Borderlands—the
alternate world of the märchénłinġs, divided into sectors based on the nature
of a märchénłinġ's Tale. The Borderlands are also made up of five different
regions: the Borderwoods, a huge forest which covers the majority of the
Borderlands; the Deeps, the ocean which lies on the Borderlands' east boundary;
the Outlands, a desert-waste full of small oasis-sectors, that surrounds the
Borderlands on three sides; the Neverisles, which high float above certain
eastern sectors and spread out across the Deeps; and the Underrealms, which run
the length of the Borderwoods and into parts of the Outlands.
Bürkénnė
märchénłinġ—someone whose Tale has undergone bürkénnäġ; a being, normally a human but sometimes a standard märchénłinġ, who has undergone the
transformation of bürkénnäġ;
translates literally as "Broken märchénłinġ."
Bürkénnäġ—the
event of a Tale's strands breaking apart; this event usually transforms those
who survive the unraveling of the Tale into bürkénnė
märchénłinġs; translates into English literally as "Breaking"
Chéntäyłe—the
mark indicative of what story a märchénłinġ
comes from; in English, "tale-tell"
Märchénłinġ—a
being known in English as a Tale or Old Tale; literally “denizen of a story set
in Faerie”
Märchünné—the
aura of power that surrounds a märchénłinġ
Märkŷnth
blade—a poisoned knife or dagger that can kill any märchénłinġ; the poison
unravels the threads of their Tale and unmakes them completely. This is
considered a heinous crime by most märchénłinġ. A hunter will never carry a
märkŷnth blade.
Pajzümæsträ—the
highest form of authority in the Borderlands; the police; commonly called
"pagemaster."
Pønnchénkrä—the
fruit or vegetable that holds an important role in a story, such as the
poisoned apple in "Little Snowdrop" or the radishes in
"Rapunzel"
Üştŷrmǽ—the
special material that makes up the enchanted weapons and objects in many Tales,
such as Cinderella's slippers or Prince Charming's magical sword or the Wicked
Queen's magic mirror on the wall
