Bolshi: This refers to a horse brought by humans to Lithgar. As with all human lifestock they have the ability to gain sustenance from nearly anything organic. They are slightly smaller than horses but are much more valuable on an extended campaign.

Bantu: A large native quadruped herbivore, similar to an earth bison. Massive head and forequarters covered with dark brown woolly hair. Hips and hindquarters are much smaller and without long hair thus forming a distinct slope from high humped shoulders to tufted tail. Some stand six feet at the shoulder and weigh as much as a ton. Two short, sharp, upcurved horns above the eyesockets. They form large herds on open range and grasslands, numbering into the thousands.

Horse: A native quadruped herbivore, similar to an earth horse. They are slightly larger and make better heavy cavalry, but are strategicly slower and require grain for peak performance.

Illumination: The hibernation / moulting process by which a draconic changes from one form to another. This occurs three times, from troglodyte to adult, from adult to a mature form and finally (if the draconic is fortunate enough to live long enough) into an ancient form. The process can take from months to years, during which time the dracon is encased in a chrysalis. It is thought of as a period of meditation, reflection and contemplation as well as an often radical change in physical form.
