This race of aquatic humanoids are fast swimmers and have slippery skin instead of scales . History . Shalarin originally come from the Sea of Corynactis but , in an effort to gain divine power , the demon lord Dagon opened the " Wildtide Portal " that swept up a large number of shalarin from their home and deposited them in the Sea of Fallen Stars . Having already managed to restrict the shalarin pantheon ' s influence to the Corynactis , he hoped to destroy the contingent in the inner sea by having those loyal to him attack them . He didn ' t count on the merfolk intervening though and together , the merfolk and the surviving 30 % of the shalarin defeated Dagon ' s forces . The shalarin found a new god to replace the old ones whom they could no longer hear and Dagon ' s plan was foiled . The " Wildtide Portal " continued to open every 720 years however , and each time a new load of shalarin were swept into the inner sea . This continued until the fifth ' Shalarin Passing ' during which , the " Wildtide Portal " didn ' t close , creating a permanent link between the Sea of Fallen Stars and the Sea of Corynactis .

Weapons . Tridents are used a lot by shalarin but their most common weapon is magic . The shalarin people can also use mind control over some aquatic animals but this may be due to the serving of a certain deity . Religion .

Though some of the shalarin worship Umberlee unwillingly , their main deity is Trishina or known to them as Ri ' da ' trisha .

Common Common was the trade language of Faerûn . Almost every sentient , civilized being spoke a smattering of it , and most were fluent . While most could not read or write the language , generally , the people of Faerûn were able to converse with each other in this language . Description . Common was little more than a trade language ; that is , it was not useful for complicated topics . It was simple and not very expressive as a language . Speakers . Nearly everyone on the surface of Faerûn spoke Common as a second language , including non - human s . Those in remote areas spoke it badly , but most could get by . Dialects . Dialects varied from region to region , but generally , communication was possible . Calant was a melodious dialect spoken on the Sword Coast , while Kouroo was a Chult an variant , and Skaevrym was spoken in Sossal , but there were literally thousands of other local dialects . The Common spoken throughout Faerûn was properly called Thorasta by linguists and peoples from other continents , such as Zakhara . The purest version of Thorasta was spoken mainly in the Western Heartlands , from Way Inn in the north to Beregost in the south , and from Baldur ' s Gate in the west to Hill ' s Edge in the east . In other realms , " Common " could be altogether different ; these were not in fact dialects but different languages . An example was in the Underdark , as the residents there spoke what was known as Undercommon . Inhabitants of different planes also speak different forms of " Common " . Limitations and Advantages . The obvious advantage to Common was that practically every sentient creature could speak it . Even in remote areas of Faerûn like Murghôm , Samarach , and the Great Glacier , the inhabitants could speak at least enough of it to make themselves understood with a little creative pantomiming . Admittedly , regional accents had a tendency to confuse the issue ; natives of distant areas sometimes regarded each others ' accents as strange or silly , but they could still understand each other . However , it also had its disadvantages : not every concept could be easily related to others . Nuances of speech , names , and phrases could be expressed easier in older languages such as Illuskan and Dwarven . Script . Common used the Thorass alphabet . Elves sometimes wrote Common in Espruar . History . According to Faerûnian linguists , Common developed directly from Thorass , or " Old Common " , which was itself a pidgin variant of the Jhaamdathan language ( " Old Chondathan " ) and Alzhedo . Among living languages , Common was most closely related to Chondathan . Common was grouped with the Central Thorass languages in the Thorass language group .
