Tolkien-gaming:Canon

Concerning Tolkien, this wiki starts from zero, and begins with everything that is included in Middle-earth video games. Anything outside the scope of video games is not acceptable here.

All characters, locations, items mentioned here, even if they originate from Tolkien's works, are treated as game characters, game locations and game items.

In other words, what is accepted here include:
 * Anything that appears in video games, game characters, game locations or game items, be they canonical or original.
 * Anything that is mentioned in video game dialogues by game characters as background information.
 * Anything that is mentioned in the video game manuals and documentations, usually a glossary or summary of Tolkien's works, provided as introduction and background to the game.

Some additional considerations:
 * When a game or its documentation misrepresents a canonical topic, be it by miscomprehension or by artistic license, it is adviseable to include a "Behind the scenes" section to treat the inconsistency.
 * If the fanon of two or more games are in conflict, the more correct version is preferred. For example, the manual of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I consistently mispells the Elvenking's name as "Tharanduil", but it appears correct in other adapations.

What is not accepted here:
 * In short, anything that doesn't appear or isn't mentioned in Middle-earth games.
 * That includes, canon, no matter its importance or context. For example, it doesn't matter how important character was Huor in the Silmarillion; if he isn't mentioned in any game source (dialogue or documentation) he doesn't exist.
 * Same applies to fanon material in adaptations, like original characters and events in Peter Jackson's films ("Figwit", "Yazneg" or the "Cold Fells").
