Prologue
Feistbane (fīst-bān) - A gray, leathery charm used to absorb smells. Such a charm was gleaned from a hunting dog post-mortem and dried. Whether the dried skin was placed on a person or thing, the once sensitive flesh could be used to absorb anything from the strongest to the weakest of scents within its designated vicinity.
Fleur-de-lis (flûr’dǝ-lē’) - Directly translated from French as “Flower of the Lily,” yet often regarding the Iris, this flower is also the symbol of the city of New Orleans, akin to the Holy Trinity, and inherent to French royal aesthetic. It is a rare plant species solely owned and cultivated by the New Orleans royal family, therefore the fleur-de-lis was commonly addressed as extinct. Nevertheless, it was just as commonly appraised for its beauty and magical properties as it was for its rarity. Little is known about the flora, even though it was a common character in the city’s best rumors and legends. Certain accounts suggest that the flower’s properties include curing any and all disease; connecting true-lovers; and granting a world of wishes, however, the royal palace has neither confirmed nor denied any of those claims.
Muting Ring (myōōtĭng rĭng) - An enchanted slab of raw, porous mineral inlaid in a cradle of wrought iron that spanned across two or more knuckles. When activated, the mineral would absorb and hold the very sound of any spoken word that came near to it. Such a device not only silenced speakers but also nullified any magical intents made through the captured sound as well.
