The Glossary
Please be warned that if you have not yet read through Land Quest, then there might be some spoilers below. Read at your own risk! Thank You! Administrative Team: The omnipotent group that direct the Grid Managers in how they oversee the infinite system of Grids within the universe. Balance: The state of Good vs. Evil within a dimension. Although it is desired to keep Evil out of all pure dimensions, if Evil does infiltrate, the goal then becomes to maintain the balance of Good and Evil firmly on the side of good. The World Dimension is particularly adept at maintaining this balance. Barrier: The shell that surrounds a dimension, keeping it contained. The manifestation of the Barrier varies from dimension to dimension. Blue Rogue: Sailing vessel in the Land, captained by Anja. Known for its blue sails. Capital City: The center of government in the Land. Located on a platform floating over the lake in the Rivers Region. Cave of Souls: The location of the Mother Tree in the Land, outside of the Mountain Village. Tended to and protected by the Seer of the Land.

Known as a rowdy, rambunctious place that has fallen under the influence of Evil tendencies more rapidly than other parts of the Land. Counterpart: Mirrored souls existing in two different dimensions. Counterparts have incredibly similar appearances and similar characteristics to one another. Like twins, they are separate entities but have a commonality that creates a bond. Dimension: A unique world or concept, encapsulated by a Barrier. Each dimension has its own rules that govern the inhabitants. Dimensions are kept on a Grid, overseen by a Grid Manager. Evil: The entity which seeks to tilt the balance in his favor, creating a failure of the dimension. Craves chaos and destruction, always seeking new dimensions to topple. Fallen Dimension: A dimension that has been overrun by Evil; the balance has tipped in Evil’s favor. The inhabitants are generally killed or turned to Evil’s bidding when this occurs. Grid: The structure on which the dimensions are housed. Each Grid carries a finite number of dimensions. If too many of the dimensions on the Grid fall to Evil, the Grid fails. If one Grid fails, it can cause a cascading event that could lead to the destruction of the universe. Grid Manager: The entity that oversees the Grid to which it is assigned. The Grid Manager is responsible for forming the dimensions on the Grid, housing them, watching for the flux of good and evil. They are assisted by the Interdimensional Fairies.

Their primary function is to protect the integrity of the Barrier, and they have a strong affinity to Oracles.

There is a direct relationship between the Barrier and the Oracle. The Oracle of the Land is the ruler of the people. Oracle Glow: Manifestation of Oracle power. Concentrated in the hands, the power is usually formed into a globe and then utilized as a weapon, transmitter of information, or warning. The color of the glow is specific to the individual Oracle. Prince’s Guard: The militia that is spread throughout the Land, under the direction of the Captain of the Guard. The Captain reports to the Prince of the Land. Prince’s Herd: A group of horses that roam the Land. They answer to no one and are not ridden. Long seen as a symbol of the Land’s health and well being.
