Introduction
According to some sources, the word thesaurus is synonymous with treasury. That definition is especially
fitting for this book, which departs from the typical alphabetical thesaurus with its closely-linked synonyms,
and instead provides groups of words for storytellers who are groping for just the right idea. This book is
less about technical accuracy and etymology and more about helping authors to craft a setting, envision a
character, or unfold a scene.
Every author reaches a point in a writing project (usually at about 66,000 words of a 100,000 word manuscript) at which shed like to conjure up an out-of-control city bus to careen down a forest path, flatten her
group of fantasy heroes, describe their gelatinous remains, and gleefully write the words The End. This
book is for moments like that.
This book is also for those moments when everything sounds like a clich, when every fantasy story contains
a hooded stranger in a tavern, and when all the villains and monsters in all types of fiction suddenly sound
like two-dimensional cardboard rip-offs of the mustached bad guys tying young damsels to railroad tracks
in black-and-white melodramas. This book is for those moments when nothing appearing on the computer
screen sounds any good. This book is about inspiration.
We rarely know where inspiration comes from, so without a roadmap or a clearly defined formula, this book
might be the next best thing. It is designed to trigger ideas, to link concepts not normally linked, and to
familiarize authors with places and things outside their daily lives. It is also meant to remind us of interesting
things we dont think about very often. This book might remind an author of Grandmas rhubarb pie and
inspire a character with a passion for rhubarb; it might help an author in a warm climate write about snow;
and it might suggest an unusual hobby or phobia that subtly motivates an emerging hero. By using a mix-andmatch selection throughout this book, endless combinations are possible for settings and characters, such as
the nephew of an archbishop who works as a gymnastics coach, wears suspenders, and collects antique hat
pins. This book is designed to offer a multitude of choices to solve a multitude of writing problems.
Introduction
The Storytellers Responsibility: Research
Like any treasury, some things will be familiar and some will not. For unfamiliar items, research is essential in
order to incorporate new objects and ideas correctly. A fiction story from a slush pile many years ago comes
to mind that illustrates the pitfalls of research. This story was filled with details of a Persian setting, and the
author did a nice job of establishing the flavor of the environment. But the scene fell apart when a character
took a bite from a pomegranate. The author had researched his setting well enough to understand that
pomegranates were native to the region he was describing, but he had not gone far enough to understand
that no one would take a bite from a pomegranate. The leathery skin and thick pith surrounding the juicy,
edible seeds would make that almost impossible, not to mention messy. (This was in the days before the
internet and before the pomegranate health-food craze.) Authors owe it to their work to make their word
choices carefully and select words that fit well.
Research goes beyond understanding what an item looks like, feels like, and tastes like. It also means researching the way an item fits into society, the time period, and the geography. It means being mindful of a
number of circumstances.
Society: We all know that social norms dictate a great deal about language, dress, manners, and cus-
toms. When considering unfamiliar terms, bear in mind that different occasions require different conventions, and some words vary in acceptability in different regions or countries. The word fanny, for example,
is acceptable in polite company in the United States, but in parts of England, it refers not to the back of a
girl, but the front of a girl, and its mention in certain situations may raise eyebrows. A few extra minutes of
research can help avoid such stickiness.
Time Periods: Characters in the late 1970s did not spend an evening at home with a movie rental
(video stores did not exist yet), and doctors treating patients sick with the plague in the middle ages did not
wash their hands (the communication of diseases was not understood). All kinds of styles and fads come
and go, and in order to be authentic, authors need to immerse themselves in their time periods. Likewise,
language changes over time as phrases gain and lose popularity, and can effectively enhance a setting or show
a reader that the author has not done his homework.
Geography and Climate: We all know that trees dont grow in Antarctica, and most people
probably know that palm trees dont grow in Wisconsin. But its less obvious that very few azalea bushes grow
in Wisconsin, armadillos do not live in Minnesota, and grass lawns are not the norm in Arizona. Likewise,
the peaks of the Rocky Mountains are not covered in trees due to the high altitude. Some research is needed
to put things in their proper places and make a setting realistic. And while it might be tempting to fill a garden scene with crocuses, clematis, and chrysanthemums, it will show that the author didnt do her research.
Crocuses bloom in early spring, clematis blooms in summer, and chrysanthemums bloom in autumn. Even in
a fantasy setting, readers expect a certain consistency that makes sense.
Form and Function: Just like the pomegranate example, its important to understand concepts
that are unfamiliar. An author who selects a halberd as a characters weapon first needs to realize that a
halberd is a broad blade on a long pole. The author had better not write about a character slipping a halberd
into his boot, and such a weapon will influence the characters fighting style. Because a halberd is difficult to
conceal, it may pose problems in tight quarters or draw attention. Authors need to consider the long-term
big picture when selecting armor, weapons, equipment, occupations, character traits, and so on.
Nuance of Language: Because the categories in this book are broad, many words listed for a cat-
egory are not exact synonyms and are instead cousins, stepchildren, or friends of the family of those words. The
entry for easy, for example, contains the words painless and tranquil. A chemistry exam might be described
as painless or a fishermans mood might be described as tranquil, but the words are not interchangeable. Its
important for authors to understand the words they choose and ensure that they convey the proper intent.
Introduction
fiction, or other copyrighted sources. Those concepts are owned by their authors, publishers, producers, and
movie studios. In this thesaurus, every effort was made to omit ideas that are intellectual property; to do
otherwise could give the impression that use of those ideas is freely accessible.
Public domain material, however, is incorporated throughout this book. Public domain works are those
publications whose copyrights have expired (or never existed), making them fair game for storytellers.
The concept of a basilisk, for example, originates in classical mythology; it is not owned by anyone and it
is free to use. In general, works printed in the United States prior to 1923 are considered public domain,
but for works more recent than 1923, the rules vary greatly. Copyright law varies from country to country
as well, and exceptions do exist, so careful research is recommended before incorporating material that
might be under copyright.
Curse Words and Inappropriate Language: Vulgarities and curse words are not included in this thesaurus. Such words should be chosen carefully and with purpose, and they were not included
in this book so as not to give the illusion of an endorsement.
Likewise, gender and racial slurs are also omitted. These words need to be selected with a purpose in mind and
with consideration of the time period in which they are used. Such terms should be incorporated only after
serious and thoughtful deliberation, and should serve a purpose, make social commentary, or illustrate certain
traits about a character.
A Whisper of Encouragement
As storytellers, we face many pitfallswriters block, stale prose, clichs, cardboard characters, repetition,
and our own personal writing flaws. Our hope is that during those times when the muses of legend are not
whispering brilliant prose into our ears, this book will serve as a dependable substitute for those fickle muses.
We hope it provides inspiration and motivation in order to reduce the storytellers perspiration.

