    Welcome to the Shining Lore & Translation Wiki! This wiki is in the early stages of its composition with research now encompassing 148 articles. More coverage is to follow.
    Are you looking for the Doom Blade translation?

    The purpose of the Shining Lore & Translation Wiki is to catalog information pertaining to the stories, settings, and characters depicted in the games in Sega's Shining series. This includes the early games developed by Climax, Sonic, and Camelot and extends to later releases developed by other studios like Nextech, Amusement Vision, Neverland, and Media.Vision.

    Coverage also includes games by related developers, as well as games originally planned as Shining games that were eventually released without the brand, such as Land Stalker and Ragnacënty.

    This wiki intends to serve as a resource for references related to the original Japanese releases of the games and their relevant publications by providing translated materials and translation notes. The wiki also provides a directory for scans of such publications.

    Articles related to individual characters, specific settings, and other story elements are likely to contain unmarked SPOILERS for their associated games. These articles are generally intended as a supplement documenting key information for readers already familiar with the materials covered and for those interested in clarification of known details.

    This wiki does not follow an in-universe perspective and records information as it is presented in each piece of media without regard for any single overarching canon. Articles are written using references that are authoritative to the given source material.

    The Shining Lore & Translation Wiki maintains an ethos of game research and preservation. As such, it also seeks to document the development histories of the Shining games covered.

    This wiki does not serve as a gameplay strategy guide.
