A small coastal town in the Wildlands, the area between Sommerlund and Durenor. Virtually the only settlement in the entire region. Like the Wildlands as a whole, Ragadorn is home to a motley crew of Szalls (a weak type of Giaks), pirates and outlaws.
Lone Wolf ends up stranded in the town after his ship sinks in Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water. He has to find a way to get transport east to Durenor, while avoiding the dangers of Ragadorn itself. There is also a board game, Ragadorn Ale-House Brawl, included in the Magnamund Companion guidebook. Ragadorn is the kind of place where a brawl would barely make the news, so the game is quite appropriate.
Nominally listed as the "capital" of the Wildlands, although this idea is largely empty in such a desolate and chaotic place.

Green-elves, elves of Teleri origin who grew tired of the westward journey and wandered off by the wayside. They were at home in the woodlands, and mostly settled in the area of Beleriand known as Ossiriand. They were elusive and wary of strangers, and a human or a Noldorin or Sindarin elf could wander through Ossiriand for days and never encounter one of them.
It is unclear whether the Sylvan Elves of the Third Age (who make up the bulk of the elves in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings) are Laiquendi, but it seems likely since they have similar habits (they are elusive and distrust strangers), have their own language and live in areas similar to Ossiriand (forests and wooded dells), including Lindon, which is basically Ossiriand in the Third Age. Thus, the elves of the Woodland Realm such as Thranduil the Elvenking and Legolas, the non-Sindarin elves of Lorien and the elves of Rivendell are probably Laiquendi.

Although they apparently have their own language, the name Laiquendi is of the language of the Sindar.
Of all Tolkien's Elves, the Laiquendi most closely resemble the standard Elf of fantasy literature and RPG's.

TransFormers which have a Nebulan (humanoid) companion who transforms into the head of the transforming robot, and does not form part of (but can usually drive or otherwise connect to) the large robot's vehicle and/or beast mode/s.
Sometimes used to mean the large robot, sometimes the small figure/head. (Japan only: some heads were brought out without bodies, and all heads were interchangeable between robots, making more sense of the term "headmaster").
Of course, it also means a male head-teacher (now rarely used for PC reasons) - presumably it's a play on words (used as a model for later names such as Powermaster, Targetmaster etc.). Initially appeared in series 4 of generation 1.
Also, the first series of the Japanese Transformers cartoon (the 4th series overall) is called "TransFormers Headmasters".
