Summary
From religion to mythology, magic systems to technology, kingdoms to politics to war; a lore guide for the |we are made of star-stuff| alternate universe series.
Chapters will be short briefings that focus in on one thing. Not a necessary read to understand the greater series, but a fun one!
Completely disregards most things established in canon unless the author decided they were relevant.

A Sylvaina Centric Into to WoW Lore by Offbrand_Valk
Fandoms: Warcraft - All Media Types, World of Warcraft
05 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
WoW lore is to be completely honest a maze, and I get the impression that a lot of Sylvaina shippers have a hard time keeping track of it all. This is my attempt at providing an abridged history of Azeroth, centered on the characters and events you'll often encounter in Sylvaina fanfiction.

Pendragon Rising: A Spork of Legend by Gesith
Fandoms: Choice of Games, Pendragon Rising, Arthurian Mythology & Related Fandoms
12 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
In this loose adaptation of Arthurian myth, the bastard princess Arta fights for the fate of her people as they are beset by Saxons and dark magics, earning her place as Pendragon.
(Spoiler alert, but the tl;dr is Pendragon Rising is a semi-historical dark fantasy take on Arthuriana, except the Saxons have demon werewolves and Arthur has a legitimate half-sibling. And there's an option to play as female.)
This is a deluxe combo of a walkthrough, lore guide, and line-by-line (over)analysis. Watch me go on tangents about gameplay, gush over romance, and slowly lose my sanity over 1 (one) piece of interactive fiction. See last chapter for a short review of the game.

The Vampire Chronicles: Vampirism Lore Guide for Writers & Related Essays by Anonymous
Fandoms: Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)
10 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Chapter 1: This is just a quick summary of how vampirism "functions" in the Vampire Chronicles books to help new writers in the IWTV '22 fandom. Obviously, the '22 version is distinct from the books, with many improvements, but if you would prefer to write fic that maps to the mechanics of the book series, this guide will give you the broad strokes (or, alternatively, answer some questions you might have!)
Chapter 2: This chapter is about Roman history and a few things that may not be initially obvious regarding characters who are from that period. That is to say, Marius was at one point a verna, a highly-specific category in Rome.
Chapter 3: This chapter is about the mysterious Bianca Solderini.
