Malazan Wiki:New Readers Zone

### About this wiki and this page

This wiki is documenting all there is to know about the Malazan World created by Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont.
This page is designed to help new readers find those parts of the Malazan Wiki which can be accessed safely without coming across spoilers.
 As with all these things though... we are human and so cannot one hundred percent guarantee this.
#### General

All content pages are written in past tense - it does not indicate that a character is dead. A character may have a section in a book even if only mentioned by someone else so again it does not indicate whether the character is dead or alive nor if the character appears in person within that book.
#### Spoiler avoidance tips

* NEVER use web search engines

* Mobile phone? DO NOT use default view - spoiler controls won't work! Switch to 'full site view' at bottom of mobile page instead
* Set screen to high zoom level so that it is safer to scroll
* Do not look past headers of books you have not yet read - anywhere on this Wiki
* Do not hover over blanked out lines
* Stick to character and book chapter pages as they follow book sequence, avoid other, more general info pages (Warrens for example) if you are pretty new to the series.

#### Reading Order

Check out the Suggested reading order page for different options. The lay-out of this page follows the published order, with the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Erikson first, followed by Esslemont's Novels of the Malazan Empire. This order is also used to display information on the majority of character pages.
#### Chapter Summaries

Work in progress but many are already available. A summary should contain no information beyond that chapter, however, clicking on a link within a summary may take you outside of the safe zone. For an overview on how far the summaries have progressed or if you would like to take on a chapter, visit the 'Adopt a chapter' page.
#### Spoiler icons

 = safe
 = unsafe

Articles which have passed the ongoing vetting process for spoiler-friendly display will be marked with an open eye symbol at the top of the page itself as well as next to its name in the Dramatis Personae listings. Do not visit those marked with a closed eye if you have not yet read all the Malazan books and want to avoid major spoilers. The symbols do not currently show in mobile view. Articles are considered safe where spoiler content is displayed in the order in which it appears in the books under relevant headers.
#### What's on

Visit Dujek's Command Tent for a quick update on what is happening around the Wiki, tips about editing, useful links and other general info. The page itself should be spoiler free. Links may lead to pages containing spoilers.
#### Fan art

We have sorted the fan art into book categories. Only view categories for books you have completed. The Spoiler free fan art category is suitable for those who have not yet read any of the books.
#### Pronunciation Guide

Discover how the authors pronounce words like "Malazan", "Jaghut", or "T'lan Imass" in our Pronunciation Guide.
