VOICE: A Druid art or skill that compels the person it’s being used on to precisely obey the letter of whatever command is issued. Both the Lord Master and Barrons have used this on me. It’s terrifying. It shuts down your will, and makes you a slave. You stare helplessly out from your own eyes and watch your body doing things your mind is screaming at you not to do. I’m trying to learn it. At least to be able to resist it, because otherwise I’ll never be able to get close enough to the Lord Master to kill him, and get vengeance for Alina.

AN GARDA SIOCH’NA: In Dublin, garda, or on garda shee-a-conna. Outside Dublin, gardee.

CRAIC: Crack.

CUFF OF CRUCE: Like the cruc in crucify.

DRUI: Dree.

FIRBOLG: Fair bol ugh.

LEABHAR GABHALA: Lour Gow ola (lour like flower, Gow like cow).

Irish pronunciations obtained from sources in Dublin at the Garda and Trinity. Any errors in pronunciation are mine.
