Accessed 21 October 2018.

==Canon==
The quest starts with the khajiit Katia Managan arriving in Cyrodiil, having emigrated from Hammerfell. She struggles with alcoholism, poverty, a phobia of royalty, and her own self-worth. She takes to heart one character's unkind assessment of her: "It's okay. You tried your best. Your 'best' just happened to be slightly worse than everyone else's 'average'."

===Collaborators===
On September 22nd, 2013, Kazerad started using collaborators for PREQUEL on a regular basis.Cider's first credit, probably added retroactively, is on this page. A couple days later, Kazerad explained his choice in a comment on the site:
==Fandom==
The fandom mostly seems to congregate on the PREQUEL website and a large percentage of the fandom has definitely come from the Homestuck fandom. The comment sections under each update are where discussion tends to happen, and they try not to get off-topic. A 2015 featured comment sums up the ideal state of the comment section:
Some parts of the fandom ship Katia and Quill-Weave, although canon has seemingly made it clear that it won't happen.
