oh ye Gods Eol -- so THAT's why the Dwarf in my WIP is dropping the occasional "aye" and using his own peculiar dialect (words like "mayhaps" for perhaps/maybe and "afore" for before)

And on the way to the City, he even passed a flask of strong spirits around in a "Dwarven display of comradeship"...

Uff da. Mayhaps i ought to work a brogue into his lines and revise his garb to make his armor accessorize with a nice dress tartan. (but i thought the Dunland folks wore plaid?)

|_|) <-- pass that flask!

s.t.
