[[Image:Adept of Administratum.jpg|thumb|right|300px|omg he's literally me frfr]]
Recently, I've been doing a deep dive on the lore of the game [[Warhammer 40,000: Darktide]]. Since I haven't found much information about the game's lore I began building up a seemingly abandoned fandom site to the game.

I've been compiling all of the lore I could find, sourced item descriptions, out of game content, and character dialogue, and organizing it on the dedicated [https://warhammer-40k-darktide.fandom.com/wiki/Warhammer_40K_Darktide_Wiki Darktide Fandom page]. That site is my primary work area for compiling and writing lore. I'm hoping to archive some of the concrete info on a more secure and reputable platform for others to easily reference.

Bell of Lost Souls is also wanting more images of video game sources and the like. So hopefully I'll get around to adding lore-important screenshots of the hundreds of item descriptions and quotes, which will be a project in itself.

(idk what JPGtran is or how/why I should be using it)

=Working On=
Everything related to [[Warhammer 40,000: Darktide]].
*Work on these pages is sporadic and infrequent. The citation work for [[Tertium]] or [[Atoma]] is a daunting thought that can only be done in peices and with careful wording. My interested have drifted after creating the foundation.
*With the release of the Darktide [[Wrath & Glory]] I've returned to the Darktide pages and begun revising and cleaning up the half finished pages. Text sources are a lot easier and straight-forward citation process than ''video games''.
*The Lex lacks a lot of random info from various TTRPG book ([[Imperium Maledictum]], [[Dark Heresy]], [[Rogue Trader (RPG series)]], etc.) I'm trying to add and address this in my own sporadic and random way adding what I can.

Other interests include anything [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] related I come across; primarily [[Dominion Genesis (Novel)]] and [[Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work (Novel)]]. I'm also working to bolster the presence of other video game pages such as  and [[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2]]. I've also been thumbing through various [[Dark Heresy]] TTRPG books.

==To do==
More of a 'Wish List' than a 'To Do List'. Not sure I'll get around to all this or not.
===Books===
*[[Genefather (Novel)]] - Still need to do many, ''many'' character specific pages and other things
*[[Dominion Genesis (Novel)]] - Still some characters to do.
**Make pages for [[Vostroyan 103rd]], techpriests in charge of the forge worlds, etc
**Redo organization of existing pages: [[Almagest]] page - too lengthy and too step-by-step details (lots of unnecessary clutter). [[Talin Sherax]] reread and assess formatting/organization.
*[[Wrath & Glory: Darktide Extraction]]: Eventually get around to adding the campaign specific content. I've only glossed over things to support the other Darktide pages so far.
*[[Nightfall on Stygies (Short Story)]]
*[[Dark Heresy: The Lathe Worlds]] - a ton of info from this book is missing from the lex
*Skitarii 7th ed timeline - add event to respective millennia pages
*[[One Million Years (Short Story)]] (done)
*[[Rogue Trader: The Koronus Bestiary]] - Many of these xenos haven't been added or expanded upon.

===Video Game===
*[[Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus]] - needs more info on pages for the characters etc. Synopsis of missions with cool details.
*[[Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II]] - (Excited for the release)
*[[Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Prophecy]] - Still need to play through it, and then go through the usual checklist
*[[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2]] - Mostly done by other ppl already. Finished the planets.
*[[Warhammer 40,000: Darktide]] - Its slowly getting there. Still need to finish or revamp the primary pages like [[Tertium]] and the districts, [[Moebian 6th]], [[Admonition (Chaos Cult)]]. Character pages are (mostly) established. Haven't done any of the item image imports yet. Not looking forward to that.

===Miscellaneous===
*[[Dark Tongue]] need to rewrite some portions that are essentially copy-and-pasted
*Need to check and declutter many of the pages
*[[Purity Seal]] - consolidate the disparate tangential pages (similar to Arbitor Ian video) and add SOB codex info to Purity Seal pages.
*[[Magistratum Enforcer]]s stuff. Add locations and double check some additional fluff additions. Foundation completed; add more images?
*Add more Crucis patterns to [[Crucis]] page; weapons and wargear. Take a closer look at psyker [[Vowguard]] gear.
*Make a page about [[Slaves]]/[[Slavery]] and covering each faction's use of slavery and other other notable instances. (akin to the WHFB fandom's slavery page.)
*Update [[ratling]]s page after [[Ogryn]]s page is updated.
*Update [[pylon]]s page to cover all pylon instances and provide an overview, rather than being limited to just [[Cadia]]n pylons. (Note-to-self: Coronal War has mention of CSM subverted pylons being used as [[noctilith]] warp gateways like on [[Demerium]].)
*[[Algae]] and algae accessories
*[[Highborn]] page b/c why isn't this a page already?
*Mono-God Chaos Cultists
*[[Chaos Cult]]/[[Cultist]] page revamp/expansion. Need mono-god cultist info gathered in one place, possibly on the respective god's page.
*Abhuman update campaign. All needing a face lift together: [[Ogryn]] (done), [[Ratling]] (mostly done), [[Beastmen]], [[Abhuman]], [[Militarum Auxilla]], [[Mutant]]
*Assess the [[Ork Language]] page. Expand their runes/lexicon sections.
*[[List of Terms]] is a weird page. Reassess it as a more functional/informative navigational page and give face-lift, if needed.
*[[https://40k.gallery/artist/anastasiya-landasseln/ anastasiya-landasseln art for book events in Rogue Trader game]]
*Horus Heresy Legions Card Game art and info etc etc [[https://www.horusheresylegions.com/legions-card-list/ card archive]]
*[[Rogue Trader: The Koronous Bestiary]]

===Armours===
Add armour sets relating to worlds.

