Literature

The Literature section of the wiki is a bit different from the rest of the wiki. The entire MassiveCraft wiki is written like an encyclopedia, with in-character and out-of-character facts and information regarding all aspects of Aloria. Meanwhile, Literature is supposed to be taken strictly in-character. This means that while characters cannot cite wiki articles as their source for knowledge, they can cite and even quote the below works.

Fictional Prose

The children sat around the nanny, listening eagerly for the end of the tale

With everything from children’s bedtime stories to mythological epics, to even full stories and narratives, Fictional Prose is often considered a category to lump works into if they don’t fit any other mold.

Drama

The dying aristocrat stared his queen in the eyes. "Et tu, Arriane?"

Beneath drama itself there are many subcategories such as tragedy, heroic drama, one act plays and satire.
