Glossary

The Twilight: Parallell worlds that overlap the existing world in which normal humans live. The Others can travel to different levels of the Twilight in direct proportion to their level of power. Each lower level of the twilight requires more effort and energy to enter into. As an individual goes into lower levels of the Twilight, aspects of the "normal world" slowly dissapear and loose color. At the lowest levels of the Twilight, color returns in a very diminished hue. Dead Others linger at the 6th level of the Twilight. Onlight the most enlightened and powerful Others can travel to the 7th level of the Twilight which is a recognition that the Twilight and "Normal World" are cyclical. Instead of going backward through the Twilight (6th level, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, then Normal World), the most powerful Other's learn that they can simply move foward from the 6th Level onto the 7th Level/The Normal World. When an individual first enters The Twilight, their emotions will determine their alignment with either the Daywatch or the Nightwatch (and in some cases the Inquisition).
