Shadowing
Shadowing refers to a state of existence in Addewid, where the spirit and body of an Addewin life is reduced to a shadow of itself. This phenonmenon occors when an Addewin body comes in contact with the sands of the Cisgod Desert, which is on the Munev Gorle side of Inniscren.

Smith Triangle Park
Smith Triangle Park is a small triangular park located on the corner of 24th Street and Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It lies directly across the street from the imposing entrance to the Temple Israel Jewish synagog and presents several rows of Earthly pine trees, which stand in stark contrast, if not rebellion against, the urban dynamics of Hennepin Avenue itself, a main artery between the Uptown and downtown areas of Minneapolis.

Species
The most basic, fundamental level of life form found on Earth, with the primary differentiating characteristic being the ability to interbreed, although there are other attributes which can visually and physiologically denote differences between species. On Addewid there is no reproductive aspect to the life forms present there, so other attributes such as spiritual roles, functions of labor and the distribution of Hesbrid's spirit highlight the differences between life forms, in addition to the physical appearance, abilities and spiritual powers.

Spirit Roles in Addewid
There are a number of spiritual roles that are taken on by humans as they become a part of Addewin life and culture. They roles that each indivual takes on are a by-product of several factors: their personalities, their spiritual practices and perspectives on Earth and the circumstances of their lives on Earth.

Role Description
Caller One who uses a gormun flute to command Addewin spirits
Walker One who possesses the ability to "walk" spirits, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel and moving from one connected spirit to another. One of the most important aspects of a "Spirit Caller" is their ability to discern the Addewin name of a spirit. A Walker can give this name to a caller, who will be able to exploit the name with a gormun flute.
Teller A teller of the stories of Addewid and the Henin, and who lead the Ceremonies of Eight-fold Henin Breath Cycle. The stories recited by a teller obtained from Adroth stones to which they have been Blessed.

To become a Teller, the initiate must do three things:
  1. Be prepared for holding (Ceremony of Holding) an Adroth Stone
  2. Procure an Adroth Stone from Cynulliad Mountain
  3. Be bonded to a Adroth Stone via the Ceremony of Telling
Drummer Someone with the skills to control the beat of a drum.
Seer A person skills in the art of oracles and divination systems (such as I Ching, Tarot, Ogham, Ifa, Runes and Obi).

Synchronicity
( O.E.D. ) The simultaneous occurrence of events which appear meaningfully related but have no discoverable causal connection.
Within Addewid, when events occur in time and with respect to each other, are typically not random. They occur due to factors involving:
  1. Specific, intentional actions accomplished by one or more of the Henin, Humans, or any of the creatures created by Cren within Addewid.
  2. The possession and use of leaves from the various Trees found within Addewid. Of greatest importance, with respect to the occurance of events in a synchronistic fashion, where the leaves of the trees from the Seers Groves, which bring together events related to each other, and the Adeg Trees, which affect when (in Time) events occur.
Diviners in Addewid, using a myriad of Divination Systems originating on Earth, would be able to discern whether an event occurred as a result of some act by an individual Addewin, or because of the use of Addewin leaves, or some combination of the two.
