Customization Notes: The Virtuous Hound is one of those unusual magical creatures who can be found in Mythic Europe -- an intelligent, beast-shaped creature, with Magic Might and magical powers. He has been recruited as a covenfolk character in return for such as he values: plenty of food, warmth and comfort, and to be praised for his faithful service. He has learnt some new skills since joining the covenant, primarily Area Lore and begging-by-cuteness. The Virtuous Hound is based on the bloodhound in The Book of Mundane Beasts, with species Virtues of Long-Winded and Sharp Ears, and a species Flaw of Reckless. Other breeds or species can be substituted for the bloodhound.

Fluency in a particular living language. Rather than a die roll modifier, your score in this Knowledge measures your ability to communicate.
Score | Fluency | Description |
0 | Point and grunt | With one or more experience points, you know “please”, ”thank you”, and a few other words. |
1 | Basic questions and answers | “Where is the church?,” “Do you sell food?” Constant mistakes, and an atrocious accent. People must speak slowly and often repeat themselves, and you cannot string a conversation together. |
2 | Basic conversation | You can sustain a short conversation on a common topic. You still make many mistakes, and often fail to catch what others say. |
3 | Haltingly functional | You can hold a conversation on everyday topics, although it takes time, you make many mistakes, and your accent is still bad. |
4 | Functional | You can hold a conversation on non-technical topics, and make few mistakes. People do not normally need to repeat themselves. This is the minimum level required to study from a book. |
5 | Fluent | You still have an accent if this is not your native language, but it is weak. You speak as well as most natives. This is the minimum level required to write a book. |
6 | Elegant | You choose your words well, and have no accent if this is not your native language. |
Two dialects of the same language generally have a –1 penalty. If your character is not specialized in a dialect, you should specify a dialect without specializing in it, and take the penalty when conversing with people who speak a different dialect. If you speak a \"standard\" version of the language, that is a dialect that differs from all other dialects.
When two people speak to each other, the lower Ability score determines how well they communicate. Characters who speak related languages can communicate at a penalty to their scores (assigned by the storyguide) depending on how closely related the two languages are.
Note that Latin and Hebrew are not living languages in most of Mythic Europe. However, characters who live in places where they are (such as some covenants) may learn this Ability without any special Virtues.
Characters with this Ability are illiterate unless they also have a score in Artes Liberales (page 62).
This Ability also covers artistic compositions in the language, and telling existing tales with verve and passion. Knowledge of stories is covered by the appropriate Lore Abilities.
Specialties: poetry, prose, specific dialects, expansive vocabulary, specific technical vocabulary, slang, storytelling. (General)
