Glossary of Known Plants, Creatures, and Races
Brique- The cheapest and most plentiful fruit in Vehfirn. It’s a tart and crisp fruit, similar to an apple in feel. Its bright green fruits grow in the center of tube clusters and they’re most widely known for being used in brique cider, the easiest to make, cheapest, and most abundant alcohol in Triala.
Brrzit- The insectoid people which make up part of Vehfirn’s population. Brassy, golden toned exoskeletons and thousands of tiny legs along their centipede-like bodies are their most defining features. They have large eyes, and their ability to speak Triali is limited by their ability to vibrate sounds clearly. Brrzit are widely known for being weavers of clothes for those with good enough sap and stories, but many make a living in Vehfirn by selling their naturally golden and brass clothes and string in the Hallax Quarter.
Corty- The primary pack animals of Triala with long, heavy fur. Herbivores with six-legs and ears like elephants and heads similar to squirrels with elongated, flat-toothed jaws. Their legs are long and thick, with three little fingers on each paw. They are often used in jokes and insults regarding promiscuity due to their excessively high capacity for mating, having almost year-round mating seasons in which they loudly groan searching for mates at all hours of the day. Their noise disturbances are remedied by jzanmah-powered shock collars.
Dorstun- A dwindling race wrought with inbreeding and health issues due to their small population. They have pinkish-red flesh, white hair, wide chins, thin faces, long heads, pits for ears, and weak bones.
Farn- Like pigs, their body transitions from body to head with no neck. They use their downturned noses and droopy mouths to eat grass and refuse. A bowl-like mound of bone extends from the top of their skulls, from between the downturned ears to the blubbery snouts that drip snot. The noises that come from them are as if a chicken bocked with the vocal cords of a pig. Culturally, farns are viewed as more disgusting than pigs are viewed on Earth, but they are so loved for their tasty meat and milk which is used to make cheese.
Fireblood- Undead, soulless creatures which survive by consuming jzanmah from living creatures, often by drinking the blood. They are incapable of using jzanmah. There are many variations that depend on the race of the fireblood, but they are categorized as scouriad and sevoan.
Firebloo (Scouriad)- Less intelligent firebloods that heal intrinsically.
Fireblood (Sevoan)- More intelligent firebloods that require jzanmah to heal.

Grent- White watermelon-shaped roots. Lightly bitter with a minty aftertaste. Used to make clear liquor called mizise, similar to vodka.
Human- In Rhial belief, human is the overarching term for intelligent races which have been acknowledged and accepted by the Elysian Halo.
Jinian- A race of taller, burly hominids. Their defining features are muted green flesh, short tusks, affinity with gravitational sigils due to their robust and stronger form which was enhanced by their early connection to jzanmah. Once the “protectors of Rhial,” they are now fractured and isolated from the rest of the world. Most Trialis have never seen them.
Jokadulg- A beast with a spiked shell, thagomizer, and canine-like head with massive sharp teeth. Foreign to Triala.
Ket- Little rodents with fat bodies and no eyes, known for burrowing through the stone foundation of houses in Rhial with their heavily acidic saliva.
Lonsu- A race of hominids closely related to jorlad. They are different in their angular features, varying amounts of scales in places where hair doesn’t grow, horns, tails, and wings. They have an affinity for thermal sigils and are more resistant to extreme temperatures due to their history of flying and living high in the southern mountains of Peturi. Their relations with the jorlad are poor due to a long history of lonsu using jorlad slaves.
Mau- A nomadic and mysterious race of shapeshifting beings, rumored to be hunted due to their spiritual practices that are kept secret from outsiders. Geren encountered them when he was young, having met a bakhonsu, a rare mau being who travels between lives.
Nyadin- A race of shorter hominids with large craniums and eyes. They have the supernatural ability to share memories with each other through their unique connection to jzanmah. They generally have darker, metallic brown skin tones and hair colors from white to black with little in the ways of natural color, often appearing similar to silver, pearl, or obsidian. Nyadin are regarded highly by the other humans of Rhial. They have affinity for all schools of sigils due to their enhanced connection to jzanmah.
Pomi- A fruit that grows as green bulbs. Inside is pink, soft fruit with a sweet, nectary flavor.
River Rizmumir- Bird-like creatures with taloned feet that curl into cages used for catching fish in their river habitats. They have thin bodies with jagged fins of bone emerging from their backs and webbed arms. They have serrated hooked beaks and massive wings used to propel itself in the air and water. Their lizard like tails with razor-sharp bones running down the length are used like a whip to fight beasts rivaling their size.
Tyranewt- A tasty flower used in teas to assist with digestion. They are thin blue flowers with long stalks that diverge into two spirals of DNA-like petal formations about halfway up.
Yeffen- The most recent addition to humanity. A race of feathered knuckle-walking creatures with powerful bodies, taloned hands, and large toothed beaks. They have heightened senses and an affinity for spectral and sonic sigils due to their unique adaptations of jzanmah.
