The Templin Institute

The Templin Institute is a Canadian YouTube channel created in 2017 by Marc Gerst. They make videos explaining the lore behind various fantasy and science fiction universes, framed as of a team of interdimensional travelers "investigating the organizations, figures, and places of alternate worlds". The channel was hosted from 2017 through early 2020 by Larissa Thompson, and since then by Stephen Trafford.
In addition to its explainer videos, the Templin Institute also has a separate series called Incoming in which Marc himself dives into various fictional universes and explains his own personal thoughts on them. Their second channel, Templin Direct, also publishes Incoming-style Shorts.
They are also the creators of the Stellaris fan series Stellaris Invicta, in which they create and lead interstellar human empires.
