Hello people of the wiki!

Today I ran into a minor problem regarding what lore should, or should not, be considered canon. Looking for a consensus on what others think. This issue, in turn, causes trouble when it comes to what lore should stay in, or be removed from, articles.

Long story short, the Drangleic page uses Flame Lash, a pyromancy from the network test, as reference to a group of pyro-warriors known as the "Defenders". The issue with this is that no other source of this information appears to exist. So, should it be considered canon? It is technically in-game, but at the same time it's not.

Quick explanation of canon: If something is canon or not basically means if it should be considered official or not. An in-game description or developer interview is a canon source of information, as they originate from FromSoftware, while speculation is not canon, as it originates from one or more players.

Please vote in the poll below, and feel free to leave a reply explaining why you voted for or against.

Should removed item descriptions and dialogue be considered canon? Yes No
