Bubble Boat

**Bubble Boat** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Race to the Sea” – pg. 105

All sub-nautical **boats** in **New Megara** resemble bubbles trapped in the water, and require every major magical discipline to be applied throughout construction. Their clear exterior allows the pilot(s) inside to rotate and guide their boat toward groups of skittish marine wildlife, without much disturbance. While used by many professions, this makes these **magical** marvels especially suited for professions related to fishing and sight seeing.

The thin, clear barriers, which comprise the boat's structure, are constructed through a magical cementation of transparent silica, air and salt water, thus giving a strong, yet reliably malleable form of transit. The boat walls, which serve no structurally critical purpose, are fully adaptive, and capable of being manipulated upon command (providing the commands are issued at key points throughout the ship).

Each boat is maintained and powered through one main control **crystal** (supported by one or more backup crystals), which receives and relays commands through several minor junctions throughout the boat. This design, however simplistic in conception, is a webwork of crystal powered spells and control, allowing for smooth three dimensional travel. Rare do you find a boat which malfunctions, as the main crystal automates the functions necessary to abide by the pilot's commands, while ensuring those commands and functions are properly double checked for safety. For a potentially fatal malfunction to happen, every crystal must fail at once.

It can take mere hours for someone to learn how to pilot and control the bubbles, but years to fully master the skills and magic needed to have full command over their vessel. Captains with such experience typically add and alter functionality of the boat, often with customized appearances, adjusting to their personal needs and enjoyment. One key feature, that has made it into the mainstream of fishing boats, is the ability to control the opacity, generating magically imprinted images needed to fool schools of fish, by concealing the boat's true identity.

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “National Debate” – pg. 100

**Phacius** is a silk worm farmer, and weaver, well renown for the quality of his silk, and he kept it that way by telling **Mr Emmerling** his “secret”. Within a day, everyone silk farmer on **Geb** was using Phacius “secret method”. Unfortunately for them, Phacius knows Mr Emmerling well, and the secret he whispered into the gossips ear did absolutely nothing to help his competition.

Untenable

**Untenable** / *adjective* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Empty and in the Dark” – pg. 56

Dating back to the mid 17th century, **untenable** describes a situation which can no longer be continued, or is otherwise incapable of being salvaged. Due to extensive environmental damage, it was untenable for the **Gigans** to continue living on **Earth**, so they left.

Cabana

**Cabana** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “To the Wild Green Yonder” – pg. 88

From the late Latin '*capanna*', meaning 'hut' or 'cabin', **cabana** is a structure that typically remains simple and small in nature. In modern days you often see them as resort huts on the beach, or as namesakes for a restaurant and/or bar. **Geb** is no stranger to the later, as it has come to be used as playful slang for relaxing or vacationing shelters, such as a steam cabana or an open air bar.

Magic Pollution

**Magic Pollution** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “National Debate” – pg. 96

**Magic** is a wonderful power that those on **Geb** share. It allows for advancements in all areas of development, products, spiritual, mental, biological, social. It also leaves behind after effects. That's because the manipulation of magic isn't just as simple as things popping out of mid air.... no, magic is a source of the very physical building blocks of the universe, down to the smallest of the smallest particles. As a result, magic is ever present, and manipulations of magic can continue to affect an area or object for years to come. This is called '**magic pollution**', and it can have long term effects on living beings and inanimate objects when left unchecked. Even when carefully kept in check, magic pollution can still damage things which rely upon maintaining a delicate balance, such as medicinals. To combat this, special “anti-magic” precautions are maintained, in conjunction with regular magical cleansing routines.

Acrimonious

**Acrimonious** / *adjective* :

From the Latin '*acrimonia*', meaning something sharp or cutting, **acrimonious** can be applied to anything which may leave behind some sort of lasting hurtful feelings, such as an attitude that gives biting remarks or behavior that hurts your own activities. You would never see **Lee** hold an acrimonious attitude against **Tony** (well, not unless he really screwed up, then it's time for flowers and chocolates).

