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.

The Staff of Life
Sunday, June 28, 2009 All of Egypt
Wheat, from which comes bread, the Staff of Life. We will have a Wheat growing event
You will have to build a silo, for 200 boards and 20 canvas, if you don't already have one. Wheat grown within 32 coordinates of the silo will automatically be contributed to the silo. The owner of the silo will get credit for the wheat. Silo owners can win prizes for the most debens of wheat contributed to the silo, the most number of beds that are contributed to the silo, or the greatest number of workers that contribute to the silo. An individual can also win prizes for having the greatest number of Peers, people that have given wheat to silo which you have also given wheat.
Prizes will be:
*1 Huntsman's Fishing Pole for the top in each category
For Total Debens:
*5 Silk Cloth by Lottery to 7 people
*50 Thoth's Metal to each of the top 7
*20 Cuttable Turquoise to each of the top 21
For Beds:
*1 Portable Cornerstone by Lottery to 7 people
*50 Gold to each of the top 7
*100 Cement to each of the top 21
For Workers:
*250 Raw Silk by Lottery to 7 people
*50 Moon Steel to each of the top 7
*20 Cuttable Sunstone to each of the top 21
For Peers:
*7 Mining Pick by Lottery
*50 Water Metal to each of the top 7
*250 Concrete to each of the top 21

Pluribus has said that he's working on an intel native port for the OSX client. As such he's going MIA until 'the player meet probably', so give the guy some shhh, no more clinker bombs in his backyard!
