Etymology of terms.

[YianKutku]

The Scholar ability Adloquium is Latin, and means an exhortation or encouragement. The verb form (one of them, anyway) is "adloquor", which means to speak to, to address, or to exhort. It is alternatively written as "alloquium" and "alloquor".

A further root is "loquor", which just means to talk or speak. It's where we get the words "loquacious" and "eloquent" from, for example. Star Trek fans might also be familiar with "locutus", meaning having spoken.

The area where you fight Ozma in the lost city of Mhach is referred to as the gloriole.

I remember first hearing about this on the UK panel show QI. Being QI, they promptly tittered about the pronunciation of "gloriole".

Free Companies and Grand Companies are actually taken from real world history

Interesting; I knew about "free companies" referring to mercenary groups (commonly used in SF&F fiction with the Such-and-such Free Mercenary Company), but didn't know about "grand companies" being the same thing.
