Say your character is from Cheliax, so you select that as his Home Region. Shouldn't that character have access to all the languages in "Old Cheliax"? That's the impression I get from the Lost Omens Word Guide, anyway. Yet HLO says that a character whose home region is Cheliax cannot choose Shadowtongue, for example. You get this message: "Your background doesn't allow you to learn this language as a starting language."
If you choose it anyway, HLO accepts that and doesn't give you any more grief, so what's the point?
