How about languages? As the closest things annelidians have to diplomats, they should probably speak two languages to start, especially with that intelligence penalty. How about Terran or Annelidian (because Terran is a good language for them to communicate with annelidians and gnome, and annelidian would be very difficult for a non-annelidian to use, or we could just say whatever and let them speak it) and undercommon?
