A Dragon's Dream of Love (Song of the Sídhí Series #2)
Page 9
Valley - A second dimensional valley covers the same geographical terrain as Earth does. Most Sídhí live within the protection of a valley. A valley can only be entered by a gateway or by porting. Valleys were created thousands of years ago. The most respected theory of how valleys came into existence is The Second Dimensional Balloon Theory.
Vikings – The Vikings are a race of Sídhí who live in one of the very far Northern Valleys.
The Second Dimensional Balloon Theory - During the Great War, Chi’Kehra (see Chi’Kehra) gathered tremendous amounts of raw synth crystal and began pushing the raw energy into the gateways connecting Earth and Sídhí. Before he could finish - whatever he planned - he died. The energy had no guidance. The gateways overloaded and all the energy exploded outward toward Earth. The explosion created massive valleys, teleporting all living creatures from Sídhí to Earth, and permanently sealing the gateways between Sídhí and Earth.
Vampire - Race of people originally from Sídhí. Due to synth crystal they have increased sense of smell, sight, strength, mental capabilities, teleporting ability, retractable incisors, and retractable claws. A vampire has the ability to suck blood or bite with venom. Their venom can Change a mundane human into an immortal vampire.
Clan vampire - Vampires who eat normal/solid human food and (may or may not) drink the blood of a mate or that of an animal. In direct sunshine their eyes turn solid black with no whites. They have a strict code of honor. They detest dhark vampires and elves.
Dhark vampire (aka Exile) - Vampires who drink the blood of humans and do not eat solid food. In direct sunshine their eyes turn solid red with no whites.
NOTE: The Glossary of Sídhí Terms is updated every so often. The most current edition is available at Jodie's website.
