Terms.

The reason there are so many dictionaries in this world is that despite their existence, words are used for different meanings all the time. So, here are some terms, defined specifically for the use in the worldview of The Storyteller's Eye.

Please note that these definitions exist for explanation's sake. These things don't really exist separately. It's similar to how we talk about the wrist, the forearm, and the elbow, but can't really know where precisely the wrist ends and the forearm begins or where precisely the forearm ends and the elbow begins. Terms like wrist, forearm, and elbow are useful; however, they aren't really separate things.

In alphabetical order:

  • avatar: body & mind
  • body: container of mind in the avatar world
  • inspiration: that which makes the POV turn its focus toward something
  • mind: emotions, thoughts, feelings
  • POV(point-of-view): everywhere and everywhen the avatar can go with its everyday awareness, and that which can go everywhere and everywhen
  • storyteller: the source of inspirations; the power that takes care of everything beyond the POV; the power that encompasses the POV and everything in it
