Aramore - Glossary

Nickname given to the capital of Hawkset, and thus, the heart of the Aramore kingdom. It's a city split into 4 districts and built around a castle atop a great mountain. The map of the city is meant to represent the Aramore insignia.

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.

Tevak

Tevak is the southernmost island in the continent of Aramore, due to it's distant nature it is ruled by a governor who reports to the mainland government once a month. Eneyu and Sulray are from this island, though Eneyu is the only one of them who was born and raised there.

Tevak lore

According to the old nursery rhyme a dragon will take flight from the island and devour all the naughty children's souls on the new year. No one knows where that came from, though the old song "The Wanderer" hints at an oppressive emperor residing there. There is no historical evidence to substantiate this though.

The Pacifist

The text that the man in Eneyu's dream is reading is called "The Pacifist" it's a little known poem written by a Aramorian poet, who uses the pen name Sago Damas, infamous for his reclusive life but renowned the world over for his verse. He also wrote Wandering Heart, the play that Liores' mother was performing in Chapter 3.

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.
