Welcome to the WikiEdit

Toward the end of 1997, I started writing a book called "The Chaos," which is the first in a planned trilogy (with other books and stories to follow, eventually). Now I'm starting this wiki for my series (The Landian Chronicles) in 2010, while I still have a number of chapters to write in The Chaos, and no telling whether it'll ever even be published. But I have many notes on my ideas for the history and future of the world in which it is all set, and I want to establish this wiki at first as a reference source for myself, but if my books ever do get published, as a resource for potential readers, as well. I'd expect to remain the primary contributor to the wiki, but in the future, fans should feel free to make contributions of their own.

Please note: This wiki contains spoilers for at least the first three books in the planned series. Read any articles with caution, or don't read them at all, if you're spoilerphobic.

I should also note that there may be pages on this wiki which are written from my own perspective (or that of someone who recognizes all this as a work of fiction), but most of the pages will be written from the perspective of a Landian (someone who lives on The Land, the fictional planet in my books). One might say that the information contained in this wiki is actually part of a "sylphsite" on the Sylph Swarm, in theory written by any number of different Landians (beginning in LY 914).

I also need to note that these books are purely fantasy, even if there are references to real things... including some things, such as God, which are the subject of debate. For the purposes of my books, Landians are considered to be in possession of indisputable proof that God does exist, and that He created their world, and ours, and basically... everything. This is not meant to be taken as an "agenda" on my part to push any kind of religious beliefs. If you don't believe in God, you shouldn't have a problem suspending disbelief for the purposes of enjoying a fantasy story. On the other hand, certain things my books will say about God, Lucifer, angels, demons, etc., may differ in some ways from what is generally accepted by those who do believe. Some of what I write may even sound blasphemous. I ask that believers as well as nonbelievers remember this is just fiction, and take it all with a grain of salt. I have no intention of offending anyone or influencing anyone's beliefs.

As a final note, I want to mention that there are some articles about things which... include the word "the." In some cases I omit that word from the actual page titles, so that the more pertinent word will be the one under which you may find the articles in alphabetical category listings. But in other cases, I will include the word "the" in the article's title, when I feel it's important. It may not always make sense to you, and frankly it may not always make absolute sense to me, either... So, I can only apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. Sorry.
