The '''Vrienden Universe''' is a semi-fictional encyclopedia website that began in 2019 as '''[[DeLijersDeVrienden]]''', a project about [[De Vrienden]]. As the project became bigger, it was changed into the Vrienden Universe so the wider fictional world around it could be written down properly. The site now has hundreds of connected pages.
__NOTOC__


The wiki is built as one clear continuity. Its goal is to keep every page consistent with the rest of the site, so the information fits together across the whole world. Pages are written to connect with each other through shared history, characters, places, and events.

On this wiki, you may find fictional people, places, countries, and events. You may also find semi-fictional subjects that have been respectfully altered to fit into the world of the Vrienden Universe. These subjects are written as part of the same setting and continuity.
.vu-main,
.vu-main * {
box-sizing: border-box;
}


There are hundreds of pages, years of work, and a lot of dedication put into this site. The goal is to share the world and stories of the Vrienden Universe with everyone who is interested.

== How to use this wiki ==
.vu-logo-panel {
The wiki can be read by starting from one page and following the links inside it. Most pages are connected to other subjects, so a person page may lead to a family page, a faction page, a location page, or an event page.
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
padding: 31px;
background: linear-gradient(145deg, rgba(255,255,255,0.065), rgba(0,0,0,0.22));
border-right: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.15);
}


Readers who want the wider overview can start with the main pages below. These pages give a broader view of the setting and make it easier to understand how the different parts of the wiki fit together.
.vu-logo-panel::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
right: -36px;
top: 50%;
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
background: #1B223D;
border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.15);
border-right: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.15);
transform: translateY(-50%) rotate(45deg);
}


* [[Timeline]]
.vu-logo-panel img {
* [[Factions]]
position: relative;
* [[List of organizations]]
z-index: 2;
* [[Universe]]
width: 100%;
max-width: 175px;
height: auto;
filter: drop-shadow(0 12px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.48));
}


The wiki is not meant to be read in only one order. Some readers may start with a family, while others may start with an event, place, or organization. The pages are written so the information can be followed from one subject to another without needing to know everything first.
.vu-header-copy {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
padding: 39px 45px 39px 62px;
}


Because the site is built as one continuity, details from one page may matter on another page. Links are used to show those connections and help readers move through the world in a clear way.

}


== Community ==
.vu-subtitle {
To understand the goal and purpose of this wiki, there are a selection of pages where you can learn how to contribute to it. Many pages are protected but some are open for ideas as long as they align with the Universe and story line.

<h2>About the wiki</h2>
 
<p>
The <strong>Vrienden Universe</strong> began in 2019 as
<a data-wiki-title="De Lijers De Vrienden" href="/wiki/De_Lijers_De_Vrienden"><strong>De Lijers De Vrienden</strong></a>,
a project about <a data-wiki-title="De Vrienden" href="/wiki/De_Vrienden">De Vrienden</a>.
The project expanded as related pages were added and became a single encyclopedia covering the wider history around its original subject.
</p>
 
<p>
The wiki now contains hundreds of connected pages developed over several years.
Information established on one page is carried into related articles, allowing readers to follow the same history throughout the site.

The history of De Vrienden and the wider world recorded around them.

About the wiki

The Vrienden Universe began in 2019 as De Lijers De Vrienden, a project about De Vrienden. The project expanded as related pages were added and became a single encyclopedia covering the wider history around its original subject.

The wiki now contains hundreds of connected pages developed over several years. Information established on one page is carried into related articles, allowing readers to follow the same history throughout the site.
