Due to the century in which The DRACULA Dossier takes place, there may be some words or obsolete terms and descriptions from earlier language usage in the texts.

I want to collect these words here to make it a little easier for you.

Most of the explanations are not mine, and I do not claim any rights to them. 

Please feel free to comment or message me if you notice any other words.
