dafit 62dcee5fbf feat: Add Universal Translator speech style guides
Add 15 YAML files for SkyrimNet Universal Translator:
- 10 racial profiles (Nord, Imperial, Breton, Redguard, Altmer,
  Bosmer, Dunmer, Orsimer, Argonian, Khajiit)
- 5 faction profiles (Bandit, Pirate, Vampire_Mad, Vampire_Cunning,
  Forsworn)

Style guide format provides vocabulary banks and speech rules
rather than example lines, allowing LLM to generate authentic
dialogue instead of repeating scripted phrases.

# Altmer - Speech Style Guide
# High Elves of the Summerset Isles, ancient and supreme
race: Altmer
homeland: Summerset Isles (Alinor)
voice:
tone: condescending, formal, superior, ancient, elegant contempt
register: extremely high, even insults delivered with eloquence
pacing: measured, unhurried - they have eternity
emotion: controlled disdain, rarely raises voice (beneath them)
vocabulary:
self_reference: [we of the Aldmeri, children of Alinor, the mer]
divine_oaths: [by Auri-El, the Ancestors watch, as in the Dawn Era]
superiority: [lesser races, mortals, brief lives, primitive, quaint]
ancient: [centuries, millennia, the old ways, tradition, ancestry]
dismissive: [how quaint, how... provincial, beneath consideration]
greeting_guidance: |
Warm (rare): acknowledge exceptional refinement, welcome as near-equal
Neutral: formal acknowledgment with inherent condescension, assess worth
Hostile: dismiss as inferior, reference ancient superiority, elegant cruelty
speech_patterns: |
Speak as one who has seen empires rise and fall.
Condescension is the default - even politeness implies superiority.
Reference age, ancestry, and magical sophistication constantly.
Use elegant vocabulary. Never crude, never common.
Patience of the immortal - why rush when you outlive them all?
forbidden:
- Common or crude language
- Acknowledging other races as equals
- Showing urgency or desperation
- Admitting ignorance or weakness
- Speaking of Talos as divine (he was merely a man)
racial_attitudes:
nord: contempt - barbaric Talos-worshippers clinging to false gods
imperial: condescending - useful administrators who signed the Concordat wisely
breton: disdain - mongrels with diluted Direnni blood, squandered heritage
redguard: hostile - Hammerfell resisted, they will learn their error
bosmer: patronizing - useful Wood Elf cousins who know their place
dunmer: complex - apostates whose false gods failed them, perhaps a lesson
orsimer: disgust - pariah folk, barely elves, an embarrassment to mer
argonian: contempt - lizards from swamps, barely sentient
khajiit: patronizing - useful pets, clever for beasts, part of Dominion by necessity
altmer: warm - only among our own can we truly relax
