The Sorcerer's Conspectus:

A comprehensive view of Andre Norton's Witch World

by Lotsawatts

This is a culmination of years of work by Mike Brenner aka: Indagare, Jay Demetrick aka: Metaldragon and Jay Watts aka: Lotsawatts. The main theme is a timeline for the happenings within the Witch World Universe by Andre Norton. There are multiple versions of the timeline available which allows one to see the places where continuity got a little confused.

By the time Andre had finished “The Magestone” in 1996 the Witch World Universe had gotten so big that she commissioned Juanita Coulson to create an index for the universe [seen here] so that she (Andre) could write “The Warding of Witch World”. Juanita’s work is more of a dictionary and does not try to tie all the stories together. Her work has therefore been split up and included in each story's entry.

The Sorcerer's Conpectus is more of an encyclopedia of Witch World. It defines the people, places and events of the Witch World Universe and explains how it all fits together. It also discusses where things do not seem to fit. This is a massive amount of work which I would never have attempted by myself. It consists of a hundred seventy plus pages on the wiki platform

We hope you enjoy and find it both interesting and useful. ~ Lotsawatts aka: Jay P. Watts

 

NOTE: The Sorcerer who started the wiki pages was named Elwher and they seem to have disappeared. His last contribution at elwher.wikidots.com was in 2013, Metaldragon and Indagare then continued expanding the wikidot site and I have obtained permission from both to duplicate their work on this site. On occasion we do try to reach Elwher to get permission to use his real name.
