Silvertongue

You know what is happening. Silvertongue knows how to say it.

Click a target, pick Praise, read the line, click Say. Three seconds, and your character said something in character instead of nice heals bro.

Around 1,600 handwritten lines. No generator, no AI, no templates stitched together — somebody wrote all of them, and they adapt to who you are and who you are talking to.

The one rule

Nothing reaches chat until you click to send it. Every button, key and menu fills a box and stops. You read the line first, every time.

It lives on the frames you already watch

A small speech bubble sits on your portrait, on your target, on every party member, and on every row of the group browser. Press one and a menu opens beside it — the same vertical list the game uses for its own right-click menus.

Pick an intent and the line appears with the ways to say it. The channel buttons are the send, and which channels exist is decided by where you opened it: from a party member it leads with party chat, from a target it is said aloud, from a listing it whispers them. Press the same intent again for different words.

What you are offered depends on who they are. No group invite for somebody already in your group. No duel for an innkeeper. Talking to the other faction gets you challenges and taunts rather than greetings — they cannot read a word of it, so the line is for your own side standing there, and the gesture is the half that crosses.

It sounds like your character

Five layers decide what you can say: everyone, your class, your race, your faction, and a handful of race-and-class pairings that mean something neither half says alone. A blood elf paladin knows his order took the Light by force. A draenei shaman adopted a tradition the orcs inherited. A forsaken priest does not serve the Light at all.

The same button gives a shaman "Totems are down. I am set" and a rogue "Ready. I have been in position for some time."

All 53 race and class combinations in Burning Crusade Classic have a voice.

It answers your whispers

A whisper used to be the one person the addon could not reach — not your target, not in your group, just text that scrolls away. Now the name carries the mark, and pressing it opens a window for that person: the conversation kept across sessions, a line to type in, and the phrases beside it. Battle.net friends too, reached through their account, so it works across factions and realms.

It finds you a group

List yourself in the group browser and your own row advertises you in character — with the role you would take, and the dungeon your listing names rather than one guessed from your level. Every other row grows a bubble too: it reads who posted it, what they are running and what they are short of, then offers the roles your class could actually fill.

LFG Scarlet Monastery, healing. Troll shaman, 36.

It is yours

Open the library in game and every line is editable. Write your own, drop the ones that are not your character, change a gesture, rearrange any menu. Each edit is scoped — this character, every orc you roll, every shaman, the whole Horde, or everyone — and stored as a layer on top of the shipped library rather than as a copy, so new phrases in later versions still reach you underneath your own.

Installing

1. Download the zip.
2. Unzip it. You should have a folder called Silvertongue.
3. Put that folder into World of Warcraft/_anniversary_/Interface/AddOns/.
4. Restart the game — not /reload. New addons are only found at launch.

You should end up with Interface/AddOns/Silvertongue/Silvertongue.toc. If unzipping left an extra folder in between, the game will never find it — move the inner folder up one level.

There is nothing to configure. It works on any character the moment it loads.

Dependencies

None. Ace3, LibDataBroker-1.1 and LibDBIcon-1.0 are bundled, so nothing else needs installing and nothing conflicts with your existing copies.
