* [[Aetheria]] - Although [[wikipedia:Aether theories|hypotheses of the aether]] vary somewhat in detail they all have certain characteristics in common. Essentially aether is considered to be a physical medium occupying every point in space, including within material bodies. A second essential feature is that aether's properties give rise to the electric and magnetic phenomena and determines the propagation velocity of their effects. Therefore the speed of light and all other propagating effects are determined by the physical properties of the aether at the relevant location, analogous to the way that gaseous, liquid and solid media affect the propagation of sound waves. The aether is considered the over-all reference frame for the universe and thus velocities are all absolute relative to its rest frame.

* [[Alembic]] - An [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alembic alembic] is an alchemical still consisting of two retorts connected by a tube. Technically, the alembic is only the upper part (the capital or still-head), while the lower part is the cucurbit, but the word was often used to refer to the entire distillation apparatus. The word "alembic" has taken on a metaphorical meaning - anything that refines or transmutes, as if by distillation - as in "the alembic of creative thought."

* [[Unicorn of Grace|Chiran-Tou, the Unicorn of Grace]] - Qilin, also spelled Kirin, is a mythical hooved Chinese chimerical creature known throughout various East Asian cultures. The qilin is sometimes called "the Chinese unicorn". it is a hybrid animal that looks less unicorn than chimera, with the body of a deer, the head of a lion, green scales and a long forwardly-curved horn. The Japanese version (kirin) more closely resembles the Western unicorn, even though it is based on the Chinese qilin.

* [[Empyrean]] - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empyrean Empyrean], from the Medieval Latin empyreus, an adaptation of the Ancient Greek, "in or on the fire (pyr)", properly Empyrean Heaven, is the place in the highest heaven, which in ancient cosmologies was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy).

* Geomancy, [[Laedron the Geomancer]], [[Nomendar al-Rakh]], [[Node-Leech's Orders]] - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy Geomancy] (from Greek geōmanteia< geo, "earth" + manteia, "divination"; a calque of Arabic ‘ilm al-raml, "the science of sand"), is a method of divination that interprets markings on the ground, or how handfuls of soil, dirt or sand land when someone tosses them.  Geomancy in western tradition requires no instruments and no calculations; it is based solely on the human propensity for pattern recognition. Modern methods of geomancy include, in addition to the traditional pen-and-paper or sand methods, using geomancy cards, random number generators, or thrown objects. Geomancy formed part of the required study of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the late 19th century, and also survives in modern occult practice.

* '''Heliotropic''' - The property of some plants of turning under the influence of light; either positively (towards the light) or negatively (away from the light). ([[Ancient Falatacot Trinket]])

* '''Hermetic''', [[Pearl of Hermetic Linking]], [[Hermetic Link (Spell)]] - The word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic hermetic] is commonly applied to literary or graphical symbolism that is exceedingly obscure, convoluted, or esoteric. In that context, and not in any other context, hermeticism is the deliberate use of hermetic imagery.
*[[Kemeroi]]- Possibly from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Km_(hieroglyph) Egyptian hieroglyph]  "km iri ('to make an end')", but there are [https://www.reddit.com/r/AsheronsCall/comments/j4a9bn/asherons_call_etymology/g7ikapl?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 arguments against this interpretation]. 

* [[Ley Line]], [[Shattered Lines]] - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line Ley lines] are hypothetical alignments of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient monuments and megaliths. The ley lines and their intersection points are believed by some to resonate a special psychic or mystical energy, often including elements such as geomancy, dowsing or UFOs, stating that, for instance, UFOs travel along ley lines (in the way that one might observe that cars use roads and highways). This belief postulates that points on lines have electrical or magnetic forces associated with them.

* [[Mnemosyne Collection Site]], [[Titanic Dericost Mnemosyne]], [[Rytheran's Mnemosyne]] - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemosyne Mnemosyne] was the personification of memory in Greek mythology. This titaness was the daughter of Gaia and Uranus and the mother of the Muses by Zeus. In Hesiod's ''Theogony'', kings and poets receive their powers of authoritative speech from their possession of Mnemosyne and their special relationship with the Muses.

* [[Mount Lethe]] - In Classical Greek, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethe Lethe] literally means "forgetfulness" or "concealment". It is related to the Greek word for "truth": a-lethe-ia, meaning "un-forgetfulness" or "un-concealment". In Greek mythology, Lethe is one of the several rivers of Hades: those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness.

* [[Oubliette Portal Gem]] - An [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oubliette oubliette] (from the French oubliettes) was a form of dungeon which was accessible only from a hatch in a high ceiling. To exit an oubliette was nearly impossible without outside help. The word comes from the same root as the French oublier, "to forget," as it was used for those prisoners the captors wished to forget. Most prisoners were left to die of starvation. Another form of oubliette was a shelf in a long steeply sloping tunnel leading down to the moat or to the sea. Once cast down the tunnel, a victim would either slowly starve or cast themselves further down to drown.
*[[Sho]]- [https://www.reddit.com/r/AsheronsCall/comments/j4a9bn/asherons_call_etymology/g7itlqb?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Possibly] from [https://translate.google.com/?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS918US918&sxsrf=ALeKk02M6mpZZYZmPo2fvJGtj71IB_25mg:1601757260545&biw=1858&bih=977&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&client=tw-ob#en/zh-CN/hand Mandarin for hand].

* '''Theodolite''', [[Sins of the Fathers#Teaser - Link|Sins of the Fathers Teaser]], [[The Breaking of the Crystal Core]] - A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodolite Theodolite] is an instrument for measuring both horizontal and vertical angles, as used in triangulation networks. It is a key tool in surveying and engineering work, particularly on inaccessible grounds, but theodolites have been adapted for other specialized purposes in fields like meteorology and rocket launch technology. A modern theodolite consists of a movable telescope mounted within two perpendicular axes, the horizontal or trunnion axis, and the vertical axis. When the telescope is pointed at a desired object, the angle of each of these axes can be measured with great precision, typically on the scale of arcseconds.

* [[Tuatara Plains]] - The tuatara is a reptile endemic to New Zealand which, though it resembles most lizards, is actually part of a distinct lineage. The two species of tuatara are the only surviving members of its order, which flourished around 200 million years ago. Their dentition, in which two rows of teeth in the upper jaw overlap one row on the lower jaw, is unique among living species. They are further unusual in having a pronounced [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_eye parietal eye], dubbed the "third eye", whose current function is a subject of ongoing research. The name "tuatara" derives from the Māori language, and means "peaks on the back".

* [[Ziggurat]] - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat Ziggurats] were huge pyramidal temples built in the ancient Mesopotamian valley and western Iranian plateau, having the form of a terraced step pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. There are 32 ziggurats known at, and near, Mesopotamia.
