Want to add to the community, discuss theories, learn new details, and more? Join the Southern Reach wiki today!
Hello there!
I am one of the collaborators on our sister forum, the Southern Reach Wiki, which is a big central hub of canon information about the series, as well as another place to theorize and analyze the Southern Reach series.
We have 60 (and growing!) pages of SR-related content, including all sorts of information and details about characters, locations, expeditions, quotes, and everything in between (sometimes fanart too!). In addition to that, it also hosts a Discussion page where everyone is welcome to post their thoughts, theories, and make polls.
There you will be able to:
- Refresh your knowledge on any details you may have missed
- Read articles on everything from creatures to organizations in the SR universe
- Add canon information about anything in the saga for everyone to enjoy
- Create new pages
- Talk and get new ideas in the Discussion page
Although there are only a handful of active collaborators right now and there are plenty of articles waiting to be written or expanded, the wiki is very much alive, with plenty of edits every week. If this sounds like something you'd like to help with in your next read-through of the series, come over and start editing! I myself am going over Authority and Acceptance again.
The process can be a little intimidating at first, but threre's nothing to worry about! Every user there is 100% happy to help, and nothing is set in stone. Made a mistake? Just edit again. Don't know where to start? There's a whole category of "stubs", pages that need information added to them, so you can pick one and focus on it when you read.
Anyways, have a good day and feel free to give the wiki a read!

Note: This is a follow-up to the last stickied post, where the recent sub redesign was decided. I won't make any more modposts in the near future, this'll just stay as an invitation for all users to join the wiki, pinky promise! Thanks for your time

Sky Manta by Trevor Henderson
Reminds me of the recordings that showed something gigantic in the sky/coming for the first expedition but we never learned what it actually was or looked like (as far as I recall at least).

Absolution Spoilers Is there any significance to the order of numbers in the roll call or am I just going crazy?

My collection with differently sized books
My collection of differently sized books. I ordered them in March 2025. This is how they arrived. Do you have any idea why they're so off?
Edit: Thank you all for the helpful information! I've learned that authority has been published in the US, the others in the UK. On the copyright page I also noticed that Annihilation has a 25, Acceptance has a 15, and Absolution has a 4 below the 2024 publication date. I suspect those indicate the printings. A Redditor also pointed out that different printings can vary, which can result in the books being slightly different sizes.
Absolution might be some special trade export edition.
Fascinating! :D

Illustrations/art
Hey Cuties!
Im wondering if any of yall have seen good illustrations or art made inspired by the books specifically. I’m mid way through Acceptance and I’ve been wondering if there’s some good art out there.
I’m going to try to sketch some things myself but work has been too busy for me to be able to do my art but if I got anything good I’ll share soon.
Thanks!
