for all
fey is the Ceradonian word for our "gay".
Gift when capitalized is used to refer to a magical ability or skill. This also applies to words such as See, Read, Touch; when a word like that is capitalized in the middle of a sentence, this means that it implies that the action was completed with the use of magic. Seeing can be used for when one Sees a Prophecy, and Touching might be used when someone has a poison or cursed touch, and they touch someone with either their physical self or with their magic.

usari is a Wyeshing word meaning "male bride", though the term is mainly in use in certain tribes and is rarely used within the actual cities. Usari are raised from birth to be female-like. Extensive training is given until the boy reaches the age of eighteen (age may vary slightly by tribe) in which case the boy will be married off for a generous sum. There are some who say that the true customs of the usari are being lost as the tribes fall victim to raids. However, this hasn't stopped some speciality 'shops' within Wyeshing trying to fabricate them and pass them off as authentic.
Honorifics:wyen is like the Japanese honorific of sama. It is used mainly to refer to people much higher in rank than oneself, toward one's customers, and sometimes toward people one greatly admires. When used to refer to oneself, wyen expresses extreme arrogance. Wyen is placed after the surname of the person in question --the person your character is speaking to.
fyen is like the Japanese honorific for san, it is the most common honorific and is a title of respect similar to "Mr.", "Miss", "Mrs.", or "Ms." Fyen is placed after the surname of the person in question --the person your character is speaking to.
sen is like the Japanese honorific for chan and kun. It expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. Thus, using chan with a superior's name would be condescending and rude. In general, chan is used for babies, young children, and teenage girls. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, or any youthful woman. It can also be used by persons of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status, or by anyone when addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time.
