Questions about history

[Siufu]

<div></div>I found this page from the web:http://terror.snm-hgkz.ch/twilights/history_of_norrath.htmBut I am not sure which part of them are taken from official lore, and which part are taken from fan story (codex of war?). Can someone please help me on this?Here are the lists of the topics on that page:The Creation - the creation story about The NamelessThe Gods of Power - how Rathe, Fennin Ro, Tarrew Marr and Xegony createdThe Gods of Influence - creations of other gods<span></span>The Age of Scale - Veeshan come to NorrathThe Elder Age - Gods came to NorrathThe Iksar Nation - the first part of History of KunarkThe Children of Rallos - The Age of MonumentsThe Ring of Scale - continue the History of KunarkThe Fall of The Iksar -  last part of History of KunarkThe Age of Monuments - this is actually The Age of BloodThe Age of Blood - first paragraph mentions the return of the Elves king and queen, is this fan fiction? The last two paragraphs are The Lost Age.Then there are some topics which I have never read before from other websites, so I was wondering if they are fan fictions or official lore.War of the Broken CrownThe Ogre – Dwarven WarThe Orcan ExileThe Kingdom of The GnomesThe Tribes of TrakanonThe Troll MigrationThe Lost Age - should be The Age of EnlightenmentThe Age of Enlightenment - should be The Age of Turmoil, and some taken from The Lost Age (about Qeynos and Freeport part)Erudine & Heretics - story about MiragulEdril & The Prophecy of Trakanon - is this from Codex of War?Again I cannot find the following topics from other websites, so I am not sure if they are just fan fictions.The Age of TurmoilAl’Kabor & The KedgeThe Relic of Brell SerilisThe Child of HateThe Goblin’s StoneAn Adventure BeginsThe Council MeetingFiriona Meets the KingThe Cursing of Kithicor<div></div>

The Codex of War, and all related articles, are indeed fan fiction, and should not be interpreted as true Norrathian Lore.  Be careful when choosing your sources for information.  There are a lot out there that DO offer true lore, however. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>The Dwarf-Ogre War isn't terribly recognized in EQlive's history. There are quests in Kaladim that involve finding a couple of rampant ogres that are still running around Butcherblock which relates them to the story though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The Tribes of Kunark is still considered canon. The history of the iksar stating that they were originally split into 5 different tribes around Kunark, eventually united together by one ruler. That's all official.</DIV>

[Dreyco]

The tribes of Kunark, yes (These being the Nathsar, Jarsath, Obulus, Kunzar, and Kylong), though reading the articles about the Tribes of Trakanon it speaks of something completely different (troll tribes, and wars of trolls upon Kunark?), and definately does not seem canon to Norrathian Lore. <div></div>

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>Tribe of Trakanon?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sounds like fanfiction or debunked lore to me.</DIV>
