Here's something funny and interesting, albeit not really important...
Do the Human lords swear? Like are they prone to swearing, and if so, how frequently or um...vulgar do they get? I'm under the impression it's not much or often if so because it's impolite and not very kind.
But maybe I'm wrong!
So. A thing that i had to look up was if there may have been a difference in "swearing" back then, and the short answer seems to be Yes. The usage of "vulgar" language was a bit less taboo, especially when its. Just the Name for the Thing (ex. Shit).
Seems "Medieval Swearing" was less about vulgar words and more about Swearing By God, and that wasnt taken lightly.
So as for "Vulgar Language", I'd imagine that its varying levels of usage, mostly based on preference and situation. Like, yes they can and have used those words before. But nothing too vulgar for the most part, nor that often. That last year alive, I can imagine Citrinitas and Rubedo uncharacteristically slipping into foul language more, due to the ambassador's influence on them. Snarling threats and salacious teasing.
None of them were the kind to have sworn God's name or such. Perhaps a bit at the end maybe.
Wakey Wakey: While in Containment, Nigredo is gonna have some explaining to do when he forgets himself and stubs his toe, and just blurts out "fUCkingGodDamnIt".
