Guild Terms
Adventuring Company - A guild of adventurers, traveling in a company. A company, in this case, ranges from a team (2-5), a squad (~10), a platoon (~50), or a proper company (2-4 platoons). Companies comprised of larger than 200 require a legal permit and are rare outside of times of war.

Dark Guild - A type of guild known for performing illegal acts ie. extortion, slavery, assassination, and smuggling.

Guild vs Company - These terms are usually used interchangeably. The proper use of ‘company’ refers to either a traveling group or the military term of 2-4 combined platoons.

Mercenary Company - An older term sometimes used interchangeably with ‘adventuring company.’ The term remains as, during wartime, adventurers were often hired as mercenaries attached to armies.

Other Terms
Daeva - A human with traces of angelic ancestry.

Demonblood - (See tiefling below)

Dovahkiin - A human with traces of scalefolk ancestry, often specialized in elemental magic. Will be used unless someone tells the Author they can be sued for it.

Elf - A long-lived race that has mostly integrated with humankind. Known for being flighty. Elves reach physical and mental maturity at 110 years old.

Iredar - While mostly referring to furred Kobolds, the term is used as a catch-all for underground-dwelling humanoids. Includes Gnomes... but not Dwarves.

Irvhir - While mostly referring to scalekin Kobolds, the term is used as a catch-all for scale-folk with lizard ancestry. Several thousand years ago, the term Irvhir referred to what is now the Iredar. Historians are unsure or when or why the change occurred.

Mana Ward - A mana-shield generated by Caster Classes, who often do not have strengthened constitutions like Martial Classes.

Orc - Large, green-skinned humanoids who worship their gods by engaging in “honorable” battle. To be respected in an Orc tribe, one must either be brutal or cunning-- preferably both.

Orkish Sugar - Black explosive powder. First discovered by Dwarves. First utilized by Orc Shamans. First weaponized by Humans.

Popoto - A gnome-sized, bronze-skinned humanoid, known for having cute, child-like appearances. Popotoes tend to have a high affinity for magic.

Tiefling - A human with traces of demon or devil ancestry. Also known as devil-bloods. In this setting, demons and devils have a healthy rivalry, but are not hostile. Demons dislike being called devils and vice versa, but accept that commonfolk would not easily know the difference. Even current-generation demons and devils find it hard to tell the difference...

Titanblood - A human with giant ancestry. Also known as half-giants.
