Canonical Sources and Content Boundaries
Last updated: August 21, 2026
Every kind of claim about this Universe has one surface that owns it. Lore is owned by the Codex, narrative by the Grand Library, media by the Multimedia Archives, files by the Asset Vault, governance by the City Council, and each game by itself. Documentation sits alongside all of them and owns none of it. That division is what keeps the project citable: when a fact moves, it moves in one place, and everything else points at that place rather than holding a copy that quietly goes stale.
Where a claim belongs
| If the claim is about… | Cite… |
|---|---|
| A character, species, faction, artifact or location | the Xdripian Codex entry |
| A book, comic, chronicle or defined term | the Grand Library |
| Where something is in space | the Celestial Atlas |
| An image, track, episode or exhibition | the Multimedia Archives |
| A downloadable file and its terms | the Xdripian Asset Vault |
| A proposal, vote or council decision | the City Council |
| Rules, costs or state inside a game | that game, or its manual |
| Products, prices, stock, orders | the Xdripian Emporium |
| Origin, publisher, editorial process | the portal's About and Impressum |
| Development status | the portal's Roadmap and Changelog |
What documentation deliberately will not do
These pages do not reproduce live catalogues, player state, prices, stock, vote tallies, personal account data or step-by-step instructions for authenticated flows. Two reasons: such content ages badly the moment it is copied, and screenshots of sign-in or wallet screens teach patterns that make phishing easier. Where a flow matters, the guide describes its shape and sends you to the real thing.
A page here carries the date it was checked against its source. If the linked service has changed since, the service is correct and the guide is out of date — not the other way round.
Official source
Canonical source for this subject: Tales of Xdripia. Checked 21 August 2026 — where this guide and the live service disagree, the service is right.
