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.

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.)
