The Zork Compendium is mainly broken down into three sections: The History of Zork (approximately a 300 page document detailing the entire history of Zork from its creation at the hands of Eru to its end, using all available sources [especially Nino Ruffini's unpublished "History of Quendor"] and trying to remain as faithful as possible to these sources), an incredibly expanded and detailed Encyclopedia Frobozzica complete with as many illustrations as could be found, and a map section (special entries and material from Lurking Horror are denoted by either Red Text or Red Background, since this is a deutro-canonical source).

The Zork Compendium is a current work-in-progress. Update/things needed to be done:

1. Finishing the Legends of Zork entries (a few misc. things from quests)
2. Finishing the Return to Zork entries (new information from design documents)
3. Finishing some misc lengthy entries throughout the entire series.
4. Adding more images (there is still quite a bit more to add)
5. Contining the long process of adding hyperlinks within each entry for easy navigation between topics
6. Contining adding the sources for each entry
   
7. I have tracked down more rare documents and am in the process of acquiring them (or copies of them) from people who have them. These include: ZGI design documents, Sorcerer & Zork Zero design documents, original drafts of Zork Choose-Your-Own-Adventurer Novels.
   

While I have spent many hours hunting down rare Zork documents (see sources), I am desperately looking to acquire more resources, especially the ZGI design documents and node maps, and any design artwork or maps for any of the games. I plan to upload all the rare documents in the future, once the full compendium is finished.

Please report spelling/grammer typos (there are probably many still) and suggestions, as well as if you have any material from my want list (see sources) to: [email protected] (there is an underscore "_" between "lord" and "skylark")

There is absolutely no charge to view this website, however, I have made an option for freewill donations. One should not feel obligated to donate, or guilty if they do not donate as I am happy to provide this as a resource both for the Zork community and those who wish to continue advancing the Zork franchise (although the resale of this material is forbidden).
