L'Teir'Dal Zhaun'ol

(The Teir'Dal Dictionary) An Adaptation of the Drow Tongue for use in Everquest

This dictionary is an adaption of the Drow Dictionary which was assembled from excerpts from "The Drow of the Underdark" by TSR, Inc. and other authorized D&D sources. This is by no means an attempt to rewrite that known as "Drow", only to serve as a reference for use in Everquest by those known as Teir'Dal (Dark Elves). No intent to infringe on any copyright or to plagiarize previous work has been made. Changes from Drow to Teir'Dal include renaming references to Lloth with reference to Innoruuk (as appropriate) and any Drow and D&D specific terms have been removed or modified.

This 2nd Edition Version was HTMLized by Veldrindel with additional content contributions from Cyriex, Dkama, Nymxara, Xxtayce and others of the Fennin Ro server. As with any of these Teir'Dal Dictionaries there may be some slight differences in words that have been modified or newly created. Feel free to edit this wiki page if you think of something else that should be added here.