Magic Applications: Continuance Spell

**Magic Applications: Continuance Spell** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Condemned Complex” – pg. 74

 A **continuance spell** is the engine by which the caster is able to direct the flow of magic to be maintained long after the individual has finished casting the spell, acting as if it were glue or tape holding the magic together. Not every effect or magical spell which lasts a long time is under the effects of a continuance spell, for instance: a three hour broadcast of your favorite **television** show marathon would be powered by **magic crystals**; the wood in a wood burning stove may be ignited with a magical spell, but it continues to burn after its lit. An example of a spell maintained by a continuance spell: a globe of light cast on an object (such as a rock).

 All continuance spells have a natural rate of decay, determined by the caster, the amount of energy used in the spell, and all environmental influences. Some (such as those which enchant crystals) can last for decades (if not potentially centuries); while others (such as those which temporarily proof clothing against water saturation) can quickly dissipate if enough outside influences work to erode the spell (like water washing away the magical bindings).

Pumice

**Pumice** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Condemned Complex” – pg. 72

**Pumice** is a very porous **igneous rock** that's almost sponge like in appearance. Its low gravity, and density, also allows some formations of pumice to float in water. Pumice is primarily comprised of textured volcanic glass, with a crystal content that varies greatly from source to source. It's usually light in color, and the holes tend to be small, albeit numerous throughout the rock. Pumice tends to be silicic or felsic in composition, and forms through rapid cooling and depressurization.

Where you find pumice, you are also likely to find other **metamorphic** and igneous rocks, such as **scoria** and **basalt**, all three of which **Geb** has plenty.

Bob

**Bob**

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “National Debate” – pg. 99

**Bob** is an odd mix of a privately outgoing people person who keeps to himself. While knowing when to not be nosy, he won't hesitate to give people the advice they need, whether or not they want to hear it. At the same time, he isn't rude. He is tactful, and most people find him a pleasantly intelligent conversationalist. Even those who reject his advice on the onset, tend to wind up using it later (whether or not they admit to it). There is one exception: his brother, a man whose solitary purpose and religion is to ignore Bob's advice.

For whatever reason, Bob's own life is as confounding as his personality. While in support of family unity, he rarely gets along with his brother (although he doesn't care to), and while he will often argue for the strength of a centralized government dictated by the people, he prefers living in the **dis-incorporated Wildlands**.

An amphibious **bullet train**, the **New Megara – District of Vesta Express** guarantees near immediate transit from the Capital City of New Megara directly to the **Capital of Geb: The District of Vesta**. Much like all other bullet trains, it's a model of fashion and efficiency. The fashion, in particular, is reflective of the Ancient Greek inspired beauty found beneath the sea, mixed with modern elements of the tram system, and the unifying spirit of the District of Vesta.

Magic Applications: Tailoring Spells

**Magic Applications: Tailoring Spells** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Underwater Citadel of Yonaguni” – pg. 121

This application covers more than just tailoring, as any sort of woven or textile like material can be repaired or created through this series of spells, from the simple fabrics and paper making, to advanced carbon graphite weaving, **magic crystal** construction/repair, and finally silicone weaving/manipulation on the atomic scale (which produces advanced synthetic fibers used in high-grade manufacturing. Keep in mind, this is an extreme example of high-grade **magic**, and requires magical mechanical assistance).

However, the most common usage is for what we'd consider tailoring. Repairing split threads, weaving blankets, sewing clothes, all of those are possible with tailoring spells. The more difficult the job, the more complex the spell (retying broken threads is easier than restoring a thread that was simply worn down, for instance). Besides knowing how to cast spells, “pre-programmed” sewing kits also exist to help those on the run who need a little bit of extra help. This is seen as a survival and general knowledge skill, while people can advance it, it's almost shameful if a practitioner of the arcane doesn't at least know the basics.

