He grew up in a small village as a tiefling with a teacher that showed him how to fight etc. The languages I'm having trouble with are Infernal AND abyssal :)

On both these sides there was a fiendish general or the like whose bloodline was destined to bear a great leader in the war between the devils and the demons. Now this character is haunted in his dreams by demonic and devilish visions who speaks to him in their respective languages trying to bend him over to their side.

Trydan 08-18-03, 11:34 AM	Perhaps you have no idea where you learnt them. You just started speaking them one day. The village cleric thinks you've been possessed, the paladin in the nearby castle wants you executed, and the old aloof wizard in the ruined tower suddenly is trying to befriend you. Lots of possibilities there, and without really needing to explain the languages at all. It is just part of the mystery.

You were scared as a child, never told anyone. Sleep was never easy. After a time though, you got used to it. You never had more nightmares than anyone else. You just spoke and heard these strange languages. Perfect DM fodder for a plot hook. :angel:
