- DERYBACH (Traiti):
- A Homeworld
predator Ranger Tarlac
characterized as
an overgrown bobcat. They bear a strong resemblance to cloudcats, though
they have shorter fur and are tawny rather than white.
- DIADEM, IMPERIAL:
- A term sometimes
used to refer to the
Imperial Crown
as it is worn during ceremonies other than major ones such as Coronation
or Grand Audiences. It is somewhat lighter, since it does not have the
arches.
- DISRUPTOR:
- A gravitics-based
weapon that disrupts its
target's molecular
structure. Sizes (and power) vary from the relatively weak sidearm
favored by the Traiti to the extremely
powerful "primaries" mounted in
Imperial light, heavy, and battle cruisers, which require a separate T/CT
power supply equal to that used for propulsion and ship
support.

DONOR:
- As used by Narvonese, a person who acts as an occasional
(one to
four week interval, depending on the individual) blood-source for the
Dragon-Kin, but whose lack of susceptibility
to the nosferatu pseudo-virus prevents
à from becoming a Bloodmate.
Donating or not is an
individual decision, as is the method. While most choose to Donate
directly and get the pleasure the Kin feels and projects to à's Donor
while feeding this way, some people prefer to Donate indirectly, through
a medical unit; that blood is used for Kins who for some reason or other
cannot or choose not to feed normally. This is not usual, though;
"bottled" blood is, rather like WWII C-rations, life-sustaining but not
very good, and certainly not satisfactory for long periods. The more
usual problem is keeping donors from doing so too often, to the point
where it adversely affects their health.
-
DOWER NOBLE:
- A ruling
noble who retires and that noble's spouse,
or the
spouse of a ruling noble who has died. Dower nobles have no legal power,
but are entitled to the courtesies of their former ranks. They add a
true-lover's knot to their arms to indicate dower status.
-
DRAGON PRINCE:
- (Sometimes referred to simply as "Dragon" or
"Prince")
Personification of the nosferatu
pseudo-virus, the result of a dream by
the first Kin, during her Change, about a
platinum-scaled Oriental-style
dragon wearing a crown. She was familiar with both the fictional and
real Draculas, synthesizing that knowledge with what she somehow sensed
(or knew through Talent) she was becoming, and the virus' essential
benevolence. Her colony of virus, even though it was centuries from true
consciousness or self-awareness, picked up the image, possibly as a
rudimentary identification, and passed it along as other colonies reached
a level that changed their hosts.
