Ok.
Sorry it took a few days but I finally swung by Willow Wood.
I Hailed Scribe Salinia Brooklily. She replied in heiroglyphs and I didn't understand a word
I bought her book Feir'Dal Language primer for 12s. "You have learned the basics of the Feir'Dal Language appeared at the top of the screen
I hailed her again and understood her every word. I am now off to slay some rats for her - instinctive for a Kerra anyway
Conclusion - She's a Wood Elf
