ValkyonHQ:About

Valkyon Headquarters

The “Valkyon Headquarters”, also known as “Valkyon HQ”, is a multifunctional fansite of the game TERA, which aim is to become the most complete database and a main reference for everyone, from the newest players to the most veterans. Being multifunctional gives us two major duties: to gather all and every new coming up daily and, at the same time, analyze and deliver that gathered data within the database, giving all the community the chance to learn more about the game, its mechanics and a lot more.

Our motto consists of two single words: freedom and transparency. The Valkyon Headquarters are an open Wiki that anyone can edit. This gives to the community the freedom to add anything they want and they must not be afraid about any kind of censorship. Freedom of speech is a principle for us. At the same time, as we give the freedom to our users, we compensate them with an open administration. All our users, contributors or not, will be informed in great detail about the major movements of the project. You will always know what will be done with your work.

Principles

The Valkyon Headquarters are built on two single principles: freedom and transparency.

Freedom

Freedom is the condition or right of being able or allowed to do, say, think, etc. whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited.

Transparency

Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. Transparent procedures include open meetings, financial disclosure statements, freedom of information legislation, budgetary review, audits, etc.

Joining the team

ValkyonHQ is a project started a few months ago by an individual willing to expand his ideals and knowledge. Anyone is free to edit, but you might feel interested to join a new site with a new team, sharing your own ideals and knowledge and help the community with your commitment. If you got what it takes, read this article and follow the instructions stated there.

Multilingual support

English is the main language used here in ValkyonHQ but we are also looking for dedicated sites or committed groups of users willing to expand TERA among other languages. Do you own a non-english fansite and want to expand your project with a wiki? You’re a group of community users willing to start a wiki-project in your language? Read more about this!