*Ex. add all the [[Crucis]] armour sets to [[Crucis]]. Obscurus, illissi, etc.

==Sourcing Darktide==
Still figuring out the best way to source a game like Darktide. Most lore comes in a sentence or two of bite sized nuggets and a couple pages, like [[Moebian Domain]] and [[Moebian Regiments]] could easily have 30-50 items linked for various info. Character pages might be challenging to source since much is learned from various pieces of dialogue that can only be vaguely referenced, at best.

There is also the Luetin09 "Deep Dive Lore" video about the history of the [[Moebian Domain]]. Thankfully much of it is being reiterated in various in-game item descriptions, however, there are some pieces of info that are still solely found in his video. It was officially endorsed and prompted by Fatshark as a form of prerelease content to hype up the fanbase. While not stated explicitly to be sponsored by Fatshark, it's officially endorsed by Fatshark, the developers for Darktide.

===Source Images (WIP)===
Darktide image repository for source image preservation yet to be created. Naming format of the page is yet to be decided.

'''Image Source Types & Formatting:'''
*Item description  - full screen
*Item bundle - full screen
*Quote (npc) - crop subtitles
*Quote (npc conversation) - crop subtitles & edit into top-down sequential order
*Quote (Player) - crop subtitles (no way to identify class/personality)
*Quote (Player conversation) - cropped subtitles & edit into top-down sequential order

*Misc/speculative - Environmental related quotes?

===Item Descriptions===
Item description are locked behind a time-gate and pay-gate of a rotating shop inventory. Some items cannot be read at all after being purchased, with the only text being in the shop, for example, accessories and weapon skins. This is the easy to reference, but hard to verify/double-check sources for anything behind one of these gates, unless a screenshot is archived somewhere.

===In Game Dialogue===
'''NPC Character Dialogue'''

The main npc characters are more reliable sources since the desired reference can be triggered during specific missions at specific trigger locations/actions.

For example, the quote from Zola referenced below can be narrowed down to a specific character, map or mission, and the trigger location in that map or mission{{Fn|1a}}. Most mission director dialogue normally only have 1-4 different variants. One of the dialogue option for that trigger is played when reaching a specific location in the mission, or at the start and end of an event during a mission. This narrows the referenced dialogue line down a specific of a point in the game.

All of the lines of dialogue for a specific area/director generally imply the same meaning, or add a different perspective or detail to a certain subject or area encountered.{{Fn|1a}}

So NPC character dialogue has be divided into '''Mission Director Dialogue''' and '''Hub Vox Comms Dialogue'''.


'''Inter-Player Character Conversation Dialogue'''

Player character conversations mid-game are challenging to reference, resulting in vague sources, but some conversations contain world-building that must be noted. There isn't a good way to cite it due to it being an RNG conversation that randomly occurs during the downtime between fighting large hordes of enemies. So it is still cited but can only be done vaguely, at best.

It is harder to reference in game dialogue from player characters due to the random nature of dialogue occurrences and many player-to-player dialogue conversations depend are a certain combination of personalities from the same or different classes.

The npc reference example only narrows the source down to one of the 3 personalities (voice actors) of the veteran class (1 of the 4 classes){{Fn|1b}}. Unfortunately, this only narrows the reference down to a few hundred lines of dialogue{{Fn|1b}}.

There are some more reliable lines for class/personality combos that have map-specific triggers, seen in the third example{{Fn|1c}}. This specific example uses [[Metalfab 36]], a map with 3 variants for different missions. The specific dialogue being referenced "This manufactorum supplies at least half the subsector, or that's what I overheard from Rannick." has a chance of triggering at the start of any of the three missions for the ''Metalfab 36''.

An idea for sourcing quotes from specific conversations here, the quote in mind being the one mentioning Atoma's "riveting [[camelid]] races"{{Fn|2a}}. The format being "Class & Personality / Class & Personality". Character gender doesn't normally matter, since most lines are shared. There are a few disparities between occassional dialogues, such as  the female voice has Male Psyker Loner and Female Zealot Fanatic lines about how she believes Morrow wants her to fail or other psyker dialogue where she apologizes to a psyker about trying to kill them before on the Mourningstar. There isn't any easy way to confirm whether a voice file is shared (as far as I'm aware). So the attempt to clarify these things still feels moderately futile.

**{{Endn|1a}}: ''Zola - Warrens 6-19 - Obscura Den''

**{{Endn|1c}}: ''Veteran Professional - Metalfab 36 - Mission Start''
*2: [[Warhammer 40,000: Darktide]] - ''In Game Dialogue'' - ''Inter-Player Character Conversation''
**{{Endn|2a}}: ''Psyker Savant / Zealot Judge''
**{{Endn|2a}}: ''Female Fanatic Zealot / Male Psyker Loner'' - ''During elevators and loading doors''


Hello :) Just double checking that you are familiar with the Lexicanum citation rules for citing video games:
