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.


Egypt-Wide Chat Channels

To chat with all Egypt in game, type /join egypt into the chat box.

To access the trading channel, type /join Troll Free Trades into the chat box. The list of moderators, rules, and elders are on the Troll Free Trades page.

To access a player run event and educational information channel, type /join speed. This channel is still getting up and running.

All of these Channels are player run and, by design of the game developers, require a player to put each message sent to them through. Messages sent to these channels can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours to display, if posted at all, due to the design of the interface.

How to Log In

Note that only people with T5 accounts can log into and edit the wiki. Anyone can read the wiki without an account.

The ATitD wiki uses OpenID to manage login accounts, allowing you to use the same user name in the game, in the forums, and on the wiki without setting up additional accounts. You can find login instructions on the OpenID page.

If you have problems logging in, please come to #atitd-wiki in IRC, or contact Nchanter or Rogarian in-game or by forum PM.

Events

See the Events page.

Cats have arrived in Egypt: See the Cats page.

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 T5ok small.gif {{5ok}} to mark specific information as having been verified. Information that still needs to be verified should be marked with T5N.gif {{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.)
