How We Keep the Field Notes Honest

Traceable sources, deliberate spoiler controls, and a clear line between a useful answer and an unverified claim.

Independent fan editorialUpdated October 7, 2026No plot spoilers

What counts as evidence

We prioritize author, publisher, and official product pages. Book references name the work used; page and chapter details are only added when reliably established. Recorded firsthand observation can support a narrow observation, but not a universal rule.

  • Verified: a statement supported by a named, traceable source.
  • Observed: a direct observation with a defined setting and date.
  • Unconfirmed: a question without sufficient evidence.
  • Outdated: a prior statement superseded by newer information.

Community screenshots can suggest something to investigate. They do not establish a bonding probability or guarantee a particular outcome.

Spoilers should be a choice

Home and quiz copy avoid plot reveals. The field index marks first-book scope and uses explicit controls for dragon–rider bonds. Later-book identities, deaths, and relationship changes are omitted from this initial index.

Hidden information is not protected or secret: it exists in the page source, but remains inside a deliberate disclosure rather than a visual blur. Metadata and share images avoid relationship spoilers.

Dates and corrections

“Updated” records an actual content change. “Checked” identifies a source review, not a claim that the complete official experience was tested. Rebuilding the website does not automatically change either date.

Corrections should include a specific page, a source, and a book scope when relevant. After reviewing a material correction, update the affected content and its date. We do not invent an editorial staff, expertise, or a correction history.

Commercial boundaries

This build contains no advertising or affiliate links. Any later commercial relationship needs a clear disclosure near the relevant recommendation and an updated privacy description.
