Trait: Glossolalia

You constantly speak in a language that mixes all known (and unknown) forms of speech, and your writing at a glance seems to be gibberish. Despite this, your speech and writing are comprehensible by any creature that can understand a language. In addition, you can understand and read any language.
An ancient sage and the first god of the written word, Lexicon grants his binders a variety of spells and mastery over the written and spoken word.

Legend 

Before Lexicon, all knowledge could be passed only by speech and example through the generations. Man’s oral traditions were rich but fragile, for a single death from a common disease could wipe away untold generations of understanding. And so, a wise sage known as Lexicon, gathered the Words of Creation scattered by K’Sir and devised the means to record information and spare it from oblivion: The Written Word. With a few strokes of charred ash, Lexicon recorded the very first word known to man “Un”—which in that time and tongue would come to mean “me,” or “I am”.   By naming things, and writing them in certain ways, The Written Word allowed Lexicon to make permanent things that were fleeting and to establish definitive truth. In this way, Lexicon also becomes the first spellcaster. With his great boon of writing and his power over arcana, Lexicon ascended to godhood to take his place among the primordial deities. In time, however, his tale was replaced by apocryphal ones, and was eventually forgotten entirely. Men today believe that writing has always been with them and that spellcasters have always practiced their art. Therefore, Lexicon’s vestige is like his legacy, faded nearly to nonexistence, with an outline of ink and the vague impression of written symbols within.

Personality Trait

While bound to this vestige, you gain the following personality trait: “I obsessively write down and record new information.”
