BLack Magician Glossary I remember someone mentioning that we should have a glossary for terms and stuff, but it was never started. So perhaps we could add a few terms? would someone like to make a list?

Yes lorlyn it was me that mentioned it. I think? Ill compile a list starting with the words from the back of the books.
Lorlyn- 04-24-2007
good idea. Then we can expend on it.
Lord Rothen- 04-24-2007
okay, mabye even make a few of our own. Ive got to go now but ill start tommorow.
Lorlyn- 04-24-2007
(okay)
It'll be good to have the lists in the books on the forums anyhow so we don't have to dig for the books everytime we can't remember what it means or wonder about it. We could perhaps make more comments on them to.
I was looking earlier in the book for character names. You wouldn't believe how many minor characters there are. And I looked in the back of the book and there are so many things in that glosseray that we could include in our roleplaying like the brewhouse and bathhouse.
oh oh! Akala! you should expand your bolhouse! maybe a brewhouse.....:)

The Glossary is on Trudi's site :) if you go on the BMT part, without clicking on it, you can see some stuff... unhappily, I can't get on that site from school, where I am right now :( there are many useful things over there... :)

I don't see it. Perhaps when you get home from school you can show use. maybe a screen shot or a link.
