The '''Vrienden Universe''' is a semi-fictional encyclopedia website that began in 2019 as '''[[De Lijers De Vrienden]]''', 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.

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.
