Default Re: Banestormed Academics

I don't have Banestorm on me at the moment, but it seems like, if you desired, you could say that:

1) practically nobody from the Danelaw got transported.
2) the Curia and Megalos, as unifying forces for the early Christian world, exerted much more Latin influence than was experienced by the English, so far away from Rome, before around 1400.
3) while not a majority, there were enough Francophones who got transported to Yrth to impact the language, since the Banestorm picked from all over Europe and not just the British Isles.
4) Aratrerre, being technologically slightly more advanced and the prize territory of Megalos, exerted a surprising influence on Megalan high society. (the Emperor's children and all the fashionable nobles like to imitate their styles.)

Seems to me that this set of circumstances could just plausibly enough mimic the development of English to parallel events like the Great Vowel Shift.
