Compendium Articles List

[Susan]

Often the answer to a question can be found in one of the articles held in the Compendium. While it's hoped that players will check the Compendium on a regular basis, we know the reality *grin* Therefore this list is to help build awareness of what information can be found there. When new articles are approved for the Compendium, an update post will be added to this thread.

The Compendium is divided into two main sections. The first section – Game – covers ooc guides, rules and manuals. The second section – Lore – details the Aelyrian world. Listed below are the articles in the compendium, divided into their catagories. The lists are within the secrets boxes to make this thread easier to navigate. Click on the word 'show' to open each box.

To read these articles, either click on the link to their category, or click on the Lore icon at the top of each page to access the Compendium. Once there, to reorder the different articles into alphabetical order, click on "Entry Title/Author" on the dark grey, narrow title bar.
