Why can't I create or edit articles?
You'll have to create an account on this wiki before you can do so. It's been set up this way since I'd like to track article creators and editors.
Why are there "Lore:" and "SO:" prefixes for many of these articles?
Articles with the "Lore" prefix exist only to contain, well, the lore behind the subject in question. SO stands for "Sundered Order" and articles with this prefix only contain information related to the Lays of Althas: Sundered Order game (usually gameplay-related). We set it up this way to lessen the potential length of certain articles and in case this property ever expanded beyond the initial Sundered Order game. So a possible sequel would probably contain articles with its own unique prefix.
