Description
Be warned, this encyclopedia may contain HEAVY SPOILERS about each story if you are reading sections ahead of your current part/chapter.Sections are as follows:
General world:
- Amaishthala - bittersweet fruit, used in a drink with aromatic herbs.
- The Maiden's Cloak - tavern in the Lower Tier.
- Undergrown - tavern in the Middle Tier. Known among Tinies for the service they offer, taking them to the tavern and carrying them back for a very small fee in Tiny equivalent.
- Undergrown (2) - tavern in the Middle Tier, decorated with magnificent wooden carvings resembling trees and plants. Its name is wordplay between the undergrowth of the forest it depicts and the tinies it puts emphasis on. Security is high, both to protect the tinies and to prevent fires. Rumours say the bartenders have several fire hoses behind the bar, ready to be used.
- Second shadow - second hour since the sun has set, though it isn't actually since the sun has set, but counted after the setting (twilight) hours end. [Further reading below, in the Light-shadow hour time keeping system.]
- Firedancer - a type of artist/entertainer. Its activity consists of dancing and making acrobatic movements in the proximity of fire in many forms. Due to its nature, the dance can be either an exhibition of skill or a suggestive show, as a good amount of flesh shown is always a requisite.
Time-keeping system: Light-shadow hours
A system designed to keep time in an unstable day-night cycle, such as Felarya. Through observation of that cycle, the day is split on four time periods. Two of them would correspond to true day and night, times at which the sun is guaranteed to be up or down respectively, and the other two periods would span from the earliest registered sunrise/sunset time to the latest observed ones. Each of these four periods is further divided into hours of their own, for precision purposes. The day period is called the Light hours, the night period is called the Shadow hours, and the variable periods are called Twilight hours. They are further identified as Morning twilight for sunrise, and Noon twilight for sunset.
A day would start with the first Morning twilight hour, and end with the last Shadow hour. The Twilight periods are 5 hours long each, while Light and Shadow periods are 7 hours long. There are minor variations, but the general consensus is a day is 24 hours long. It should also be noted that the Magic University regularly updates the central clock in a bi-monthly basis, the local newspapers reflecting the change for anyone interested in being perfectly on time.
Day breakdown:
Sunrise Day Sunset Night
- First (Morning) Twilight - First Light - First (Noon) Twilight - First Shadow
- Second (Morning) Twilight - Second Light - Second (Noon) Twilight - Second Shadow
- Third (Morning) Twilight - Third Light - Third (Noon) Twilight - Third Shadow
- Fourth (Morning) Twilight - Fourth Light - Fourth (Noon) Twilight - Fourth Shadow
- Fifth (Morning) Twilight - Fifth Light - Fifth (Noon) Twilight - Fifth Shadow
- Sixth Light - Sixth Shadow
- Seventh Light - Seventh Shadow

Part 2
- Felarya's father - a human male constantly suffering what looks like diseases, even in the illness-free world that is Felarya. Word goes about that he is cursed and because of that he doesn't benefit of the healing powers of the soil.
- Felarya's mother - a mixed human female. Beautiful and calm, she is the perfect image of a high-society Negavian woman. She has got hybrid pupils that strongly hold the attention of whoever sets eyes on them, a fascination she uses to her advantage when necessary.
- Theo Riannor - a private doctor to the Mitan family, an offworlder practitioner who came to this world to investigate the magic soil and how it cures illnesses. After taking a liking to the anti-ageing effect of Felarya, he took residence in Negav and was later found and contracted by the Mitan family to deal with the current head's constant sickness. Old-looking male human, his age is now well over the lifespan of his original world.
- Isanwery [Emmanuelle Reishemorth] - a refined, high-class man. Human. He is always invited to the Mitan family parties, and he is rumoured to have a love interest in Felarya Mitan. Or at least a marriage interest.
- Miraia - unknown. A female human. A criminal.

Part 3
- Fem [Fang] - a female human from the Higher Tier, pretty short in stature. Copyneko's host and best friend. She possesses a good amount of businesses fruit of strategic investments of hers and her parents, and keeps a high social status. However, she rarely accepts invitations to parties and is rumoured to prefer the company of adventurers in dirty and crammed taverns. Her fiancé is a high-ranking city guard.
- Night on Fire - a surprisingly popular night show that takes place daily in Negav. It has a herald of its own, something very uncommon, considering that the show itself is free. Its sponsor is unknown, but it is rumoured to be Whisper, since it takes place more frequently in areas of Negav where his influence is high.
- Copyneko - a curious Neko female. She appears to be mute and is always seen being accompanied by someone when in public. In reality, she suffers from an imitation curse that forces her to mimic anyone who talks to her, making her life quite difficult. She has, however, made a few friends that understand those difficulties and help her lead a more normal life.
- Bait - a nickname of Surv. It is unknown if he has more.

Oh my! An encyclopedia for your own fannon material? How inspired!

I'm aware that some parts are hard to follow since they are mentioned briefly or by name only, and not developed since the people taking part on the conversation already know about them. Not a good writing habit in general, but I wanted to try it since it looked more natural to me.
Thanks for the fav, by the way!
