legendarium

A legendarium is a comprehensive collection of related stories, myths, and fictional worlds created by an author or group of authors. It encompasses the entire universe, history, characters, languages, and mythologies that build the backdrop for their stories. Think of it as the detailed, interconnected universe behind a series of books, movies, or games, allowing fans and creators to explore and understand the depth and complexity of the fictional setting. Examples include J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth or the Star Wars galaxy, which have extensive lore that extends beyond individual stories.
