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. Visit the community portal for lots of info on current events, debates on the forums, or just random chatter. These links and many more can be found in the wiki sidebar to the left.

Anyone with an ATITD game account can edit any page on this site, but you have to first log in. 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 T4 wiki.

We also have a voice chat server set up for Mumble.

Citizens of Egypt,

I'm writing to announce the release of the final 5 Tests of A Tale in the Desert V, including an update of a Test not seen since our first Tale in the Desert, the Test of Astrological Alignment. In celebration of this, we'll also have a Welcome Back Weekend,
starting: Friday, July 8, beginning at 12:00 Noon EDT (GMT-0400)

In the Test of Astrological Alignment, you perform a simple ritual at a Common Altar with one other priest. The ritual will reveal whether you are "aligned" with that other priest. The goal of the Test is to find a group of 5 priests, all aligned with each other.

Starting with this Tale, we'll be holding player gathering toward the end of the current Tale, rather than at the beginning of the next Tale. The Tale 5 gathering will take place in Pittsburgh next month:

August 19 - August 21, 2011

As is tradition, we are selling pet monkeys (with some new animations) in-game, for $75. Each monkey comes with one free admission to the Tale 5 Player Gathering.

At the gathering you'll get a chance to meet fellow ATITD players in real-life, discuss Tests and Technologies for A Tale in the Desert VI, enjoy excellent food & beverages, and pet a real camel. Well, we'll see about the camel part. We are planning a Sunday trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo as part of the gathering.

Hotel reservations can be made by calling the Wyndham University Place at 1-412-688-1982 and speaking to Josh McDaniel. Mention "ATITD" and give both your real name and character name.

Pittsburgh on the Nile, Teppy (Pharaoh)

Community

• Community portal front page
• Forums
• Mumble voice chat and who's online?
• IRC: #atitd on sorcery.net
• Web based IRC client (goes to #atitd on Sorcery.Net by default)
• Player Information Player Information Voluntary Player Contact Information for sharing, information, contacting you if you go missing. Only players can access editing, but anyone can see your email. Therefore it is highly recommended that you integrate a new email address into whatever mail service you have that is solely for atitd. But don't make it one of those ones that you NEVER check, or what's the point?

Information from Tale 4

If you copy information directly from an old Tale, make sure you tag the page with the {{T4}} template so that it is clear that the information needs checking!

Also, as we clean up these pages please use {{5ok}} to mark specific information as having been verified. Information that still needs to be verified should be marked with {{5}}. Once all information has been marked with one of these, the T4 banner can be removed from the heading of the page, helping eliminate confusion. (See the Skills page for an example.)
