I've decided to compile an archive of details about the history of Middle-Earth, so I'd be really appreciative to any additions.

Great idea...but ehr... I don't want to spoil the fun someone has already done this: http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/.
But I was thinking... wouldn't it be useful to make this kind of archive for the Sword of Truth series? Could come in handy for the people who are setting up the Role Playing Games as well.

it's a kind of large database with all kinds of information, in this case that would be about SoT. ^^

I'm all for that though, starting such a database. it would come in handy for the roleplaying.

I can easily start that up. I've been through the SOT series almost four times now. Im fairly fluent on the story and history and such. If anyone's up to do one with me that could work too..

I can do it while I read the books now. I mean, for an archive you'll need detailed information not just on how the story goes, but mainly about the world they live in. definitions for example, kinda like an encyglopedia (sp?)

but if everybody who's currently reading any of the books just writes down what they find about the world and about the characters and stuff, that should work

I can try to help if I'm needed. I've throught the books several times too.
I may not remember a detail here and there but, I've got a good hold on stuff.

For instance, I have no idea who is Richard's 4th cousin on his Mother's side.

I could try...maybe I bosted a bit much. There are definately a lot more learned folks in the world of SoT than me.
I could still try; what could I do to help? I coud help on the research but, I must confess I'm not a writer. If you want just message me and I'll do what I can.
