Planar Terminology
This information will include some of the important terms used in relation to the Planar beings within our realm.
Arbitrator, the - the One, the Accord, the Cherish; all terms for the highest Planar; the embodiment of all the Strands; the Strands are an extension of the Arbitrator
Arbitrators - highest of the Planars
Codex - an ancient Planar portfolio containing legends and prophecies; it was stolen from a Planar within the Collegium who held it and it was lost for many years; pages of this tattered portfolio appeared on Shalimar a few decades ago, which led to the Sacred War
Council of All -
Council of Three - Planar council consisting of one each: Guardian, Mediator & Enforcer
Enforcers - best described as the highest of Dark under the Arbitrators; Planars
Gate - entryways into the Planar regions, each is protected/guarded by different means
Guardians - best described as the highest of Light under the Arbitrators; Planars or Kalendre.
HDP - High Destiny Potential; a term used for Primaries (or their offspring) who have had or will have an impact directly/indirectly with the Strand in which they reside; they are watched and looked after by an assigned Sacred/Vanguard/Pioneer
Mediators - best described as the highest of Neutrality/All under the Arbitrators; Planars; they are neither Light or Dark, yet are both
Nether Realm - the area between the Strands; home to many sentient beings; if one travels there unprepared it can cause serious harm
Pioneers - neutral Abitrators assigned to Primaries with High Destiny Potential
Planar - a being who dwells in the energy that makes up the Strands
Planar Children are those born with a Kalendre parent, the father. The mother is someone usually within the Razna on Tei Ekullas. One Planar Child is born every 300 years on Tei Ekullas. The child's birth would coincide with a new age on the planet. It was first believed that same soul was being reborn within every new child. This was later discounted as their lifespans sometimes overlapped. The first birth was believed to have occurred 3,000 years ago. Yet, there is still argument about the numerical translations of the records that had been found. Some believe them to date back as far as 100,000 years ago. (which leads to debates about when colonization first took place).
Planar Children have the ability to map the Strands, making wider and more distant Strand travel possible. When they lived an appropriate amount of years on Tei Ekullas, they return to the realm of their father. Some are then assigned as a recycled soul to a particular Strand or world. (This may be where the Ekullan idea of a Planar Child's reborn soul originated.) It also appears that the Kalendre have been doing this not only on Tei Ekullas but on other worlds and in other Strands as well. How many of these Planar Children exist is not known. Ekullans with the ability to Strand travel can focus on these children as beacons, using them as a focal point into a new Strand.
Primaries - natives of a particular Strand
Primary - term used for home Strand
Sacred - Light Arbitrators assigned to Primaries with High Destiny Potential
Secondaries - term used to specify someone not from the current Strand
Secondary - the Strand closest to an individual's Primary (on any side), different for every Strand, also used for a Strand visited more than or nearly as much as the Primary
Strand - term used for another place, an alternate dimension, or a parallel universe; they are each different according to the distance from the starting, home or Primary Strand; it is possible to travel through several Strands in any direction and still find barely any differences from the home Strand
Triumvirate - the three Planars of each side
Vanguard - Dark arbitrators assigned to Primaries with High Destiny Potential
(The majority of this was written by Suz in 1998 and how she translated what was filtered to her for use in her writing. Most of the definitions are correct, but some of the terms themselves are different. A few of these are switched around as well. This needs to be corrected and expanded.)
