estrade: a slightly raised platform
recondite: little known; abstruse
Lorelei: a large rock on the bank at a narrows of the Rhine River near Sankt Goarshausen, Germany. The rock produces an echo and is associated with the legend of a beautiful maiden who threw herself into the Rhine in despair over a faithless lover and was transformed into a siren who lured fishermen to destruction.
captious: calculated to confuse, entrap, or entangle
abhuman: partially human
vans: wings
cupel: a shallow, porous container in which gold or silver can be refined or assayed by melting with a blast of hot air which oxidizes lead or other base metals

There are a few spots where the word choice in the text above varies slightly from what is in the book I'm reading from, so "domination" in the online version is indeed "dominion" in my book. No substantive difference, but it's not that I did a poor job of reading, it's that my book does in actual fact vary slightly here and there.
