Writers of history 

The phrase “writers of history” refers to illegitimate historians who falsely document historical events. Usually, this is done to portray their own group/country in a more positive manner. These illegitimate historians may also erase historical documentation or portray another group/country in a negative manner.

Broadly, this is in the definition of Historical negationism. Generally, when a group is conquered by another and has the resources to to tell the history these “writers of history” go into effect.

The Roman Empire swiftly conquered the nations around it. As it spread, the writers of history spread false information about its many wars and atrocities as being justified. The most foul crimes were merely lost to history while its adversaries fight was distorted and set in stone.

Quasi-lore 

Quasi-lore is defined as a story that does not fully, or entirely explain its history, but instead motivates the audience to draw their own conclusions, and expand upon the story itself. You could think of it as looking at the ruins of a society. Some of the remains may be destroyed or alien, because of the incomplete information. Therefore, this motivates you to look deeper, drawing conclusion to things that may, or may not have a connection.

Quasi means almost or resembling. So, quasi-lore is hints and clues. This term was originally coined by Minecraft Abnormals from the video, “Minecraft Quasi-Lore and How to Build on it”.

Guy: “Hey, Dude, I got a game to show you. It’s called Galatic Adventures into Old Territory. It has a type of Quasi-lore where your exploring alien planets that were destroyed by some consistent, yet mysterious force.”

Dude: “Wow, Guy, that is a wonderful game that I will definitely play.”