Species
USAGE NOTE: All humans belong to the same species. Dwarves, elves, gnomes, giants, and
others would be considered separate species in most settings. Dwarves, elves, gnomes, and certain others are commonly considered to be on equal footing with humans as far as characteristics
and abilities.
The term humanoid does not describe a single species, but describes creatures with humanlike shape but
which exhibit certain degrees of animalistic or untamed qualities in physical characteristics, intelligence, or
other attributes. Each type of humanoid may be an individual species depending upon the setting.
Authors must determine the parameters of each species in their setting, the evolutionary relationships between the species, and any subspecies.
Dwarf: cave, cavern, hill, dark, duergar, mountain, shadow
Elf: aquatic, arboreal, dark, desert, gray, forest, half, high, jungle, primitive, shadow, star, tree, wild, wood
Gnome: forest, hill, jungle, lost, meadow, mountain, river, vale
Human Races, Fictional: Abarimon, Abatwa, Atlantean, Blemmyes, changeling, Cyclops, Lep-
Chapter 1
Humanlike Groups: giant (cloud, fire, frost, hill, mountain, sky, stone, storm), goblin, hobgoblin,
Human Groups
USAGE NOTE: At one time, humans were described in terms of three races: black (Negroid),
yellow (Mongoloid), and white (Caucasoid). This classification was replaced by narrower categories comprising Black (Sub-Saharan Africa), Brown (South Asians), Red (Native American),
Yellow (East Asian), and White (European). In modern times, however, DNA studies have revealed no scientific racial distinctions among humans, and the term race is becoming obsolete.
Scientists no longer divide the human species into races since no clear biological borders exist
between groups. Current trends divide humans based upon ethnicity or populations, and ethnic
groups are often subdivided by nationality, tribe, or location.
Authors need to be diligent about research in describing human groups and should take care to
use terminology that is correct in historical contexts. Hundreds of ethnic groups have been documented; this number increases exponentially when mixed-ethnicity individuals are included.
The list that follows is a sampling of some of the more prominent groups.

alternated with kneading and shaping.

