It all started when I was reading The Telling. That was at the time, among other short stories, my third Hainish novel. 

 

And I began to get a little confused. About names, places and planets. When I resorted to the internet, all information was scattered or too much simplistic. I felt insulted. And decided to call on Hainish forces, and started gathering data myself. 

 

It evolved, and I thought that it should be open to everybody like me, who would want a reliable source of content. To those who enjoys its artistry, or just to recall something out of that universe. 

 

Now I am going to do this in Ursula's memory…
