====The Ubiquity==== All the Confederation of Iltegu citizenry speak a strange language that anyone can understand. It's referred to as the "ubiquity" and after just a few minutes of listening, even outsiders are capable of speaking it. After just about 30 minutes of listening, one will know it completely, however without any constant immersion, it's also very easy to forget it. Each species within the confederation do have their own localized languages, but unlike them, the ubiquity is also unique in that it's devoid of any dialects or accents. The only creatures that can't speak it are those who aren't capable of any spoken language at all. Yet another bizarre aspect of the ubiquity is that it lacks any written form, rather certain people known as Yfestrani are responsible for remembering information within the ubiquity and reciting it upon command. The only written texts within the federation are those transcribed in any of the localized languages. As a result, many residents might even hold at least 2-3 different translations of the same text within their home. The Language was arguably the most significant gift of the Iltegu before they disappeared, allowing for the Confederation to have lasted for so long.<ref>Cook, Monte, et al. βThe Gloaming.β Into the Night, Monte Cook Games, LLP, 2018, pp. 123.
