A <a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/wallofnight.fandom.com\/\">wiki<\/a> has been found but it has fallen into disuse. Sliding almost out of time and memory until, by chance, it was found. A new age for <a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/wallofnight.fandom.com\/wiki\/Main_Page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Wall of Night Wiki<\/a> dawns, but it requires many hands to build, else all may be lost again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">While Googling &#8216;Yorindesarinen&#8217; to check the spelling before including the star-bright hero in a Tweet, I discovered a fledgling wiki dedicated to the Wall series. However, the brave soul who created it had not edited it in so long that it was scheduled to be deleted. And so, I undertook the daunting task of updating the wiki and adding more content. In time, and after proving myself worthy (by editing the wiki regularly for thirty days), I was granted admin rights to continue in the glorious footsteps of that visionary who first created the wiki.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42261 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wall-Of-Night_Wiki_1-1024x654.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wall-Of-Night_Wiki_1-1024x654.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wall-Of-Night_Wiki_1-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wall-Of-Night_Wiki_1-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wall-Of-Night_Wiki_1-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wall-Of-Night_Wiki_1.jpg 1236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">The first task was designing an attractive colour scheme for the wiki. Once this was accomplished, it was further enhanced with beautiful Wall of Night artwork from the esteemed <a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/mojobob.com\/gallery\/gallery.html\">PJ Fitzpatrick<\/a>, book covers and more. Typos and other errors have also been corrected along the way. But now the call is going out for fellow fans to join in this great working! The wiki needs more lore, characters, locations and many other things besides. Helen&#8217;s world of Haarth is deep and rich and it deserves a wiki of equal depth!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Fandom wikis are free and open to all to edit and collaboratively create!
