Grand Master

by Lilith Sedai

GLOSSARY

Abhaile: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "home." The name of Qui-Gon's homeworld, according to me, since George didn't see fit to provide us with one. Let's not quibble over whether this is the noun or the adverb form of the word, shall we? If you feel the need, just go get a nice tall pint glass of Guinness and meditate on the willing suspension of disbelief until you feel better. If that doesn't work, try it again with the same amount of Bushmill's or Jameson. If you still want to argue about grammar after that, I'll totally take you up on it.

Anait: A Djinn guard with one of the worst job duties you could ever get stuck with. He needs a new pair of undies.

Cac capaill: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "horseshit." Again, if you're stressing about there not being horses in a GFFA, I refer you to SciFi shows such as "Firefly" and invite you to relax. If that fails, pretend "capaill" means "bantha." Plus, you don't need to sell me death sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life. *sweeping hand gesture*

Ciach ort: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "damn you."

Clan Failbhe: One of three clans that took over Qui-Gon's ancestral lands. Pretty poor compared to equatorial clans, but one of the stronger ones in their immediate area. Led by Kelonaht.

Clan Neishan: Qui-Gon's ancestral clan, now more or less extinct except for a few distant relatives who were mostly subsumed into Ruidhri.

Clan Lathurna: One of three clans that took over Qui-Gon's ancestral lands. By far the least powerful clan in their immediate area, under extreme threat of extinction due to starvation and attack from neighboring clans. Led by Sala.

Clan Ruidhri: One of three clans that took over Qui-Gon's ancestral lands. Slightly more powerful than Failbhe. Pretty poor compared to equatorial clans, but one of the stronger ones in their immediate area. Led by some guy who gets, like, two lines. He's not important. Don't stress over him. Please note: this is NOT Majnun's clan; I never gave his clan an official name, so there.

Dejarik: A strategy game, very like chess. You saw it played when Threepio told Artoo to let the wookiee win. See Wookieepedia

Janu: A low-class Djinn sent to pick up Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon from their landing platform. Black hair, etc. Think "really tall Maori." Racially representative of Lathurna, a minority clan.

Ki-Gün Djinn is ainm dom. Cad is ainm duit?: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "Qui-Gon Jinn is my name. What's your name?"

Kelonaht: Taoiseach of Failbhe. I've based him on an older Clint Eastwood, just for the hell of it. GO AHEAD, JEDI PUNK. MAKE MY DAY!

Mo athair: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "my father."

Mo dhearthàir: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "my brother."

Sala: The taoiseach of Lathurna. His look is based loosely on Sala Baker.

Taoiseach: Irish Gaelic (Djinn) for "leader" or "chieftain."
