Notes to remember when writing the stories:

Measurements

[edit]
  • On Earth, the Maddisons use metric so all references to measurement is metric (unless made by a character who would use Imperial).
  • In Altierra, all references are to Imperial except when used specifially by one of the Maddisons.

Titles

[edit]
  • Priestesses and Handmaidens always use the titles "Sacerdotisa" and "Criada" when referring to their castes.
  • Guardia officers use "Sacerdotisa" and "Criada"; the troopers use "Priestess" and "Handmaiden".
  • Bestia and general populace always use the titles "Priestess", and "Handmaiden".
