This project is for organizing and coordinating player created lore or theories. The category will include player fiction and in game logs which are not necessarily an accurate reflection of official game lore. The goal of this project is to promote visibility of the community's creativity and to encourage more.
Please log your name using the signature shortcut (--~~~~) to record your participation, and so we can all keep track of who's doing what.
