Talk:Lost Lore

Extra "Nether Gods" stories

Would "The Inferno", "The Rampart", "Rumors from the Court" and "Parallel world" also fit here?

• Not sure - what are those? --Legate (talk) 13:00, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
• Parallel World I didn't know where to place, as it wasn't directly related to any topic back when I added those. Inferno and Rampart are kind of dry, just explanations of the factions. More mechanical than lore-related IMO. Rumors, I forgot what it was about. --Turnam (talk) 13:37, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
• I mean - Are these short stories? Do you have the text of the stories or a link to them? Do you know who wrote them? I haven't seen any pages on the wiki yet that refer to these? --Legate (talk) 17:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Very interesting! The style of these stories seem to closely match what is already in Lost Lore. If we can trace their origin back to some official employee, we should definitely add them here! How did you come across these? --Legate (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
    • They're just more of the "Nether Gods" stories. They can now be found on the bad f*ndom wiki. --Turnam (talk) 17:19, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
    • Nice. The intro makes a reference to different colored text implying commentary by...probably Marcus Finch? Did the other site have anything like that? --Legate (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
    • If you are referring to the other wiki, yes. I just checked their page related to the "Kreegan reference" and they used a darker shade of blue to not get it mixed up with the links. I don't think that would solve the problem here though; the links automatically turn darker once you click on them, right? If viable, perhaps something in the middle?
    • Plus, the user Turnam summed it up pretty well, then went ahead and ported everything nice and tidy; but I have no idea who wrote them or whether they should be in this section. I don't where the references for the stories we currently have in store come from. Though I think their addition might be worthwhile: "Parallel world" opens up a whole another realm of possibilities, "Rumors from the Court" sheds a bit more light on the background events (I find the Overlord dominion thing there particularly interesting) and even "the Inferno" confirms that the familiars deal with dimensional rifts. So, maybe we could add something like "..., mechanics-related..." into the explanation here and get them? If there are no information about them whatsoever, perhaps we could link to another page and put a warning up front?

Here are the texts: (moved to appropriate pages)

Other stories that may fit

I found a few stories originally written by Bard Tannim (in a Polish translation). I wasn't able to locate the english source, even using the web archive - I suspect it may be lost to time.

• Several of these are stories from the H3 manuals (and are already included on their various pages). We should go through the rest and see if they belong on the wiki! Likely they don't belong with lost lore...at least in my mind Lost Lore is fan-fiction written by official employees. Somewhere between Bob's random heroes 3 internet story and lore officially included in the game. --Legate (talk) 15:36, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
