'''What is Achaea Wiki?'''<br>
|-
This is the official wiki for the text-based MUD [http://www.achaea.com Achaea]. Any character who has played at least 300 hours can contribute to the wiki. It's simple - just log in with your character name and password, and you're ready to go! See the [[AchaeaWiki:Contributing_Guidelines|contributing guidelines]] for further information.
|align="left" style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; color: #000;"|'''What are the Archives?'''
 
* A player-written encyclopedia for the vast virtual world of [http://www.achaea.com Achaea].
'''What rules are in place for using Achaea Wiki?'''<br>
* A compendium of history, mythology, bestiary, geography, and other studies of Achaea.
Please see the [[AchaeaWiki:Contributing_Guidelines|contributing guidelines]] for specific policies regarding the wiki. [http://www.achaea.com/tos.php Achaea's Terms of Service] also apply.
* A place where new and old explorers and lore-lovers of Achaea can share and expand their knowledge.