the time period and culture. In the sections that follow, weapons and armor are divided into Pre-1900 and
Post-1900 lists. This helps to divide objects into approximate modern and antique categories.
Resources: In fiction, some liberties may be taken with armor and weapons as long as those liberties
are plausible. The invention of entirely new weapons is reasonable depending upon available resources.
Consider the climate and setting when inventing objects. In a desert setting in which trees are scarce, such
as ancient Egypt, weapons are likely to be made of metal or stone rather than wood. In an arctic climate,
inhabitants are not likely to have access to metal deposits, so bone tools and weapons might be common.
Technology Level: Weapons and armor changed dramatically over time depending upon techno-
logical advances. The earliest weapons were rocks and sticks. Weapons then evolved as sticks were sharpened and hardened in fire, and stones were chipped or split to form axes and arrow points.
A cultures technology level will impact its objects. Even in the presence of great iron, copper, or other metal
deposits, a culture will need the means to excavate those metals and work them into tools and weapons. This
implies some level of competence in smelting, smithing, and forging.

are enlarged. Two-handed swords were typically carried not in a sheath, but strapped across the back
or shoulders. One of their uses was to break an enemys pike or pole arm before assaulting the wielder.
USAGE NOTE: A flame-bladed sword or flambard is not on fire; rather, it refers to a blade that

Handguns/Pistols
USAGE NOTE: The historical definition of a pistol is a gun that can be held in the hand. The
category has shifted in modern times and is currently considered a semi-automatic handgun.
According to traditional usage, a dueling pistol, two-shot derringer, and a revolver could all correctly be called pistols. The choice of terminology will depend upon the time period of the setting.
Derringer: ladies gun, muff pistol, Philadelphia Deringer, purse gun, stocking gun
USAGE NOTE: Derringers hold one to four bullets depending upon the model. The spelling
of Deringer with one r is a brand name produced from 1852 to 1868. The spelling derringer is
genericized and was adopted by competitors; currently, it refers to small-scale handguns.

Herbaceous Plants
USAGE NOTE: Herbaceous plants have stems and leaves that die down to the ground in the
fall. They may be annuals (living only one season), perennials (returning each spring for an indefinite number of seasons), or biennials (living for two seasons, in which the plant remains low
and leafy in the first season and becomes taller and flowering in the second season).
USAGE NOTE: The distinction between an annual plant and a perennial plant is sometimes
a matter of geography; some plants are considered perennials in warm climates but are grown as
annuals in cold climates since they are unlikely to survive the winter.

USAGE NOTE: The plants listed above are considered poisonous for a variety of reasons.
Some are poisonous only in part; for example, in some plants, only the bulb, flower, or fruit is
dangerous. Some species are dangerous only at certain times in their growth cycle.
A distinction should also be made between plants that are poisonous and those that are toxic.
Poisonous plants cause illness or death through ingestion. Toxic plants are those that cause a
rash or other reaction through touch. When including any of these plants in a fictional setting,
research is required to describe their effects properly.

another gardeners treasure. A lawn might look pretty in the spring sprinkled with bright yellow
dandelions, but to a golf course groundskeeper, a dandelion is an intruder. The list above includes
plants that are frequently regarded as weedsbut they might not be weeds to everyone. Even
useful plants can be considered weeds in the wrong settingin the Midwest, for example, war
is being waged against garlic mustard, an edible salad green that has become an invasive species
and crowds out native plants. Climate also drives the determination of a weed; in cold climates,
certain plants are kept in check, but in warmer zones, those same plants might grow uncontrolled. When referencing weeds, consider the climate and placement of these plants.

Trees
USAGE NOTE: Many trees are known by multiple names that are dependent upon location
and source. The same tree might be known by different names in different regions; research is
essential to determine the correct name in a given setting. Likewise, spellings (especially hyphenation) vary by source. Users need to determine the appropriate spelling for their situation and
remain consistent.

Chapter 11
USAGE NOTE: Official names of all celestial bodies are approved and maintained by the
International Astronomical Union (IAU). It administers several naming systems for various astronomical objects.
USAGE NOTE: More than 9,000 asteroids have been named. Asteroids receive a sequential
designation number and are then eligible for an assigned name. The alphabetical list of asteroid
names above is a short sample of typical names. Naming rules are fairly broad and thus result in
whimsical or honorary names such as those seen in the preceding list (a sample from approximately 1,000 asteroids named for individuals). Names from mythology dominate the overall list.

many angels derive from many different religions and are written in many languages, spellings
also vary widely. Sometimes a single letter distinguishes one angel from another, and sometimes
a variant spelling can create confusion between a good angel and a fallen angel. Careful research
from reputable sources is needed to identify angels correctly.

