Glossary of Terms and Proper Nouns
ahvenge (v.) Act of mortal retribution, carried out typically by a male loved one.
attendhente (n.) Chosen who serves the Scribe Virgin in particularly close manner.
Black Dagger Brotherhood (pr. n). Highly trained vampire warriors who protect their species against the
Lessening Society. As a result of selective breeding within the race, Brothers possess immense physical
and mental strength as weir as rapid healing capabilities. They are not siblings for the most part, and are
inducted into the Brotherhood upon nomination by the Brothers. Aggressive, self-reliant, and secretive by
nature, they exist apart from civilians, having little contact with members of the other classes except when
they need to feed. They are the subjects of legend and the objects of reverence within the vampire world.
They may be killed by only the most serious of wounds, e.g., a gunshot or stab to the heart, etc.
blood slave (n.) Male or female vampire who has been subjugated to serve the blood needs of another.
The practice of keeping blood slaves has largely been discontinued, though it has not been outlawed.
the Chosen (pr.n.) Female vampires who have been bred to serve the Scribe Virgin. They are considered
members of the aristocracy, though they are spiritually rather than temporally focused. They have little or
no interaction with males, but can be mated to Brothers at the Scribe Virgin's direction to propagate their
class. They have the ability to prognosticate. In the past, they were used to meet the blood needs of
unmated members of the Brotherhood, but that practice has been abandoned by the Brothers.
cohntehst (n.) Conflict between two males competing for the right to be a female's mate.
Dhunhd (pr. n.) Hell.
doggen (n.) Member of the servant class within the vampire world. Doggen have old, conservative
traditions about service to their superiors, following a formal code of dress and behavior. They are able
to go out during the day, but they age relatively quickly. Life expectancy is approximately five hundred
years.

the Fade (pr. n.) Nontemporal realm where the dead reunite with their loved ones and pass eternity.
First Family (pr. n.) The king and queen of the vampires, and any children they may have.

powerful being that of a sehcluded female.

Lessening Society (pr. n.) Order of slayers convened by the Omega for the purpose of eradicating the
vampire species.
lesser (n.) De-souled human who targets vampires for extermination as a member of the Lessening
Society. Lessers must be stabbed through the chest in order to be killed; otherwise they are ageless. They
do not eat or drink and are impotent. Over time, their hair, skin, and irises lose pigmentation until they are
blond, blushless, and pale-eyed. They smell like baby powder. Inducted into the society by the Omega,

is not mated.

resentment directed toward the Scribe Virgin. Exists in a nontemporal realm and has extensive powers,