Magic Applications: Air Mask

**Magic Applications: Air Mask** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Aviary” – pg. 39

Not much different in principle than other forms of magical air manipulations, there are some key differences in **air mask** style spells. One is the function of recycling and scrubbing the air. Where other applications, such as **artificial diving fins**, will use the same air, air masks must actually scrub the bad air out (such as carbon dioxide), and replace it with cleaner breathable air (usually increasing oxygen content). Depending on where the user is, this can result in a long lasting air mask, or an air mask that is repeatedly in danger of failing.

Air masks can also help protect the wearer from breathing in particulates, such as smoke, dust or bugs, as well as heavy environmental presences, such as water. When cast, an air mask gives a light translucent flowing apparition over the wearer's mouth, almost invisible, but not quite. When in contact with heavy particulates, or even poisons, the air mask changes color to warn the wearer that something else is in the air, should the mask drop.

A **universal optical interface** is an interface designed to communicate through optical signals (such as with fiber optics, lasers, etc...). These signals transmit from one port to another, altering wavelength and intensity to process the information. While nothing can be truly universal, devices with universal programming are capable of communicating in terms basic enough, on broad enough levels, that most computers can process the information being transmitted and received.

Since the people of **Geb** use **magic** as the fundamental base for their computer systems, almost all of the computer systems on Geb are considered universal in nature.

Anti-pest lines are common in all areas of **Geb**, from buildings in the cities, to villages in the Wildlands.

Jinx

**Jinx** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “To the Wild Green Yonder” – pg. 83

From the Greek **iynx*' (meaning charm or spell), “'*Jinx**” is a game kids will play, that developed from the **20th century**, with multiple variations. When two people say the same thing at once, both people must then say “JINX!” to “jinx” the other person. Then one of the following happens:

In one variation, the person who doesn't say “Jinx” quick enough must keep their mouth shut, making no verbal noises, until someone releases them from the “spell” by saying their full first name. Breaking this rule means the jinxed person will have “bad luck” (it should be noted, no actual spell or bad luck affects the person, even on the **magical Island of Geb**. This is just a game, after all).

In another variation, both people must say: “JINX! You owe me a pop!” or some other drink, to declare the jinxed person owes them as drink.

If both people keep saying the same thing, they have to keep yelling the appropriate “jinx” phrase until they give up or one person is successful in “jinxing” the other. Some will even playfully say “I'M JINXED!” or “I OWE YOU A POP!” just to admit defeat.

**The National Air Station** (commonly referred to as the Air Station) flies above the volcano, where numerous gaseous and air particulate studies have been conducted by those within the **Island Nation of Geb**.  Although the primary funding for this air station comes from the five major states, a number of the richer cities, businesses, institutions and individuals, from the dis-incorporated Wildlands, make donations to support the station's quest for knowledge.  This is because the knowledge gained from the air station has been, and remains to be, invaluable, for all aspects of ecological and **magical** studies.  This can be easily seen, as students and scientists, of the dis-incorporated Wildlands, enjoy working positions aboard the Air Station at various levels.

While kept aloft primarily with air magics, assisted through **crystal** use and placement, the station does host a number of “clean rooms”, where the interior of each room is heavily insulated from any, and all, forms of unaccounted form of magic, energy or matter.

Staccato

**Staccato** / *adjective* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Race to the Sea” – pg. 112

**Staccato** is an Italian word which means something that is removed or detached, literally something that is disconnected. When used in terms of sound, it means a quick sound, that doesn't hold on or continue. **Chet** often has a staccato “speech” when he talks to **Tony** (well, what you can call speech for a squirrel).

