A Lexicon of the Tapestry

There are a number of terms within the Tapestry whose meaning is shifted from what we are familiar with here on Earth. Because the story thread of On the Outside weaves through three different time periods, this lexicon is broken up into terms that are common to all three, as well as terms that are specific to each.

Common Woven Terms and Concepts

Barrier (n): One of the four types of fringe which mark the outer limits of a realm. Barriers are places where the terrain grows impassable, such as the thick walls of vegetation that ring much of Hanar, as well as the impassible craggy cliffs on either side of Nur.
