Outer Tilog's Dictionary

  • Abracadabra: usually something you find in children's books; though ours comes from a song: I wanna reach out and grab ya, when we are short of human meat.
  • Admiral: something I wanna be some day, but before that we have to conquer some more regions, being admiral on a lake is not the same.
  • Alliance: the union of two thieves who have their hands so deeply inserted in each other's pockets that they cannot separately plunder a third. That’s the reason we are going to cut off the hands of our allies first.
  • Altar: the place whereupon the priest formerly raveled out the small intestine of the sacrificial victim for purposes of divination and cooked its flesh for the Dark One. We haven't been using it lately, I hope He will not get angry.
  • Back: that part of your ally which it is your privilege to put a dagger in.
  • Boots: The legs of the one to be tortured, are put between two planks of wood, bended together with cords, between which are wedges, and make them enter by blows of a hammer to squeeze the legs. The torturer, Judge Despyria uses a large, heavy hammer to pound the wedges, driving them closer together. At each strike, the inquisitor repeats the question. The wedges lacerate flesh and crush bone, sometimes so thoroughly that marrow gushes out and the legs are rendered useless... The bones of the legs do crack and fall in pieces when they are unloosed; and those who undergo this torture, die usually a little time after.
  • Diplomacy: (1)Making treaties to be broken at the most convenient time. See "friend." (2)A kind of Dip (Dip-Lomacy) that is rumored to go great with both Giblets and Lukonites. (3)Traditionally, the act of soothingly saying "nice doggie," while looking about for a large stick. In Outer Tilog, however, it is advised to skip the stick altogether and substitute a mailed fist, mace, or ballista if you have one handy... our dogs typically have six-inch fangs and hearty appetites.
    • What's that you say? I'm terribly sorry about that transcription error. Outer Tilogian dogs have sixteen-inch fangs.
  • Friend: An unknowing fool who is ripe for betrayal. See also "sucker", "dupe", "victim", "loyal"
  • Frock (frok) - A frock is a specially engineered semi-intelligent mineral generally found in mountainous regions of Outer Tilog. These sadistic rock-like creatures hunt in packs, lying silently in wait for unsuspecting prey to pass by. Upon sighting their prey, the pack will shift and slide around in an attempt to trip their prey on the unstable terrain. Particularly violent frocks will even leap up and bite at their victim's knees. Curiously, frocks do not seem to feed on their victims' blood or flesh, though they have been known to cause considerable wounds. Frocks seem to gain sustenance by causing frustration in their prey, and damaging what they can - be it wagons, machinery, or simply egos. It is theorized that this is the origin of their name, being a concatenation of the curse "Friggin Rock!"
  • Interrogation: head crusher, thumbscrew and...
  • Phone(Plate of Heads Or Necks to be Eaten): A true OT delicacy, usually served with Giblet fingers and a side of terror.
