"And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost." Long has the lore of the Edain mod been nothing but a
collection of loose pages and
riddles lost in time. BUT NO LONGER!! The Edain Wiki Team is proud to present to you the:
The Wiki is an ongoing project which aims to encompass all the data of the Edain Mod under the form of articles, whether it is the units, heroes, buildings or spellbook powers. Or as we like to say:
"Concise communication of all the information easily to all the Companions of Edain"(the wiki's mission). Now, when I said that the wiki is an ongoing project I meant that is such a huge project having to take every unit, hero, building and spell from a mod as exhaustive in its lore accuracy as the Edain mod is an exhausting project, from the 4 different forms of
Aragorn to the complex outpost systems of the factions without forgetting the unique spellbook, ring heroes, dwarven faction system and so on... This project is planned over several years during which we hope to form a community of fans of the Edain Mod with various dedication levels which take interest in sharing their knowledge with newcomers (or oldcomers, you learn something new everyday). In the end the Wiki will be a massive project with hundreds of pages which is why below follows a short guide to getting around the wiki:
- Factions Page: each faction is linked and summarized there.
- Help Page: this is where you can read about getting help, if you have a specific questions checkout the forums
- Table of Content Page: this page lists every main "hub" which links to other pages and linking to other pages, it is the best way to get around
- Ring Heroes Page: this is the list of all the ring heroes for the Edain Mod
- Main Page: this is the current main page, the link is automatically updated to always link to the main page as the one above links to the current main page and needs to be updated manually.
- Community Creations: this is where everything made by the community goes, whether map or submod, anything that affects the way the mod can be played.
- Installation: tutorial on how to install the mod and various other tips
- Multiplayer: tutorial on how to play online
But this is only a part of what the Wiki presents and each page is often fit with its own gallery, images and Table of Content for easier navigation. Along with that the Wiki-Navigation bar (at the top) provides you with a handful of useful links anytime, anyplace. However editing is a long and complex process which only the people who fit at least one criteria below can dare to try:
- you're currently reading this list and/or think it was going to be way different
Only if you fit one of the high-skilled criteria above (
) can you even dare to think of the possibility of editing the wiki. But on a more serious note, as you saw above, anyone can edit the wiki. It doesn't have to be a whole page, it can simply be a spelling mistake you saw, which happens more often than you think, you can also add some strategy tips for hero, faction or units or improve on the already existing design of the pages. You can even get some
help to familiarize yourself with the surroundings here and or go on the forums to ask your questions directly. You can also check out our
staff list to ask for help. Every month massive news post will be created, summarizing changes in the wiki this month along with shoutouts to top editors and newcomers.
So, with that being said, I bid you farewell and hope to see you on the wiki and if you have any question, feedback or suggestions you are also welcome to post them here.
