I have a question for fantasy authors. Published or aspiring. What kind of information, or what would you find most useful in an encyclopedia/compendium of fantasy races and creatures?

Brandon Reed Cultural details of the sentient ones, for sure.

Road Master So, for example, Dwarves. Mining, crafting, treasure hoarding? Stuff like that?

Azelyn Klein Pictures! I like a good visual, but I know not every writer is an artist or artist friends. So maybe basic physical description, languages, cultures, religions, average lifespan, etc. Also, are we talking an encyclopedia book in general or at the end of a novel?
