Welcome to Achaeapedia: Archives of Achaean Lore!
What are the Archives?
  • A player-written encyclopedia for the vast virtual world of Achaea.
  • A compendium of history, mythology, bestiary, geography, and other studies of Achaea.
  • A place where new and old explorers and lore-lovers of Achaea can share and expand their knowledge.
What are the Archives not?
  • The Archives run on MediaWiki software, but it is not a pure wiki. That means not anyone can contribute; editing is restricted-access only.
So I'm here. Where do I go?
  • You can search for anything you like,
  • Browse the available Categories,
  • See what's been changed or added recently in the Recentchanges page,
  • And much more. Check out the sidebar!
But doesn't this defeat the purpose of finding knowledge within the game?
  • Quest information and information that helps you further your character in the game will not be included in the Archives, excepting in certain special contexts.
  • Those who wish to gain information solely through their characters in Achaea may still do so; this supplementary material is an optional tool, not a forced replacement.
  • There will still be much in Achaea not accessible here, such as the esoteric knowledge of Houses and Divine Orders.
Why can't I create an account?
  • Only those approved to contribute to the Archives may create an account.
Who can contribute?
