hindrance - stopping
maddeningly - driving to madness
ideograph - symbol
mussed - state of disorder
manes - souls of the dead (Roman Religion)
self-immolation - sacrifice or denial of oneself
quarries - abundant source
strata - layer of tissue
fiefdoms - the estate of a feudal lord
If I were to rewrite this whole story by assuming some of the said definitions; then strata would be space related, manes would relate to lions, and quarries sounds too much like quarrel. It would make a very lame story.
