Citation Guide

A note on best practices for citations.

In order to manage attribution and citations correctly, the editorial board encourages the use of inline citations. Do not list a bibliography or reference section for texts not on the platform. Mention author and title of the work in parentheses after the quote or reference. For example, According to Gagnar (Research Papers for the Necromantic Apprentice - 1045 CBE), "The use of inline citations is crucial for academic integrity." Or: "The use of inline citations is crucial for academic integrity." Gagnar (Research Papers for the Necromantic Apprentice - 1045 CBE) Date references may follow local conventions, but the calendar should be clearly referenced.

A Note on Dates

Usage of stable timelines for temporal references.

Due to the temporal leaks created during the Order Gods' Wars of Succession (Erroneously referred to as the Godfall in their scriptures), references to dates and times have been unsynchronised amongst our readership for approximately Ten Millennia.

Therefore, we have locked onto a stable temporal dimension that can be accessed using Igmar's planar reference page 456 catalogue item 445920-A.

Zeroth reference can be obtained for local calendar year 2026 and deviations scried accordingly.

All submissions not following this format will be rejected going forward.
