Verb:READ

To READ is to discern information from a standardized set of letters or pictographs. Just like in the real world, different languages will have different sets of letters/pictures, and a character may not be able to read every language. For example, non-elves in Elven Nations will not be able to read the signs. Except for scrolls, characters do not need to learn how to read; to read scrolls, one must train in Arcane Symbols.

Rare items do exist to allow a character to read a foreign language, often in the form of spectacles.
