An archive of Middle-earth and the galaxy far, far away

Lore, traced to the published text

Wanthishirt explains the history, peoples and places of Tolkien’s legendarium and of Star Wars. Book details are checked against the published texts and appendices, screen details against official studio releases, and canon and Legends material are always labeled apart. New entries end with a short summary of what is certain and what is not.
