Garonath:
A very fat, (over 400lbs), and mentally immature wizard on Dondar who tried to kill the trio by sending Elementals after them. He was nearly a thousand years old and sustained his youth by means of magic. He died of old age when the unicorns stripped away his rejuvenating spells. His specialty in magic lay in Elementals. As a result, he was known as the Wizard of Forms. After his demise the trio moved into his castle on Dondar.
Gateways:
Also known as Portals. They are rips through the space-time continuum to other worlds in the Diadem. They appear as jagged holes, deep black and cold. Only magic-users and beings of magic can pass through. They form easier in the open air. If a magic-user tries to go through a gateway to a circuit closer to the Diadem core without sufficient magic potential, he or she will be destroyed by a magical overload. Travel has to take place between two adjacent worlds.
Gemstones:
There are twelve gemstones-- ruby, sapphire, onyx, emerald, topaz, jasper, agate, chrysolite, beryl, chrysoprase, jacinth, and amethyst-- that have magic amplifing properties. Magic-users increase their powers by focusing their thoughts and energy through those jewels. Each gem has different amplifing properties. While using gemstones oral communication is disrupted. Once a gemstone has a magic owner it spiritually bonds to them; only that magic-user can use that gem.
Goblins:
Mountain dwelling, disgusting, and not very intelligent, minners on Rawn. They have large bulging eyes, love partying, drinking cola and most of all fighting, (despite their lack of combat skills). They are always covered in dirt and grim from minning since they don’t believe in baths or hygine. They are 4 feet tall, strong for their size, perfectly proportioned, but have “twisted” features. Their faces are wrinkled like dried prunes, have large noses, mouths crammed with crooked teeth, and have hairy, pointed ears. Their hair is short, untidy and shaggy. They dress in tunics and pants, and wear heavy boots. Weapons of choice: pickaxes, staves, thick knives.
Gunther:
Goblin leader on Rawn.