Monsters
USAGE NOTE: Lycanthropy is generally considered to be a fictitious disease transmitted through the
bite of an infected individual. The victim suffers an unwilling transformation into an animal form, usually
triggered by the full moon. The most common forms of lycanthropy in fiction and movies are canines
and felines, but other creatures have also been adapted to lycanthropy, including pigs, pythons, rats, and
ravens. The nature of lycanthropy varies widely in literature; in some cases, transformation can occur
on demand, and in some lore, the individual retains memory and thought processes while transformed.

USAGE NOTE: Almost any object might be imbued with the ability to provide magical trans-
portation, from a feather or ring to a cloak or footwear. Such objects should be designed with
the resources available to the creator in mind. Similarly, creatures or characters might possess
an innate or magical ability such as teleportation, flight, or the ability to change into smoke.
Elemental travel is the ability to travel great distances via clouds, earth, fire, lava, trees, or water
(or similar objects) by stepping into a substance, such as a campfire or pool of water, and exiting
via another source of fire or water.
Chapter 17
In addition to helpful or beneficial effects, magical objects might also be imbued with curses. When designing magical objects, remember that these items might carry beneficial as well as harmful (cursed) effects, and
might even carry both.

item, tome, vorpal blade, wand, weapon; See also the chapters Equipment and Tools; Combat, Armor, and
Weapons; Clothing; and Legendary, Mysterious, and Mythical Items and Locations
Animated Items: These objects have the power to act on their own and can be designed to attack,
defend, guard, spy, dance, sing, entrap, communicate, or perform any other specific purpose. They tend to
be extremely rare and are sometimes imbued with intelligence. Select an appropriate item and define the
specific parameters of its animation, including when and how the item is activated or deactivated.
Designing Spells
Spell design is similar to object design. In theory, any spellcaster is capable of inventing a new spell. The
power of the spell should relate to the ability of the caster. An apprentice wizard might be able to invent a
spell to blow leaves away or repel mosquitoes, but likely isnt skilled enough to generate a tornado or block a
raging dragon. Similarly, a wizard might work to build a new spell from one she already knows; a spellcaster
who can repel mosquitoes might try to invent a new spell to repel bees, birds, rats, or eventually, a stampede
of bison or antelope.
Spellcasters often learn spells from other casters, such a a mentor, or from a spellbook or scroll. The individual fantasy world will determine the parameters for learning and using spells; in some worlds, magic is
scarce and hard-won, while in others, spellcasting is a common talent. When designing a new fantasy setting,
authors must decide how prevalent and powerful magic will be.
Another idea to keep in mind is that accidents happen. A wizard who is at work designing a spell to create
fireballs that rain down like hailstones is likely to have some mishaps, and should take precautions not to
burn down his tower or corner of the forest. Likewise, many fictional characters have started trouble by
attempting a spell beyond their power or reading from a spellbook without understanding the text. The possible plot devices are endless.
Magic doesnt have to make sense scientifically. If a wizard summons a griffin for a ride, most readers arent
worried about where the griffin comes from. Magic does need to be plausible within the confines of the
setting. In a high fantasy setting, a wizard wont be able to summon a racecar. Similarly, magic needs to be
balanced. Magic becomes boring if a character can perform any action with a snap of the fingers. When
designing magic, limits upon the frequency and power of magic use are essential.

Witchcraft
USAGE NOTE: The concept of whether witchcraft is real has been debated down through the
centuries. The topic of witchcraft, however, provides a broad, deep, and rich source of plot devices,
behaviors, groups, and activities. The reality of whether witchcraft is real is not debated in this book;
in any given story or setting, it can be as real as an author wishes to make it. The task is then to make
it plausible for the situation.

Secret/Mystical Organizations
USAGE NOTE: Hundreds of secret organizations have existed throughout history. Many began as secret societies but later became public knowledge. Some are open to the public and some
by invitation only. Some are religious and some are purely secular.
The definition of religious in association with secret societies varies widely, and is dependent
upon the goals of the organization itself. A Christian, Satanic, or druidic group might consider
itself religious, but outside observers might not.
When referencing a secret society, extreme care is advised. Research is needed to understand the
origins, goals, and workings of a society. The history of a society is also important, as well as an
understanding of any progression from secret to public, especially when using a secret society in
historical context.
