The purpose of this wiki is to make possible the building of character lists and world maps for the fictional places which fascinate and haunt us. | |||
Places having this profound affect on those who read about them have been described as the “World as Myth.” A variety of people have presented this concept, but the person who introduced it to us was a Grand Master of Science Fiction: Robert Heinlein∞. The foundational belief is that every fictional world is real somewhere. | |||
Darth Vadar, Lessa, Robinton, Ford Prefect, and Frodo [along with many, many others] all occupy a place in these "World's As Myth". | |||
The purpose of this site is to provide reference books—the “schoolbooks” of these fictional worlds. More specifically, it is our goal to provide a historical record (by showing what happened and when it happened), a “who’s who” (with biographical information for all important characters), and a basic lexicon of terminology specific to this world. | |||
