Hi Product Hunt — I'm Ricky. Edhra Chronicles is a fantasy universe I'm publishing the wrong way round. Most fantasy wikis get built by fans, years after the books land. I'm writing the wiki alongside the novel, releasing articles openly as I go, and letting readers explore the world before the story is finished. The conceit: these aren't "lore notes" — they're written as if by an in-world institution (the Academy of Records in the city of Karath), with the voice, format, and visual plates of a real reference library. What's live right now at edhrachronicles.com: 30 wiki articles on geography, peoples, language, trade, ceremony, and the natural world of the Shifting Coast — each with its own Academy illustrated plate. 3 chapters of Tidewater, book 1 of the series, free to read Weekly additions to the wiki; new chapters as they clear editorial. The book itself is a character-driven nautical fantasy — a merchant captain in debt to the wrong people, a scholar at the Academy chasing a dangerous question, and a Coast whose slow pre-industrial equilibrium is about to break. It lands when chapter 100 does. Until then, I'm treating the wiki as audience-building and as a genuine public document: everything in it is canon, everything in it is free, everything in it is the kind of writing I'd have wanted to read as a reader coming to a new fantasy series cold. If you read one piece, I'd suggest the article on Karath (the city the whole series orbits), or the one on the Driftborn (the mobile sea-people whose way of life is the story's central pressure point). I'd love your feedback. What makes you bounce off a new fantasy universe? What makes you click in? — Ricky
