Note on Standard Usage

Quite a number of contributors to Project Aon have reported inconsistencies regarding the use of words such as Drakkar across the series. After much research into the usage of Drakkar/Drakkarim, Nadziran/Nadziranim, and Ligan/Liganim across the books, we have decided to standardise the usage of the words in the following ways, which represent majority usage:

  • noun (s.): Drakkar
  • noun (pl.): Drakkarim
  • adj: Drakkarim
  • noun (s.): Nadziran
  • noun (pl.): Nadziranim
  • adj: Nadziranim
  • noun (s.): Ligan
  • noun (pl.): Liganim
  • adj: Liganim

All of the other words ending in -im either already conform to these rules (i.e. gazim, kuzim, lajakim, rekenarim, Sharnazim, and Tefarim) or cannot be conclusively tied to Darkland languages (e.g. Ghagrim).

Note on Adjusted Combat Statistics

Some enemies in this book have had their statistics altered in accordance with the Collector's Edition to balance the game. Here is a table to show which enemies have been altered.
