Miscellaneous
-an

An honorific suffix used when speaking formally to or of a peer. 

-anz

An honorific suffix used when speaking formally to or of an elder. 

-sa

An honorific suffix used when speaking formally to or of someone under one’s care, protection, or tutelage. 

Ashai

One who has been designated for a leadership/elder peer position in a newly-formed coven.

Kohai

One who has been designated for the younger peer position and is joined into an existing coven 

Deepborn

One of two kobold birthtypes. Hatched from eggs at low elevations, they are wingless kobolds with either very small horns or none at all. Though they are generally smaller and physically weaker than their skyborn counterparts. They generate more mana per day and, once mature, experience a monthly Moon, a period during which they have heightened mana production, increased attraction to and desire for skyborn, and enhanced pheromonal output which makes them especially attractive to their winged counterparts.

Skyborn

One of two kobold birthtypes. Hatched from eggs at high elevations, skyborn have wings and larger horns or, in some cases, antlers. They are physically stronger than their deepborn counterparts and capable of flight. However, they generate less mana per day, with some percentage of it held in reserve and relegated to powering the magic which enables their flight. 

Coven

In this universe, a coven is a group of unrelated kobolds—formed either by arrangement or organically, depending mostly on the prevailing culture of the region—who form a family group, sharing shelter as well as child-rearing and other duties of maintaining a home. Generally (again, depending on culture) they are expected to breed and mate only within their coven, though it is rare that a kobold does so with every member of their group. 

Greenroom

A chamber filled with plants and fungi which serves as restroom and disposal system for most forms of biological waste. 

Krada

The child of a chieftain. 

Favor

When used as a proper noun, Favor references a form of energy/power which all Gem-fused kobolds  passively generate. It is useless to the one who generates it, but can be passed on to or exchanged with others. Favor enables the kobold receiving it to absorb their Gem over time, increasing their power and capabilities and allowing them to fuse new Gems and learn new Abilities. 

Moon

When used as a proper noun, a Moon is a three-day period experienced monthly by all mature deepborn during which they have heightened mana production, increased attraction to and desire for skyborn, and enhanced pheromonal output which makes them especially attractive to their winged counterparts.  

Pon farr

A term used in the Star Trek universe to refer to a period of time when a Vulcan must mate or suffer severe physical and mental strain. 

(This one does not belong to me and is the actual word used in the Star Trek franchise. Included because not everyone gets Trek references. Yeah, I know. I was surprised too.)

    Status: chapter 17 – of want and war

    Having read this Royal Road story up to Chapter 17 as I write this review, I would say it has potential. The plot is rather slow, so it's hard to judge it at the moment because it's only at the beginning, but it's a good start. The universe is deeply constructed and the author strives to be original in every detail rather than copying middle-age human society (or at least its representation in pop culture). For example, toilets are rooms called "green rooms" filled with plants and mushrooms to compost waste. The heroine doesn't have the memories of the previous occupant of the body, so she pretends to have memory problems, and it detracts from the realism a bit that the other kobolds are relatively indifferent to the fact that she has forgotten even the most basic things. But I suppose it's a scriptwriting necessity to make us discover this world at the same time as her.

    The only real potential problem is the abundance of neologisms to designate concepts invented by the author such as social structures, rituals, foods, magic items, etc. Warning: they are not useless since they designate things that have no equivalent in our language, but they quickly become numerous and if they are not used regularly, you risk not remembering them. It would be nice if the author added a glossary.

    Status: chapter 40 – of swimming and sapphires

    I quite like the series. It is written well and I enjoy the rich worldbuilding, of which we have seen anly a tiny bit so far. There are elements of mystery in it, which hooks reader well. Characters are interesting.

    Would like to read more, but it went on hiatus just as plot started to pick up the pace 🥲
