Trigothia - Ancient kingdom of the three major houses of Are’dune men. In the civil wars, the three families separated the kingdom into the three kingdoms of Ardenia (Arden family), Sythia (Arasyth family), and Adracoria (Adrac family).
Tyre - City near Seabrey, Symboria. Last city before advancing to Mount Urieus.
Vale of Morgoran - Vale with the Tower of Morgoran at its center. Once the tower stood there alone, but after Morgoran was cursed to see only the future, a small village cropped up at the tower’s base and expanded. People hoped that Morgoran could cure their loved ones or predict their future. Even though Morgoran is no longer cursed, the village still functions and remains.
Venifyre (Ven-nee-fear) - Realm and home of the gods. In ancient dragon-speak first created by the gods, y is represented as an ea sound, so Venifyre is not pronounced Ven-nee-fire but Ven-nee-fear. So Genidyre would be pronounced Jin-nee-dear, not Jin-nee-dire.
Veric Namear - An assassin and father of Lady Shey. He was forced against his will to abandon his family when Sheyna was still a toddler.
Vesperin - Orphaned cleric of Loracia from Brookhaven, Symboria, and close friend of Devyn.
Vetell Fex - Monastery located in Symboria, named after the brother of the god Vex. Vetell Fex simply means Fex’s home.
War of the Oracle - A war started by Golvashala (the Oracle) to rid the land of magic so he could take over and rule. He was defeated and presumed dead. (This war created the Blight.)
Winterhaven - A festive winter holiday in the Trigothian kingdoms Symboria, Ishrak, Darovan, and Arillia. It is a popular date to get married in the Trigothian kingdoms.
Wielding - The ability to magically draw essence from everything around that contains essence and wield it to accomplish higher functioning magical feats. Drawing too much essence from one area may devoid that area of its ability to replenish essence for a longer period of time. Unless one is a mindwielder, areas devoid of essence are therefore devoid of magic. Areas of devastation come back with greater amounts of essence.
Xeian – One of the eight gods. The middle son and co-creator of the race of elves, lover of trees and green and things that grow.
