Bloodwardens

Glossary Terms
Borderlands
The Borderlands are dangerous frontier regions where roads, villages, watch posts, and rift threats meet. They are ideal settings for patrols, desperate defense, monster hunts, and stories of ordinary courage.
Champion
A Champion or Gate Lord is a powerful enemy associated with a rift or Demon Gate. Such beings often stabilize the gate area and must be defeated or contained before a breach can truly close.
Chronicler
A Chronicler preserves names, deeds, places, songs, and fragments that might otherwise be lost. In Teutarya, chroniclers are not only record keepers; they help carry memory through darkness.
Chronicles
The Chronicles are written fragments, lore entries, character records, and narrative pieces connected to Teutarya. They do not replace the songs, but give the world behind them more structure, history, and atmosphere.
Corruption
Corruption is the substance, influence, or spiritual pressure that seeps through rifts and broken places. It can taint land, beasts, people, memory, and even rituals that were once meant to protect.
Counter-Realm
A Counter-Realm is a general term for an opposing or otherworldly sphere beyond ordinary Ardanor. The Infernum is the most important known counter-realm, but the term leaves room for other metaphysical boundaries.
Court of the Bloodnight
The Court of the Bloodnight is a vampiric order that gathers bloodlines, night-bonds, hunting rights, servants, and influence under a colder aristocratic structure. It is powerful, secretive, and not identical with all vampires.
Crossing
A Crossing is the act or event of passing through a rift, gate, or weakened boundary. In Teutarya, crossings are rarely harmless; they often mark the start of corruption, invasion, or irreversible change.
