The Hag language, widely referred to as Annis[1][2] by scholars across multiple Prime Material worlds,[1] was a shared language among hags.[1][2] Its alternative name stemmed from a belief that it had first originated among annis hags before becoming widely adopted by the other hag subraces.[1]

History[]

Some scholars believed that hags were descended from ogres,[7] or at the very least that annis hags and ogre mages were somehow related.[8] As a consequence, it was believed by some scholars that Annis was an offshoot of Ogrish and that those knowledge in the latter could potentially understand bits and pieces of conversations conducted in Annis.[1]
