Glossary

Glossary edit see section history

  • Aelwyn Elathien: Novaana of Werthanin, Mindarin's younger sister.
  • Agia Muldonai: The Holy Mountain. Agia Muldonai was the ancient home of the Titans, who lived in Avalione, the city nestled high upon the mountain between its twin peaks. Agia Muldonai has been under Malek's control since the end of the Second Age, when he invaded Kirthanin from his home in exile on the Forbidden Isle.
  • Alazare: The Titan who cast Malek from Agia Muldonai at the end of the First Age when Malek's Rebellion failed. Severely injured in his battle with Malek, Alazare passed from the stage of Kirthanin history and was never seen again.
  • Aleta Tomian: Alina's twin, who has a crush on Joraiem in Dal Harat.
  • Alina Tomain: Aleta's twin.
  • Aljeron Balinor: Novaana of Werthanin ( Shalin Bel ), travels with his battle brother Koshti.
  • Allfather: Creator of Kirthanin, who gave control of Kirthanin's day-to-day affairs to the Council of Twelve. To accomplish this task, He gave great power to each of these Titans. Since the time of Malek's Rebellion, Allfather has continued to speak to His creation through prophets who remind Kirthanin of Allfather's sovereighn rule.
  • Andunin: The Nolthanim man chosen by Malek at the Rebellion to be king over mankind.
  • Arimaar Mountains: Suthanin's longest range, which runs between Lindan Wood and the eastern coast of Suthanin.
  • Arindel: Corindel's father, king of Enthanin near the beginning of the Third Age.
  • Assembly: The offical gathering of all Kirthanin Novaana who are appointed to represent their family and region.
  • Autumn Rise: See Seasons
  • Autumn Wane: See Seasons
  • Avalione: Blessed city and home of the Crystal Fountain. It rests between the peaks of Agia Muldonai and was once the home of the Titans. Like the rest of Agia Muldonai, the city was declared off limits by Allfather at the beginning of the Second Age.
  • Azaruul Butterflies: Green luminescent butterflies.
  • Azmavarim: Also known as Firstblades, these swords were forged during the First Age by Andunin and his followers.
  • Balimere: Also called Balimere the Beautiful. The most beloved of all the Titans to the lesser creatures of Kirthanin. It is said that when Allfather restores Kirthanin, Balimere will be the first of the faithful Titans to be resurrected.
  • Barunaan River: Major north-south river between Kellisor Sea and the Southern Ocean.
  • Berin: Master of Sulare.
  • Black Wolves: Creatures created by Malek during his exile on the Forbidden Isle.
  • Brenim Andira: Novaana of Suthanin ( Dal Harat ), Joraiem's younger brother.
  • Bryar: Novaana of Werthanin, Elyas's older sister.
  • Caan: Combat instructor for the Novaana in Sulare.
  • Calendar: There are ninety-one days in every season, making the year 364 days. The midseason feast days are not numbered and instead are known only by their name ( Midsummer, Midautumn, etc. ). They fall between the fifteenth and sixteenth day of each season. These days are "outside of time" in part as a tribute to the timelessness of Allfather; they also look forward to the time when all things will be made new.
  • Calissa: Novaana of Suthanin ( Kel Imlaris ), Darias's sister.
  • Cimaris Rul: Town at the mouth of the Barunaan River where it pours into the Southern Ocean.
  • Col Marena: Port near Shalin Bel.
  • Corindel: Enthanim royal who attempted to drive Malek from Agia Muldonai and betrayed the Great Bear at the beginning of the Third Age.
  • Council of Twelve: The twelve Titans to whom Allfather entrusted the care of Kirthanin. The Council dwelt in Avalione on Agia Muldonai, but frequently they would clothe themselves in human form and travel throughout the land. The greatest of these was Malek, whose Rebellion ultimately brought about the destruction of the Twelve.
  • Crystal Fountain: Believed to be the fountainhead of all Kirthanin waters, this fountain once flowed in the center of Avalione.
  • Cyranis: A poison of remarkable potency that can kill most living things almost instantly if it gets into the bloodstream. Consequently, the cyranic arrow-the head of which is coated in cyranis-is one of the few weapons that the people of Kirthanin trust against the Malekim.
  • Daaltaran: Aljeron's sword, a Firstblade whose name means "death comes to all."
  • Dal Harat: Village in western Suthanin, Joraiem Andira's home.
  • Darias: Novaana of Suthanin ( Kel Imlaris ), Calissa's brother.
  • Derrion Wel: Town in southeastern Suthanin.
  • Draal: A tight-knit community of Great Bear.
  • Dragon Tower: These ancient structures were built in the First Age as homes away from home for dragons who naturally live in the high places of Kirthanin's mountains and prefer to sleep high above the ground.
  • Dragons: One of the three great races of Kirthanin. All dragons are descended from the golden dragon, Sulmandir, the first creation of Allfather after the Titans. All dragons appear at first glance to be golden, but none except Sulmandir are entirely golden. Three dragon lines exist, marked by their distinct coloring: red, blue, and green.
  • NOT DONE YET: Describe this term.
