World of Irith Glossary

 

Irith is a fantasy world created by me, Curtis Berry. Irith contains a lot of new material, such as kingdoms, cities, new races, plant life, and much more. To help you keep track of them, I've created this glossary page.

 

If you see something that you've encountered in Irith that is missing, email me with the information, and I'll try to get it added forthwith.

 

Enjoy!
