This is a glossary of elvin words mentioned in The Glitter Ninja's "Keeper of the Lost Cities: Lodestar" fanfiction. This is a cumulative list and will continue to grow as the story grows, and can be used as a reference for both the readers while they are reading and for The Glitter Ninja while she is writing. It will always be featured at the end of the story, and new chapters will be inserted prior to the glossary. Please note that these are not words made up by Shannon Messenger, so they are not "official Keeper of the Lost Cities" words, nor are they real words. They have all been made up by The Glitter Ninja for the sole purpose of writing fanfiction. Please note that all items in italics are items that not have been mentioned by name, in the story yet, but have made an appearance, or an implied appearance.
