Graticule Graticule is the term for grid lines on a map. The first maps of the Floreskand plateau with credibility were produced at the Madurava House in Lornwater. The Madurava House was made the Centre Prime for all maps that had a graticule. Lines running from Manderon to Ranmeron are called Manran lines. The lines running from Dunsaron to Varteron are called Dunvar lines. During the conflict between Lornwater and the nomadic Hansenand Kellan- Mesqa (1183-1227 AC) it became apparent there was a real urgent need for accurate maps. Being nomadic, the Hansenand knew exactly where they were at all times, but Lornwater forces frequently got lost. Partway through that conflict, in 1212 AC, Dacrove became king of Lornwater and tasked the Madurava House with producing accurate maps of the land to help the military. It took the Madurava Sisters many years to map out the full plateau. It was because of these more accurate maps that Lornwater's military became very successful.

Airmous Airmous is the name of one of the thirteen female giants in Kellan-Mesqa mythology. In the night sky, she is represented as the thirteenth Inner Ring constellation, which is composed of seven stars. Her name is also used for the thriteenth month of the Arisan calendar.

Agrastna A rodent that varies in colour from tawny to black with lighter underparts. It has coarse hair, which is longer on the hindquarters. This hair is raised when the animal is alarmed. The head is rat-like, with large pink ears. The agrastna can reach 4 lacmarks in length, with a short hairless tail and long legs. Agrastnas are abundant in forest and wooded areas throughout central and ranmeron Floreskand. Wild agrastnas are nocturnal and spend the day in holes in the ground or in larger burrows or under the roots of trees. They are shy and highly strung, fighting fiercely among themselves, yet fleeing in panic at the first sign of danger, hence their name, which is Kellan-Mesqa for ‘contrary.’ Despite these conflicting natures—fighting and fleeing—agrastnas are easily tamed and make affectionate pets (very popular pets with the Aquileja) and due to relative safety, they cease to be nocturnal. In exceptional circumstances, they may live for 20 years, but 8 years is the norm in the wild. They are mainly vegetarian, browsing on leaves, fallen fruit and roots. They are delicate eaters, sitting back on their haunches and holding their food in the fore feet and, if it has a tough skin, peeling it carefully with their teeth before eating it. They breed all year round, and the litters number from 2 to 6. Agrastnas are the basic diet of carnivores, and in Tarakanda they are a common food in the forested areas.
