[glow=red,2,300]Anthromorph:[/glow] ahn-throe-morf noun A special breed of Familiar, they are able to take human form. Unlike the typical Familiar, they possess an imprinted image of their rightful owner and will live thousands of years over to finally meet their opposite.
[glow=red,2,300]Bonded: [/glow] bohn-ded noun The humanoid in a Familiar pair, usually a term used only by the Familiar. verb; past-tense The special connection between one animal (Familiar) and one humanoid, most commonly found in the country of Myrari.
[glow=red,2,300]Creators:[/glow] cree-ay-tors noun The beings who control all that happens in Myrari (the writers of the roleplay). They have the ultimate power in the universe, presiding over even the Gods. Most Creators only have control over a handful of beings, although some have been known to control entire countries, and there are rumors of a Creator who created the entire continent!
[glow=red,2,300]Decovenia:[/glow] dess-oh-vehn-yah noun Otherwise known as the Grace, Decovenia is a stimulant widely used by the Dark Lord's minions, and is typically famed for its 'empowering' effect, which brings about Nocens-like qualities in fully human users and enhances the 'hunting' quality in the Huma-Nocens. It is typically chronically long lasting and usually brings out the worst qualities in a user, stunting judgment and increasing aggression. In some cases, it has even been found to deaden pain.
[glow=red,2,300]Dragon-Flute:[/glow] drag-uhn-floot noun Similar in design to the Lead-Flute, though it hosts a wider variety of projectiles. Typically carved in the form of a dragon or similar beast. see 'Lead-Flute'
[glow=red,2,300]Doxie:[/glow] dah-ksee noun A low-level female protitute; skank; whore
[glow=red,2,300]Eras:[/glow] ehr-uhz noun Much like A.D. and B.C. in the world of the Creators, the Eras tell around what time something is. The Eras, in order and with a short description, follow: Era of Creation (E.C.): A time of turmoil with little life, when the world was being formed. Era of Darkness (E.D.): A time when man first came into being. Man's primitive mind was easily molded by the Dark One, and he reigned supreme in this period of evil. Era of Friendship (E.F.): A time when the Gods, in an attempt to strengthen Man's mind and will to protect them from the Dark One, told animals to begin bonding with Man. The first familiar bond marks the beginning of this Era. Man's moving out of the area that is now Myrari marked the end, as the familiars stayed in Myrari. Era of Light (E.L.): A time when Man began establishing kingdoms and a sense of order and justice was felt. Era of War (E.W.) (Also known as the Old World): A time when war was hideously common, be it between countries, against the dark, or against another sentient being. This era ended when Selindra's Children found the Orb and gave it to Lady Moon. Era of Rebirth (E.R.): A time when the Dark One was further from gaining control than ever in history, and life was peaceful, easy, and happy. There was no strife, no war, no hate. Only love and joy. Era of the Breaking (E.B.): A time when the Dark One returns with full power and almost destroys the world in an attempt to turn the Creators to his cause and change the world to his liking. Much knowledge gained during the Era of Rebirth was lost to tragic twists of fate, and about half way through the era, people were living as they had during the Era of War.
[glow=red,2,300]Ether:[/glow] eh-ther noun Ether is commonly found in the waters and on the beaches around Myrari, where it accumulated in massive quantities before dumping it over the reefs was outlawed at the turn of the century. See 'Techs'

[glow=red,2,300]Huma-Nocens:[/glow] hyoo-muh-no-sens noun Named after an alleged past race, Huma-Nocens are the creation of the Dark Lord, who has over time perfected the process of shattering a soul and reshaping it in his image. Each Huma-Nocens varies in design, as it is impossible to reproduce the same characteristics more than twice: still, the race as a whole shares several characterizing traits. Black, hoof-like fingernails are rather typical, as are ringed eyes and fanglike incisors. These are occasionally substituted with wings, and the host's temper is drastically shortened in some cases, creating fierce aggression and poor judgment. With every step, the Dark Lord comes closer and closer to creating the 'Perfect Race'; given time, he may just manage to embody the original Nocens, those who once destroyed the earth.
[glow=red,2,300]Lead-Flute:[/glow] led-floot noun A sort of prototype gun, the Flute's design was discovered during a raid of an northern Old World country and put to physical form in the year 00983. It fires a lead bullet propelled by a standard charge of concentrated Ether.

The largest scroll is typically in the center, and folds out, map-style, unlike the other scrolls, which pull down in a window-blind fashion.
[glow=red,2,300]Old-World:[/glow] (no phonetic spelling necessary) noun A term used to refer to times before the year 00001. Little is known about this period, though Old-World settlements are rumored to exist still, further north.
[glow=red,2,300]Orb of Power, The:[/glow] (no phonetic spelling necessary) noun A ball of scrap metal with every Gods' and Goddess' symbol imprinted on it. It retains the power to destroy the world, or to save it.
