Sal: A human of Whitehall. One of Denzig's shadier contacts. Denzig often sells gold to Sal for cash in the back alley of the theater, as legitimate enterprises tend to ask too many questions.
Samessil: An elderly lizard-woman and one of the Seers in High Haven.
Samiel: Current and first female ruler of the lesser infernal kingdom of Kath.
Satyr: (SAY ter, in US English, or SAH ter, in British) In Greek mythology they were represented as a part man, part horse, with the upper body of a man and ears, legs, and tails of a horse. Many depictions portray them with human legs rather than horse legs. In Roman mythology this was often changed to a goat instead of horse, and horns were added, perhaps used interchangeably with the Latin fauns. Satyrs in Elf Mastery have the features of a goat, including the legs and feet, and the ipotane is used to represent the half-man, half-horse.
Satyrs love to carouse with nymphs, and have a reputation for being rude and bawdy, though many of the world's finest vintners are satyrs.
Saul: A satyr who takes an immediate shine to Eunoe, and is quickly rebuffed. However, he develops a fondness for Kyla and her friends and works himself into their plans when he is able. While Saul is an extrovert and self-professed lover of women, he is less aggressive and rude than many of his kind, though his manners still suffer from a lack of proper social education. He has a brilliant mind and is a quick study, picking up talents with little practice and causing Kyla some jealousy. He is an Engineering student at Equinox.
Scarsdale: Once a training barracks for the Elvingaard, it has grown into a small city as the number of soldiers has increased and service industries have moved in. It is the headquarters for the famous Elvingaard army, which answers to no political authority but watches over the Elvish communities in the region
Seaside: A small port located at the Laion Delta, where the Laion River feed into the ocean. Not especially important in itself, it is crucial for the transport of goods from along the Laion River to the much larger trade center across the sea, Port Kess.
Selkie: Selkies are human-like creatures that appear in form as a seal, but can remove their skin to reveal their human-like appearance.
Shadow Travel: One of the abilities Erebus may grant to his followers, Shadow Travel is the ability to travel quickly through darkness. During this phase of travel, the travel becomes shadow, and can travel through even the smallest pieces of darkness. If the light becomes too great, however, they must materialize and travel normally.
Shimaki: (she MA kee) A mysterious and powerful gang leader who plays a large role in the illegal gun trade in Elf Righteous.
Simea: (SIM ee uh) One of the ciguapa in the Tribe of the Fire God.
Sky: A nickname Kyla uses in her interactions with the human underworld in Elf Righteous.
Solsimir: (SOL sim ear) A satyr from Rava Glen.
Sophie: See Sophrosyne.
Sophie's Choice: In Elf Righteous, the name of Sophrosyne's restaurant.
Sophrosyne: (sof ROSS in ee) A mysterious woman in black who carries the scent of moonflowers. Referred to as Sophie in Elf Righteous.
Soul Weaving: The ability to connect (or disconnect) souls from their bodies. A very difficult technique to master, as the soul weaver must be able to intuit the properties of the souls she wishes to tie. Eunoste of Arkwood is a master soul weaver, and used this technique to attach Aspen to Eunoe.
Sprite: A mythical creature often used interchangeably with fairies or elves. In Elf Mastery they are similar to fairies and pixies and exist in types for each element (water sprites, air sprites, etc). Whereas pixies and fairies in Elf Mastery have a history of conflict, sprites have led a comfortable existence with both and may act as moderators between the two should tensions arise. In Elf Doubt, Queen Titania's protégé Aethelwyne is a fire sprite.
Starpoint: A passage along the floor of the Undine. Ymir's shop 'The Wishing Well' is located here.
Steed of Light: Large white horses with constantly flowing manes which can travel at great speeds. Their primary purpose is to pull the chariots that scatter light throughout the solar system so living creatures can see.
Sticks and Stones: A game somewhat similar to bocce, in which nocked sticks and round stones are tossed onto a field. Each player has a one-stick, two-stick, and three-stick, and matching stones. Stones are used to score points, and sticks are used to take away points from opponents. A favorite past-time of Aspen and Eunoe.
Sulafat Station: (SOO la fat) The star known to us as Gamma Lyrae, also Sulafat or Jugum. The name Sulafat is derived from the Arabic word for 'turtle', hence the motif in the story. In Elf Mastery, the stars are actually lighthouses floating on rocks near the Oort cloud, where guards watch for signs of Chaos and his followers. The beacons not only provide some light but also have enchantments and alarms to keep Chaos and his followers from crossing the barrier. Sulafat Station is the post of Dunkin and Linkin.
Svartalfar: See Dusk Elf.
Sventali: (sven TAL ee) Lord of Ja'ava, the capital city of Phlogiston, and the most powerful ruler in the infernal realms.
Samessil: An elderly lizard-woman and one of the Seers in High Haven.
