The worlds of Earthdawn and Shadowrun are amazing in their breadth, complexity, and mystery. The lore of both IPs is extensive, as its publishing history, filled with intentional murky references and retconned content. Consequently, its great for storytelling, running games, and just... reading. The purpose of this site is to unify that lore in a reasonably accessible way that also respects the creators and intellectual property.

Content Policy
All of the content on this site is authored by yours truly, and for all content I've tried to drilldown to the original source material to the best of my ability. References to books are from books I've purchased, licensed content, but sometimes its just rumors/theorycrafting on the web. All content has been written by a human, and all images are provided with links to original sources.
AI Policy
The Policy of SextantofWorlds.net on AI is that unfortunately, most available AI does has not yet met the standards of fair use in a clear enough statement from its creators or courts to be used on this wiki. The current court suit we are tracking, Andersen vs. Stability AI, has been filed against Stability AI, Midjourney, and Deviant Art. The case has been approved for discovery, and is set for trial in September, 2026[1].
Ethical AI does exist, and there are some offerings, that are used on this site. AI generated images found on this site are created via Shuttershock's AI paid service, which is trained on licensed photos and artists whos material is sourced in the image generated[2]. All images are sourced and used with the appropriate license.
A Personal Note
I love AI, and think it is a really powerful tool. Shadowrun, in fact, was a deep inspiration for me in pursuing a career in emerging technologies. Generatie AI technologies like Stable Diffusion are awesome and can create some really amazing imagery, but the proverbial well it draws its creations from seems like its been tainted[3]. Similarly, Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have been targeted with similar concerns about its training database, and whether its output violates derivative work as defined in US copyright law[4].
Until there is further clarity on the legality of AI outputs and transparent/equitable use of material for training sets, the pages you'll find here are authored and posted by little old me.
