1) 15 int is "average" according to the code. While most adventurers are smarter than this, its because they represent the cream of Thera's crop- the people who were accepted into guilds, and had the drive and ambition to make their fortune that way, and not by farming or sweeping floors or something. I should certainly hope that the "average" person, even in a pre-literate age (maybe not... Thera has lots of public signs posted...) could speak the language without mangling words.
2) Ragers with dopey accents are the current equivalent of "mages killed my parents".
3) The accent disappears real fast when they need to tell their groupmates to help them or something. =)
