Main Page
Welcome to A Wiki in the Desert, a wiki for the Massively Multiplayer On-line Role-Playing Game A Tale in the Desert.
This wiki exists to document the game and to provide a community scratchpad for the players. You can find guides on things such as growing Flax, an Atlas of interesting places, and various personal pages created by the Users and Guilds. If you're looking to buy and sell, try Trading.
Anyone with an ATITD game account can edit any page on this site, but you have to log in first. Please read the user's guide and information on formatting to see how to edit, and read our Policies before editing. Politics are not welcome (exception: Users pages, but no personal attacks please) and, if you want to discuss something such as laws, you'll find the forums more suitable. If you have any difficulties, please ask around in game or contact a wiki admin.
If you have a suggestion for how to improve the wiki software, please add it to the Suggestions page. If you have a suggestion for improving the content, please just go ahead and do it! If you want to contribute but don't know how, start creating missing pages listed here, or verify the information in pages containing unchecked content copied from the T3 wiki.

Egyptian Heptathlon The First
Saturday, July 18, 2009 All of Egypt
Strength, Speed, Endurance, these are the hallmarks of the physical. But what of the mind? Does not clever weight against the strong? We have done this before, but this time we will truly exercise the mind. The event will be very short, so you must plan ahead.
In the Egyptian Heptathlon, there are seven events: Flax growing, Silt Collecting, Slate Finding, Grass Picking, Fishing, Wood Gathering, and Vegetable Growing of any type.
Scoring for each event is done on a curve - you'll get 100 points for growing the most flax of anyone, and about 75 points for growing half that amount. Your score for the Heptathlon is the sum of your individual event scores.
There will be 10 Island Blue Marble to the first place finisher
200 Brass will go to the Top 7
77 Cuttable Stones to the Top 21
and 21 Bronze will go to all who participate
