What franchises, settings, etc., do you find the most interesting in terms of the lore that has been developed behind the scenes.
Lord of the Rings
Star Trek
Star Wars
The Elder Scrolls (the one I personally enjoy)
And many many more.
You know the drill. The lore behind some works of fiction even include fully developed languages and cultures. It's really impressive (sad or otherwise) the extent to which people create their worlds and the extent to which fans commit this information to memory and argue the more ambiguous points endlessly.
So what are your favorite settings in this regard? Which do you know the most about or took the time to research/learn?
A couple of threads I saw on the front page prompted my creating this topic. Fan-fiction is definitely related to this subject, as well as "what if" questions (Han Dynasty in Middle Earth).
