− | + | The '''Dwarven language''' is one of the four [[language]]s the player will come across, besides [[Elvish language|Elvish]], [[Human language|Human]] and [[Goblin language|Goblin]]. This language is used in-game for the names of the universe, continents, rivers, dwarven governments and settlements, dwarves, artifacts and engravings. However, as of yet, it lacks everything necessary for proper conversation, like grammar or personal pronouns. | |
