From A Tale in the Desert
About Me - Level 41 / Journeyman of the Human Body
I started playing about 9 months into the original Tale, settling in what is now Queen's Retreat (then it was called Southern Egypt/Eastern Grounds). I really enjoyed the game, but I joined so late that I was too far behind to be any real good, and I was still a student and the monthly fee was a little too much for me to pay. During my Tale stint, I passed the Initiation of Body, Art, and Architecture, but never passed any of the tests. I returned to the game just recently (the beginning of October, 2009) and started to get into it once again by joining a guild, build a compound, setting up a mine, etc.
I am currently live in Shabbat Ab at 1023, 1488 (see map below). I have a CP that has been donated to my guild GBSF, along with a camel pen, rabbit hutch, and sheep pen.
