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!
