Glossary
Dawnwalker
Dawnwalker is the first-party name for Coen after the Blood Mass: human by day, vampire by night. This glossary keeps spellings that have a first-party source — vrakhiri, Vale Sangora, Svartrau, Laslea, Infamy, Swordmastery, Witchcraft, denarii — and refuses media-only nicknames as slugs. Use it when a page in another language or a competitor wiki has drifted the letters. The story teaser still on this page is a picture of the word, not a second definition.

How these spellings were locked
Names that become URL slugs need a first-party source. Coen, Vale Sangora, Vrakhiri, Brencis, Svartrau, Laslea, and Dawnwalker sit in the locked term map because Steam, Bandai, or Rebel Wolves printed them that way. Media-only nicknames do not get a slug. If a competitor page spells the court differently, this glossary wins.
Achievement names stay in their English community-table form even on other language UI chrome, because they are Steam record titles. Hidden rows still have names; they do not have descriptions here.
Locked terms in the term map are byte-identical across languages: The Blood of Dawnwalker, Coen, Vale Sangora, Vrakhiri, Brencis, Svartrau, Laslea, Dawnwalker, Rebel Wolves, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Unreal Engine 5, PlayStation 5, Steam, GeForce NOW. Official local names, when they exist, belong in officialTerms, not in this English glossary.
Use this page when a translation or a competitor article has drifted letters. Vale Sangora is not Valley Sangora. Vrakhiri is not Vrakiri. Laslea is not Laslia. Svartrau is not Svartrau City unless Steam prints City of Svartrau in the achievement text, which it does, as a visit verb, not as a rename.
What this glossary will not invent
No remaining-day integer. No perk percentages. No portrait filenames for vrakhiri. No redeem codes. No settlement GPS. Those absences are documented in the research limitations, and they stay absences in the definitions.
When a later hotfix or a publisher page prints a new official spelling, add it here with a date. Until then, the twelve terms above plus the engine name are the working set.
Infamy is not notoriety. Denarii is not gold. Swordmastery is not a generic “combat tree” label. Keep the first-party tokens even when they look ugly in a sentence. That is the job of a glossary.
Keep first-party letters even when a machine translation wants to tidy them.
