When gamemastering,
I like to have the characters be very animative and dynamic. Part of giving
them a personality is to give them a particular way of speaking. I like
to give them an accent, according to what part of JERA that they are from.
Gamemasters vary with how talented that they are in impersonation and voice
manipulation, but the following may be a nice guide. Also, if in my short
stories or other places there is conversation, knowing what people sound
like from various areas may help you idendify where they come from. Basically,
mentally label this section "VERY optional".
