==Additional Information==<br />
===Behind the Scenes===<br />
At one point in GemStone history, languages were changed by using the race name or by the word guild. As an example, if a half-elf wished to speak half-elven, they would simply have typed ''halfelf''. <br />
<br />
When the method used to change languages was implemented, half-elf as a language was deprecated. Half-elves now speak common and elven.</div>imported>GS4-XERAPHINA
