Elegor
A high-fantasy setting that reaches across more than one world. The official canon is open to read, share, and build upon.
First glimpse
Where the setting begins
Elegor's pantheon includes Set'Sin, the Moon God, who hides his face behind the Pale Moon Mask and keeps the night charted in his Lunarchives. He is the most reticent of the Gods, master of astronomy, the Nexus, and dreams.
The setting reaches further: a second world called Asarion, an underground vast enough to hold its own societies, and presences from beyond a Rift that shaped what every map and chronicle still records. The Compendium catalogues all of it.

Three ideas at the core
These three commitments govern how Elegor is built, licensed, and shared. Everything else follows from them.
Open by design
Elegor is released under CC BY 4.0. The official canon is free to read, cite, and build upon. Derivative works may carry any license their creators choose, including all-rights-reserved. The only requirement is attribution.
A living canon
The Elegor Compendium is the Public Knowledge wiki: a growing, cross-referenced ledger of species, history, geography, institutions, and spellcraft, authored through Narrator avatars and curated by the Elegor Society.
Community and recognition
Creators who work in the Elegor setting can submit their works for badge review. Outstanding contributions earn public recognition; the most significant ones become part of the canon itself.
From the Compendium
Entries worth exploring
Worlds and the Rift
Elegor is a planet, and Asarion is another. Between and around them stands the Rift opened during the Heresy War.
The peoples
Eight sapient species share Elegor's surface, with languages and histories that cross four thousand recorded years.
The Gods
The Gods of Elegor are known to mortals through theology, observation, and recorded contact. The Compendium presents them as their followers understand them.
Ages and aftermath
The Compendium tracks Elegor's history through its Ages, Epochs, and Periods. The Heresy War remains the event from which every modern chronicle measures.
Told From Within
Voices of Elegor
All material in the Compendium is attributed to a Voice of Elegor: a scholar, an adventurer, a bard, a painter, or another person who lives or once lived in this world. Voices record only what they can attest, and some truths stay beyond their reach.
