get an actual reference done for him and all the other crucial NPCs that desperately need one.…Yes. One day.
