aplustre - (historical, nautical) An ornamental appendage of wood at the stern of a Roman ship, usually spreading like a fan and curved like a bird's feather.

Comfortably resting his back against the bending surface of the tall aplustre, he moved the oar a little and peered into the shimmering spellweave.

gorget - an article of clothing that covered the throat

'The idiot wears a cape around his neck. All I have to do is pull it down with all of my strength to force him to stretch his neck and reveal the gap between the gorget and the helm.

alembic - a distilling apparatus, now obsolete, consisting of a rounded, necked flask and a cap with a long beak for condensing and conveying the products to a receiver.

Countless cables, tendrils, and alembics coming out of the grey-white stone were the only furniture in the room. That and a stone pedestal placed at the very center of the Spark.

Sable - black

When he lashed out with his sword, however, deep wounds were left on the panther's sable hide. Silent Stalker did not seem to pay them any attention.

Seneschal - the steward or major-domo of a medieval great house. A governor or other administrative or judicial officer.

Paradoxically, Cassie's situation was a bit better — Valor was less wary of her, not considering the blind girl a serious threat. While the rest of the Fire Keepers had simply become retainers, she had received the title of a Seneschal — a high-ranking adviser, the position that was second only to the Forgemasters among the non-combatant specialists of the great clan.

ignoble - not honorable in character or purpose

She would have loved nothing more than to slaughter the ignoble hypocrites serving the King of Swords personally, but sadly, her mission was simply to deliver Beastmaster's present to Morgan of Valor, striking both at the enemy's troops and reputation.

millesimal - consisting of thousandth parts; thousandth

Under Zatiel's control, the drones also unleashed energy attacks, and while their individual power was not even a millesimal fraction of a Thearch or Sacred King, they were billions.

plebeian - (in ancient Rome) a commoner

The haughty shadows would wear its usual arrogant look, radiating the "Keep me out of this plebeian conversation, peasant" feeling with its disdainful pose.

comely - pleasant to look at; attractive

The Ivory Island had changed a bit in the past few months. The great pagoda itself was the same, of course, but the comely wooden buildings created by the Fire Keepers now resembled a small, peaceful village that blended harmoniously into the landscape. The ancient trees of the grove now had fruit hanging from their branches, each looking ripe and delicious.

rancor - bitterness or resentfulness

He did not feel much of anything right now, except for deep, dark rancor.

Oneiric is an adjective that describes things related to dreams

Zatiel raised his left hand, from which a golden flame emerged. It began to affect the Emptiness just like the Samsara Truth, but this one did not form a matrix, instead forming an oniric realm where your ego could spend an eternity exploring.

caitiff - a contemptible or cowardly person

Memory Description: [Sybils were the heralds of the gods and conduits of divine grace. Many mysteries were known to them, and so were many truths. There was one being, though, who knew much more — the graceless caitiff, Demon of Dread. He knew every truth there was, because he knew everyone's fear… even that of the gods.

palisade - strong pointed wooden stakes fixed deeply in the ground with others in a close row, used as a defense

The monstrous killer whale cut through the crimson darkness, descending upon the ethereal blossom of flowing white cloth. His mouth opened, revealing a palisade of terrifying fangs. His blue eyes had turned deep red, glowing like spotlights and full of murderous intent.

ziggurat - an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower with a pyramidal structure or a structure or object of similar form

Then, however, the abominations started to pile one on top of another, forming morbid ziggurats of bodies. The ziggurats grew, rising higher and higher as more Nightmare Creatures climbed the ladders made of writhing flesh. Ten meters, then twenty, then thirty… eventually, it became clear that there was a substantial risk that the horde would scale the wall.

​laconically - in a way that uses only a few words

Her face remained as deadpan as ever. She remained silent for a few moments, and then said laconically:

demesne - land attached to a manor and retained for the owner's own use.

It seemed that having the Chained Isles taken away was not enough of a punishment for the willful Saint. Valor had to make a gesture by sending a token force to Antarctica, and so, the White Feather clan had drawn the short straw. It seemed that they had lost their idyllic demesne and were banished to the cold reaches of the war-torn continent, at least for the time being.

mendacious - not telling the truth; lying

The [Mendacious Coffer] enchantment allowed it to mimic the form of any inanimate object, but was limited by Sunny's core capacity. Now that he was an Ascended, the capacity of his cores increased tremendously, so there were a lot of options.
