Arcana Alphabet

A

Actar

Actar is a town on Tor Island’s west coast, a den of iniquity where anything can be bought and sold.

Ale

Ale is as commonplace on Valaris as any imbiber of the brew expects!

Ancient Oracles

The Ancient Oracles are ten mighty volumes written in the Ancient Tongue. They are also the greatest treasure of the Valleur.

Ancient Tongue

The Ancient Tongue is read and written by the clans of the Meth Peninsula, and entirely missing among the southern people. Much is revealed when this nuance comes to light.

Arcana

These are the Secret Remedies used by sorcerers on Valaris, but this is also the name of the race of terrible manipulation beyond the Rift.

Ardosia

Ardosia is the Valleur world beyond the Rift.

Arli

Arli is an underground flame-wright on Pendulim, able to create life-wheels that confer aspects to the wearer. He is also filled with strange wisdom.

Arrows and Assents

These are the two mountain ranges that form the hidden valley where the Graveyard of the Ancients is sited.

Aqua Islands

The Aqua Islands are a collection of small spits of land at the southern end of the continent. A great battle takes place here.

Aspect

An aspect is a magical manipulation instilled into a life-wheel and, when worn around the neck, the aspect transfers to the wearer. Thus, if you desire to become a sword master, the aspect confers the talent.

Ass River

The Ass River is a tongue-in-cheek naming for a watercourse on Valaris.

Augin

Augin is a Palace Guard of Ardosia. He is sent to Valaris and enters as a man disguised. Later he becomes brother to the Enchanter.

Aven

Aven is a self-styled sorcerer on a world that abhors all magic. As member of the Mantle he was instrumental in bringing Rayne into Mantle ranks. He lives in Farinwood when the tale commences, with his ward. Aven and Rayne frequently clash, both men stubborn.

Averroes

Averroes is Aven’s ward, a waif he rescued from the streets of Galilan.
