Baro

Definition:

Information:

baro

Beast-people.

In the D'ni dialect, baro is a pejorative word applied to a race of intelligent non-humans who are believed to be native to the Spiral Age. Yeesha occasionally used the word, but more often called them "the least". It is suspected that she borrowed the latter term from Words of the Watcher. The word baro does not appear in any available D'ni documents, but was also used by Esher for the same beings when speaking to Dr. Watson in 2005.

In the Terahnee dialect, baro is a pejorative term used for outsiders of any description or origin, with "outsider" being defined as anyone not of Ronay descent. The Terahnee people thought outsiders were only fit to be slaves, and when captured and sold as slaves, they were called relyima. (See relyima.)

The most common word based on dako that explorers will come across is Dakotam, which means firemarble. Firemarbles are the most common source of lamp light that was used in the D'ni empire. It is unknown where the D'ni acquired them or how they may have been made, but they provide a fairly bright glow with no external power source, and most of the examples we run across are still glowing strongly even after the hundreds of years since the fall of the D'ni. Firemarbles were also used in lanterns, work lights, and headlamps for helmets.

Descriptive Book.

A descriptive book was an original book written in a special dialect of the Ronā language, and which was made from specially prepared paper and ink. The methods and ingredients used to make the paper and ink were closely held secrets of the Guilds of Book and Ink Makers. The book described an Age, which was a relatively small area of a world.

If written correctly, the book would lock onto a world which resembled the description written in the book, and create a teleportation link to it. A poorly written book might not work at all, link to a place that was unappealing or barren, or even to a world that was dangerous to human life. Because of this, there were very strict rules about writing an Age and it was considered blasphemous to ignore them.

When a new book was completed, the Guild of Maintainers had the job of reviewing it for errors and then linking through first to investigate the Age and determine its safety. They also had the duty of disposing of flawed books.

Books could also be made to several places in the same Age, although one could not link from one place in an Age directly to another. Linking books were considered more or less disposable.

Lelåm

Definition:

Information:

lelåm

Definition unknown.

A variety of plant for which we have no known confirmed example. Based on the description, it's not unreasonable to believe that the trees found in Water Ahnonay might be lelåm. All we know of the plant is this passage found in Words of the Watcher, section 4, lines 62-64.

"Like the lelåm they grow,
Expanding in size
But lessening in thickness."
