Some of our terminology comes from varying ARPG/HARPG groups found on dA. Most come from Tokotas however, as their terminologies are fairly close to our own as, many of us, who are both working and building Spáfold up, are used to their terminologies more than others. These terminologies may change as we grow. However we will give credit where it is due.
