Welcome to

The Koridian Series Repository

We have been building a collaborative source for all knowledge on the epic, high-fantasy world being used as the basis for the (as-yet-to-be-published) Koridian Series of books since 2009, and we could use your help! To begin browsing our site, you should select one of the categories in the "Contents" section of this page. If you would like to help us build the site, you can learn how to get started as an editor, read over the help files to learn how to operate the wiki.

In the spirit of Wikis, feel free to create, add to or edit any page on the Wiki. You don't need anyone else's permission as long as your contributions are not redundant, but are positive and constructive.

Because the site's purpose is to provide information as a base for the novels, this site's content will all be spoilers.

They have six limbs - four feet and two wings. Their blood is copper-based and green in color. They have multifaceted eyes that change color depending on the eywen's mood. They have a smooth hide rather than scales; the texture of their skin is described as being reminiscent of suede. (Read more...)
