The Silver Drake
- A statuette made of pure silver inset with ruby eyes made by the first holy trine to select the one man worthy of leading the kingdoms of the West as overlord or highlord.

Jin-nee-dear
, not
Jin-nee-dire
.

Wielding
-
The ability to magically draw essence from everything around that contains essence and wield it to accomplish higher functioning magical feats. Drawing too much essence from one area may devoid that area of its ability to replenish essence for a longer period of time. Unless one is a mindwielder, areas devoid of essence are therefore devoid of magic. Areas of devastation come back with greater amounts of essence.
