I’ve managed to update the Wiki with a lot of Vadi in the last few weeks (I may even have completed the Vadi longsword interpretation section by the time this goes out). Check it out here:

There is also a ton of Capoferro stuff and Fiore stuff up there. Have a poke around and share anything you find useful with your friends.
