Vaugen, Sef – Bodyguard to Juvela through her childhood, and widower to Anja Vaugen.
Vassini, Benefice Gian – The head of the Church of Baimiopia in Ossard, see Benefice Gian Vassini.
Velsana – The isolated ancestral homeland of the Lae Velsanans, and the site of Ansilsae, the barren coastal plain that hosted the apocalyptic battle that gave birth to the Ansilsae Prophecy.
The Lae Velsanans were forced from their home as part of that prophecy, and now the Kinreda priesthood preach that it remains hidden by the gods, waiting for the Fifth and Final Dominion to rise and rediscover it. Once reclaimed, it will host the eternal capital.
The island continent is thought to be situated to the west of Dormetia, abandoned and laying fallow. The most ancient texts of the Lae Velsanans show it to be an island continent divided into five regions.
Vilma Van Blomstein – See, Van Blomstein, Vilma .
Wairanir - The large island that holds the Core of Lae Wair-Rae, the Fifth and Final Dominion, in its south-eastern corner.
White Sea – The sea to the north of Ossard and the Northcountry, often laden with drifting ice and haunted by savage winter storms.
Witches’ Kiss – The casual term used by the Inquisition to denote someone who is succumbing to some kind of magical awakening.
Yamere – A great pillar-city of outstanding beauty, and current capital of the Fifth and Final Dominion.

About the Author
Colin Taber was born in Australia in 1970 and announced his intention to be a writer at the innocent age of 6. His father, an accountant, provided some cautious advice, suggesting that life might be easier if his son pursued a more predictable vocation.
Colin didn't listen.
Over the past twenty years Colin's had over a hundred magazine articles published, notably in Australian Realms Magazine. In 2009 his first novel, The Fall of Ossard, was released to open his coming of age dark fantasy series, The Ossard Trilogy. The second installment, Ossard's Hope, followed in 2011 and was supported by a national book signing tour. Currently Colin is working on the final book in that trilogy, Lae Ossard, and his new series The United States of Vinland.
Colin has done many things over the years, from working in bookshops to event management, small press publishing, landscape design and even tree farming. All he really wants to do, though, is to get back to his oak grove and be left to write.
Thankfully, with an enthusiastic and growing readership, that day is coming. He currently haunts the west coast city of Perth.
