A link to the Compendium will already have been given to you in the Welcome Private Message that all new players receive. However, in case you've deleted that PM, or if you just want a quick look at the sort of information held in the Compendium, here's a list!
| Remember that you don't have to read all the articles in the Compendium to play the game. Instead think of it as a reference library that you dip into when you want to find out something about an aspect of the Aelyrian world. |

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.
