I chose my name as a re-spelling of the Arabic girl's name Taliba, meaning "Seeker of Knowledge." I played briefly in Tale 2, and found that my favorite pastime was to work with others to figure out details of game mechanics, so that name seems appropriate. (Of course, an Arabic name may be less appropriate for ancient than modern Egyptians, I'm going to say that it's close enough.)

Citizenship 
The citizenship tasks listed below will help guide you through the beginning of the game.
- Gather Slate near a shoreline
- Learn Stone Blade Fabrication (School of Architecture)
- Make a Stone Blade (Skills Menu)
- Gather Wood from a Tree
- Learn Carpentry (School of Architecture)
- Build a Wood Plane (Projects Menu)
- Gather Sand
- Gather Mud near a Shoreline
- Gather Grass
- Dry Grass into Straw (Drop menu)
- Make Bricks using a Brickrack
- Get Flax Seeds from a School of Art and Music
- Plant Flax Seeds
- Let the Flax Bed go wild, and harvest Seeds
- Weed a flax bed several times and harvest the Flax
- Learn Flax Processing (School of Art and Music)
- Rot Flax in the water

- Gather Thorns (click on plants to find a species that has thorns)
- Build a Flax Comb
- Process flax on the flax comb until you get Tow
- Learn the Clothwork skill (School of Art and Music)
- Build a Small Distaff
- Spin Tow into Twine
- Clean up by tearing down your Wood Plane
Materials needed
- 7 Slate to learn Stone Blade Fabrication
- 3 Stone Blades to learn Carpentry
- (maybe 4 Slate per Stone Blade?)
- 4 Slate + 1 Stone Blade to build the Wood Plane
- 4 Boards to learn Brick Rack Construction
- 4 Boards to build a Flimsy Brick Rack
- 18 Boards + 36 Bricks + 60 Thorns to build a Flax Comb
- 18 Wood for Boards
- maybe another Stone Blade to repair the Wood Plane
- 36 Bricks = 6 Sand + 12 Grass/Straw + 18 Mud
- maybe another 4 Boards for a replacement Flimsy Brick Rack
- 20 Flax to learn Flax Processing
- 1 Flax/Rotten Flax to process on the Flax Comb to get Tow
- 20 Flax/Rotten Flax to learn Clothwork
- 12 Boards + 100 Bricks + 10 Wood to build a Small Distaff
- 22 Wood all told
- maybe another Stone Blade to repair the Wood Plane
- 100 Bricks = 17 Sand + 34 Grass/Straw + 51 Mud
- probably replace the Flimsy Brick Rack once or twice (8 more Boards) and maybe another Stone Blade
So, with this information and guesses about repair & failure rates:
- Slate = 11: 7 (skill) + 4 (Wood Plane)
- Stone Blades = 8-9: 4 (skill + Wood Plane), plus maybe 4 or 5 for repairs?
- Translation: Slate = 30 to 50
- Wood = 10 (Small Distaff)
- Boards/Wood = 38: 4 (skill) + 4 (Flimsy Brick Rack) + 18 (Flax Comb) + 12 (Small Distaff)
- additional 1-3 Flimsy Brick Racks as they wear out
- Flax = 20 (skill)
- Flax/Rotten Flax = 21: 1 (Tow/Twine) + 20 (skill)
- Bricks = 136: 36 (Flax Comb) + 100 (Small Distaff)
- Thorns = 60
