Academy Year Groups
The Little Isles Academy, where the story is set (at least the first part), has a slightly odd year system, which goes as follows:
Preliminary Year (Training year), ages 12-13
First Year Students, ages 13-14
Second Year Students, ages 14-15
Third Year Students, ages 15-16
Prefecture, ages 16-18 (2 years)
Pages: 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-14, 3-1
Rahen Forest
The forest surrounding the dorms of the Academy. Every year the Festival of Beginnings is held there to welcome the new students, though it's mostly an excuse to get drunk. The forest is pretty big, about 20 square miles, and is home to vibrant wildlife. I based it off Cannock Chase, a nice place near where I live.

Tero Damas
Literal translation from Old Tongue "Frightened Soul". A name given to people and creatures whose souls have become tainted and whose physical appearance has altered dramatically. The name is also used as a catch all word for any type of Daemon. The word is never used in the world that Eneyu and the other main characters inhabit, which is why Damascurio translates it for him on page 2-9.
Pages: 2-9, 2-12, 5-3, 5-7
The Wanderer
The Wanderer is an old folk song popular with scholars for it's possible historical insight. Though it contains references to unbelievable things, many of the locations and events named have historical evidence backing them. It tells the story of a soldier who deserted a battle many years ago, and as punishment was condemned to do the bidding of ancient spirits for eternity. Their divine hand working on the planet and his adventures and triumphs. I'm putting a verse of it on the last page of each chapter.
