In the future, can we all please try to capitalize "Eredar", "Ereduin", and all those other proper nouns? You're killing me, here.

As the general name of a people, I'm not sure if 'eredar' counts as a proper noun. I rarely see the races' names capitalized - dwarf, elf, gnome, orc, tauren and so on are usually left lowercase, unless they're at the beginning of a sentence or something similar. And I don't remember seeing 'human' capitalized even when I see it in non-WoW-related stories. I think if you're referring to a specific group or something like that it gets capitalized, though - the Wildhammer dwarves, the Sindorei, the Navajo, the Japanese, etc.

I agree that 'Ereduin' should be capitalized, though, as the name of a language.

I am actually under style guidelines to not capitalize the names of races. So it's human, orc, blood elf, draenei, eredar, etc etc

Ah :) ok then. I still disagree, but at least you have it in writing!

... But Ereduin really does need to be capitalized.