Marshall, New Megaran Senator Hawkeye

**Marshall, New Megaran Senator Hawkeye**

Birthday: **Januarius** 28th, 48 **P.G.E.**, **New Megara, New Megara**; Age: 54

Hair: Dark/Black; Eyes: Brown; Skin: Tan - Light Tone

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Race to Conquer the Seas” – pg. 141

**Senator Hawkeye Marshall's** representation of **New Megara** comes from his years of studying to be a Medical Doctor in the Wildlands, where the first major social scuffle took place over the political debate of excavating the Gigan Ruins in 73 **P.G.E.**. He was 25, and served as a field doctor during the protest oriented conflicts which were primarily between **Sial Guards**, **Wild Ones**, Dis-Incorporated Citizens, Federal Guards, Scientific Activists and Politicians. While there were other protesters from the other states, the main players were those who had vested interests in prime excavation locations. There were just under 500 casualties, with five deaths. Hawkeye was involved with the triage unit which attempted to save 3 of those who died, and successfully saved 127 others. Due to his skill, at the young age of 25, he had the worst cases, including the men who died.

Despite the live video recordings of his surgeries passing the toughest inspections, despite families of those who died telling him it wasn't his fault, Hawkeye couldn't let the event go. While he eventually realized he did everything that could've been done, that those whom he saved likely would've died under anyone else's hands, he refused to accept the political state of affairs which would allow a protest to turn so deadly. In fact, he was convinced that members of the Sial Guard had been instrumental in escalating the conflict, while attempting to blame the Wild Ones for actions that were done through directed subversion.

In just a couple of years, during the next major election, he retired from his medical practice, determined that he could save more lives by entering the political arena. His first order of business: to strengthen ethical laws and standards for anything that took place across borders. Lines were drawn when he stepped foot on the Senate floor, and it was clear by sight alone, who was likely an elected criminal, and who was an elected representative. Few, if any, who had shady dealings in their past would come within ten feet of the Senator. It was only a matter of time before this reputation directly landed him as the head of the Ethics Committee governing all federal oversight.

Extraneous

**Extraneous** / *adjective* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Crossing the Border” – pg. 33

**Extraneous** means to be put forth or go beyond normal effort. Extraneous travel, for instance, would mean to travel beyond what is minimally required, by putting extra effort into the travel. Traveling from **Pallas, Floriantis** to the nearest village in the **Wildlands** via **sparrowfields** would not be casual, but walking that distance would be!

Kit and Kaboodle

**Kit and Kaboodle** / *phrase* / *idiom* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Crossing the Border” – pg. 27

 A complicated history can be found with this phrase, but it's likely believed that **kit and kaboodle** refers to a kit you would have that contains all you need to do something (such as tools), and a boodle may have come from '*bundle*' or '*bindle*', which means a bunch of items lashed together (such as things you would work with the tools). Therefore, kit and kaboodle would mean everything needed to be prepared and wrapped up nicely. It is can be used in a similar fashion to the **idiom** “everything and the kitchen sink” - which means everything you could expect to be together was found together.

When one wishes to escape into an adventure, especially an adventure that is typically frowned upon by society, one has embarked upon an **escapade**! Who better to embark upon an escapade than those who identify themselves as members of an ancient French guard called: **Musketeers**.

Roost

**Roost** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Crossing the Border” – pg. 32

A **roost** is any sort of location or spot where flying animals find it comfortable to rest. The people of **Geb** take extra interest in making lavishly comfortable roosts for their flying friends. It should not be confused with an **aviary** – a structure devoted to the care and housing of birds.

Aroonn Air Force

**Aroonn Air Force** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Homefront” – pg. 124

Like all states and territories within **Geb**, Aroonn has its own air force. Unlike the other airborn security forces, the **Aroonn Air Force** is the most magically and technologically advanced airborn guard within Geb. Hailed for the stalwart soldiers and pilots it produces, the Aroonn Air Force is matched in skill only by the more specialized forces of other states, such as New Megara's Amphibious Guard (New MAG or MAGs): **The New Megaran Mariners** (or Mariners for short).

