Talk:Heron

I organized the article and changed a few basic mistakes. I seperated general lore that applies to herons from specific gameplay details, under the header, "Heron Units." Firstly, "Herons," are a species, just as hawk and raven laguz are. Therefore, you do not capitalize the first letter of the word unless it at the start of a sentence, the beginning of a quote, etc. An exception to this rule, however, is applied when you are referring to the Heron Tribe, a nation, as nations are capitalized.

Another issue was galdr. For one, it was referred to as "Galdr," the singular tense, despite numerous occasions where it should have been referenced in its plural form, galdrar, which wasn't used once in the whole article. For those who do not know, galdr was an actual practice in history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galdr. It is, more or less, a (suppoesdly) mystical incantation that is sung. It does not have any sort of special property where it is immune to being used in its plural form merely because it is used in the game as a skillset for the pretty white birds we see in FE9 and FE10, especially considering there are multiple instances where they refer to galdrar as well, galdrar.

A notable example was the start of a later paragraph which said, "the more Galdr spells they will have." For one, galdrar is implied to be a spell or incantration to be sung, so that is akin to saying, "The more access to singing spell spells they will have." It is redundant. Also, the plural usage should have been applied, which is why I changed it to, "The higher level a heron is, the more galdrar they will have access to."

Also, it was captalized in every instanced used, which is also incorrect. To say "He sung a Galdr," is like saying, "He sung a Song." You do not captalize "Song," except for regular rules that apply to most words, such as it being at the start of a sentence, or alternatively, if it is in the title of something, such as "A Song for my Love." This also applies to the word Galdr, which is why I left things like "The Galdr of Rebirth," alone, as that is the title of an actual song sung by Reyson and Leanne.
