Rolfin's Orb
Book 2 - Spinal
Glossary


Glossary for 2nd of 12 book series Some of the people, foods, places and things mentioned in this glossary will be found in other books in the series. Some will not. Some are merely mentioned in passing and have no important part in the story; however, I included all characters, including animals with names, into this glossary. Some characters will go on to be important in future books, but since they aren’t yet, they’ve been listed in the minor category column
