The linguistic stuff in innworld is weird. If there is one universal in regards to languages on earth, its that they change over time, and not even that much time, a couple hundred years already makes a large difference and a few thousand years makes a language change drastically enough for it to not even make sense calling it the same language.
But for whatever reason sound changes and changes in the meaning of words just dont seem to happen at all in innworld if the spoken language has been the same for thousands or tens of thousands of years like has been stated.
This would require basically a fundamental change in how brains, ears and vocal tracts interact with language compared to earth, i’d guess something to do with the system doing weird stuff to people.
A linguistic landscape like you have in innworld, with a single language being spoken in the entire world, by distant and poorly connected communities would be inherently unstable on earth, after a few hundred years it would develop into very different and marked regional dialects and after a couple thousand years you’d just end up back with a number of regional languages. Although given how it was established that language change doesnt take place in innworld, it makes a lot of sense a single language would eventually become worldwide.
As for english being a earth to innworld or innworld to earth transfer, it would make a lot more sense for it to be a earth to innworld transfer, according to all linguistic knowledge we have, english is very much an earth language, with ancestors and early stages being traceable for about 6k years, as well as over a hundred related languages (all of the indo european language family, including hindi, russian, german, spanish, greek and a lot more, that we can confidently relate to modern english) the chance of it being an independent development in both worlds or being a innworld to earth transfer are essentially impossible. Although ig it could be technically possible there is some weird thing affecting the perception of earthlings and everyone they meet that autotranslates and makes them think they are speaking the same language.
As for things other than language, like chess, fantasy stories and whatnot it could be innworld to earth there isnt much to be sure of, just language is not like that.

I would say it’s actually pretty correct. Erin sympathizes with just about everyone, but that isn’t the same thing as having empathy for them.

Rather than empathy, Erin is more the type to force her morals onto other people. After which she is friendly to them because they “agree” with her own moral viewpoint. This tends to work out positively much of the time, because she has a decent set of morals (though certainly not perfect).

The Elusive Lot went after only the highest ranking members they could locate. Essentially, these would be the people that started the spread of the scam the most, and thus the ones that ended up hurting the most people. At least some of these people are probably going to be the rich and powerful ones that have seen through the scam, and still perpetrated it because they we’re the ones making the most money. When it fails, they would be the ones that would end up coming out of it in okay shape, with little to no consequences normally.

While some of their targets would certainly be innocent of that, ignorance doesn’t make them less guilty. They still caused hundreds or thousands of gold in damages to people. Them being victims themselves would be a poor excuse for the ones at the bottom of the pyramid.

I really don’t get why everyone assumes that things came from Earth to Innworld. To me, it seems far, far more likely that things were brought to Earth from Innworld, at least in the majority. There would be some stuff brought back to Innworld, but far less in comparison.

Time has been shown to flow much faster on Earth than on Innworld, about 4x as fast, based on how long some Earthers had been around on Innworld compared to when they were pulled off Earth. This would make many of the commonalities between worlds (such as chess) only be around for between a few hundred years to maybe a thousand years. Nearly everything we’ve seen has been around on Earth much longer than that.

A few hundred years is far, far too short of a time for people to, say, completely and utterly forget a game such as chess. Innworld has better historical records than we do on Earth for anything beyond the last few hundred years. And even on Earth, we have records of games and such that are thousands of years old. Even if those records are few and incomplete, they still exist, and lots of people know about them.

However, if things were brought to Earth, by way of beings that can cross worlds naturally such as the fae, things would make infinitely more sense. Someone comes to Earth at the start of the Creler Wars (~6,000 years ago on Innworld) and introduces chess – which, with the time dilation, is effectively 1,500 years ago, right around the time the game was “created” on Earth.

Someone brings over English, and it gets corrupted by the dozens of other languages spoken on Earth. Then, over hundreds of years of it being brought over in bits and pieces, it starts to slowly revert back to “modern” English. At the same time, snippets of other non-English words are brought to Innworld, which is why we see the occasional bit of French or Latin or whatnot.

Thinking about it in this way resolves every instance of crossover that I’ve seen so far, as far as I can remember.

Gnolls don’t focus on his bad looks, that’s all.
