Caellach Gwain
Halfblood; one of the most conservative master wizards of the Citadel. He opposed the abolition of the system in which more experienced wizards were teachers and were paid for by their apprentices doing the housekeeping work.
Citadel, the
A massive stone building, well hidden in the eastern woods, that served as an abode and asylum/hideout for the halfblood wizards. Erected before the First Wizard War, it was used until the Second Wizard War, when its location became known to the elven forces.
After a new hideout, a group/complex of caves discovered by Lashana and Keman, was transformed by the dragon magic into an inhabitable place, it kept the same name.

concubines
Human females taught to give a male ( elven or human) the greatest sexual pleasure possible. If one of his concubines didn't catch the master's eyes, she was given to one of the lord's fighters to breed. When she was no longer fertile and still alive, she would become a drudge.
Corn People
The name was given by the Iron People to a group of primeval people who chose a sedentary style of life and specialisation in agriculture, because of Corn People's light complexion. They were conquered by the elven lords.

One of Lord Dyran's gladiators. Famous for his brutality and the fact that he preferred human females to elven maids (which for most of the elves was a perversion).

Elven maid
How did a beautiful elven maid look like? "She had an ethereal, innocent, free look. She had her hair worn loose, or garlanded with artificial flowers made of gemstones. Her skin would have creamy rose-and-white complexion. She'd have wide, childlike, blue eyes and sylph-slim figure. The most desirable maid was coy and delicate, dainty and timid."
Elvenbane
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
elves
Elves, like dragons, were not native to this world. They entered it through a dimensional gate, fleeing from war-torn Evelon. They are characterized by longevity and possession of magical abilities (see elven magic). They usually had blond or silver hair, green eyes and (always) sharply-pointed ears.
emeralds
Precious gems which, due to their surpassing beauty, were desired by both elven and human females. Elven lords, on the other hand, preferred beryls, because of their magical properties.

Evelon
The native world of elves.
