Strata: (true, this is also the name describing a type of flat, layered clouds, but the general def. is this): Layers, as in layers of soil and rock (or in this case, worlds).

Escarpa (from "escarpment"): A long cliff or steep slope.

Pergola: A projecting, sheltering roof (which pretty much describes the foliage in that world).

Asthenia: A slow, gradual loss of strength (Pretty much Torin’s physical state after he made it to the phenocryst chamber).

Tenebrous: Dark, obscure, murky (that’s the final world all over).

Tripe (the rude vulture head): The lining of the stomach or intestine (also: worthless. Lovely).

Viscera (the polite vulture head): Inner body organs (not very becoming either, eh?)

Ostracize: Overall, just to banish, exile, etc.

Boogle: Surprisingly, this word has a definition as a mischievous, shape-shifting sprite (similar to a goblin).

Lycentia (from "licentious"): lacking moral restrains, rule-breaking (not a very kind name for such a woman).
