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.

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.

We also have a voice chat server setup for Mumble.

Shard Namespace Guide

  • The first shard of the appropriate telling is the main shard of the wiki. All root pages should refer to the main shard.
  • Any information which refers solely to any shard other than the main shard should be placed a sub-page named after the shard. E.g. the Bastet version of Foraging should be at Foraging/Bastet. This means any Bastet page should have the same path as the equivalent main shard page with "/Bastet" added at the end.
  • If other shard versions of a page exist but the main shard version of a page does not exist, then please create a stub article for the main shard.
  • All pages which have multiple shard versions should include links to all other versions at the top of the page.
  • People will make mistakes implementing this policy. If anyone who has the ability to edit sees something which does not follow this policy it is both their responsibility and right to fix it.



Please read the Shard editing guide

How to Log In

If you have problems logging in, please contact FaceAnkh ingame (or just FaceAnkh by IRC, forum PM, etc).

Before you can log in you must set your webpass in game: Log into the game and type /webpass atitd.org password (meaning you replace password with your password).

Once you have created a web pass you log in here with "Login with OpenId" (top right).

Your open id is atitd.org/openid/YourName.

You should be sent to a page to then type in your account name and password you set in game with the webpass command. If you logged in to openid recently, it won't ask again.

If you forget your password, just re-set it in-game by using the webpass command again.
