Okay, here's the deal. All of the facts are either from the series or mentioned in articles about the series. They are kind of in order right now but they are not complete yet. As I was typing these notes I remembered stuff I didn't have notes for. An example is that Saja has told some stories about Sophia that I don't have on here yet. So these notes are far from complete. If you are curious about a fact's origin or something is confusing please let me know at swanscrosser@yahoo.com . Please note that this runs over 30 pages long so if you plan to print it be prepared.
