Andaran atish’an: -- (an-DARE-an AH-tish-awn) a formal elvish greeting. (literally, "enter this place in peace.")

Fen’Harel -- (fenn-hare-ELL) also known as "the Dread Wolf", the trickster god of the old elven pantheon, supposedly responsible for deceiving the other gods into abandoning their people. Roamer of the Beyond, bringer of nightmares.

duster -- a derogatory term used by dwarves to refer to the casteless. "Brand" is also common, referring to the facial brand that casteless must legally wear.


一些精灵和矮人相关词汇，转这个的原因是因为对Shemlen被中文版翻译为“麻瓜”感到很不能忍……
