Common Imperial
A tongue originating from the Keratos Empire. Specifically invented to be learned easily by newly conquered nations. It was forcibly taught to the populations as per the Empire's mandatory schooling system. Shortly after the Eternal Conquest lost its momentum and the Empire receeded all the way to its original borders, many realms decided to keep the tongue because the dwarven merchants (and their finances) employed it daily. There was also the push from many many mercenaries from various races still using it to find a job after the Conquest stopped recruiting. It is a tongue commonly spoken in Arbeka (though not the official language), in the Feral Isles, in some Easternite Marquisates, in the Van Demon Republic (a splinter from an Imperial civil war) as well as within the Empire itself.
