The two-second intro about making entries
In order to modify this site, you have to register and verify an email address. This is just to make sure we have a real person and not a spammer.
To make edits, you can click on any red link and a new page will open. Alternatively, if you type something into the search box and hit the "Go" button, you will be prompted to create a page.
Another way you can make a page is by creating a link to a non-existent page. You can make links by double square brackets. For example, if you had a character named "Darth Hamster" you could make an entry on his page like this:
Darth Hamster was the fiercest of all the rodents. Yet he would have been nothing without his [[light spear]] and [[magic helmet]].
The double square brackets make a link. When you save the page, they'll show up in red. If you click on them, the Wiki will put you in an editing page and let you fill them in.
What should I write about?
Entries should describe people, countries, places, races, words from spells or words in exotic languages (Wookie), etc. Story arcs are secondary to the details.
The objective is to treat a literary work as a historical document. All descriptions match what the authors conveyed in their work--unless you are the author. If so, please feel free to include your story notes and other backstory that didn't make it into your books.
