Whoops, mild library use fumble on my part. Okay, reread my previous assertions as "Safelstran is a Western language, with a large influence from the Ralian Theyalan dialects."

Doubtless not. But as a "meta" term, it seems more generally descriptive. I don't really think (being or following) a rune is a more "everyday" concept than (being or following) a hero.

Leading to thorny questions such as: Is Illusion Reality?; and Is Illusion Caused By Belief?

RQII? What are you talking about? RuneQuest is now, has always been, and will always be in it's One True Only First Edition (Mint Condition, minimum bid 40 squid).