The Three Musketeers

**The Three Musketeers** / *noun* or *adjective* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Yes, Ava, There Is A Problem With The Exhibit” – pg. 16

 “**The Three Musketeers**” is a mid-19th century novel by the author, and social commentator, Alexandre Dumas, who used the power of allegory to construct a fantasy world modeled after the Musketeers (and personal guard) of the 17th century French Throne. The number three refers to the three musketeers who befriended d'Artagnan, and helped him reach his goal of entering the coveted guard. While each of the musketeers is loosely based (very loosely based) on historical musketeers (Aramis from Henri d'Aramitz, Athos from Armand de Sillègue d'Athos d'Autevielle, Porthos from Isaac de Porthau), it should be emphasized that the fictional musketeers were allegorical representations of that which makes a true musketeer: Dedication, Love/Empathy for Life and the Passion for Life!

While **Ava**, **Lee** and **Tony** often play at who may be who, it's typically settled on Lee being the dedicated one, Ava being the adventurous one and Tony being the kind one.... or is Tony the dedicated one, and Lee the adventurous one with Ava being the kind one? Wait... could all three be d'Artagnan?! But, then, what would that make **Chet**?! We should settle this the same way they do – Rock, Paper, Scissors! Who's rock?! Wait, wait, don't tell me!

Unwieldy

**Unwieldy** / *adjective* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Underwater Citadel of Yonaguni” – pg. 114

A combination of the Old Frisian prefix '*un-*' (meaning not) and numerous early European variations of '*wielde*'/'*wield*'/'*valda*'/etc... which all mean to be active, full of life, hold power, control, govern, etc.... **Unwieldy** has not deviated from those definitions, and does indicate that something cannot be properly controlled, or controlled very well. The last thing anyone on **Geb** wants is to be unwieldy with **magic**, so everyone is careful to go to **school** and learn everything they can about it.

Imagine a world filled with magic, ruled by Giants who took what they wanted, and laid waste to everything they saw! When disaster hit, they left for the stars, leaving a magical race of people to defend and cure the mess they left behind. The Gigans promised to return when the world was healed, causing strong political divisions with the custodial race.
It's been over 100 years since the Gigans have gone, and the island nation of magically endowed people are faced with their pressing return. Plants, animals and insects have since thrived, granting them an enlarged presence on the planet. These enlarged and now giant animals, have resulted in avianators who ride the backs of hawks, and squirrels who are used as pack mules.

What will the people on the Island of Geb do? Will they try to explore the planet, and stop the return of the Gigans? Will they prepare it for the return? Or will they keep the planet in a state of disaster to discourage the Giants' return?

Felix

**Felix**

Ears: Black Tipped; Undercoat: Pale

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Ex-Vacation?” – pg. 50

Companion to **Patirica Cochran**, Felix has served with the **Sial Guard** since he was a kitten. His unique black tipped ears are often compared to the bolts in Patirica's **crossbow**, for better and for worse. It's not clear whether or not it was because he was raised from such a young age to fight, or if it was because of his strong empathic link with Patirica, but one thing is for sure: he is a killer. His volatile desire to protect Patirica has given even the most fanatical of Sial pause when reviewing the pair's performance reports.

Magic Applications: Control Magic

**Magic Applications: Control Magic** / *noun* :

First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “Condemned Complex” – pg. 74

**Control magic** is more a description of a skill than anything else. Before you can use **magic** properly, you need to control it. Lack of control could mean sleep casting, waving your hands around like a fool with no magical effect, or turning your hands into a set of firecrackers while attempting to levitate your **television** remote control. Yes, it's that important, and no, nobody ever rebels against learning how to control magic. The good news is, learning the basics of control magic is like learning to walk, or manipulate all the digits on your hands. Babies may make mistakes, but their lack of concentrated thought minimizes those mistakes to harmless flashes of lights, and by the time the child enters **pre-school**, their magical control matches their ability to breathe (minor magical feats, such as flicking magic touch lights on and off, or making bubble swirls in their milk, is second nature by this point).

This isn't to say there aren't finer points of control that must be learned for advanced spells. Everyone can color with crayons, but not everyone can replicate the Mona Lisa with a box of 64 colors, the same is true for those who learn magic. That's where advanced courses in control magic come into play, as it opens doors for the residents of **Geb** to learn how to properly learn and manipulate magic without risk of injury to themselves or others.
