1. The short version
2. A work of fiction
The Barrier Keepers and its companion content are works of fiction. The names, characters, organizations, places, and incidents are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to real events, is coincidental.
3. Real history, handled with respect
The Barrier Keepers also engages real, documented history — including the history of slavery and systemic oppression, which has touched many peoples across many eras of human history. Where the series draws on that history, it is presented as serious, factual history and handled with documentary respect. It is the somber reality the heroes stand against — never glamorized, never decorative, and never a how-to.
4. Invented history and mythology
Alongside real history, the series includes the author’s own mythology — invented places, events, and explanations woven through the story for dramatic purposes. These imaginative elements are not historical claims and should not be read as fact.
