2 Lore Group
2.1 New chronology from 2194 to 2525
Gorias: I'm currently writing a new chronology, from 2194 to 2525. Actually, several ones, since it's a chronology per people and per power. It should be helpful for the future.
2.2 Chronicles starting from 2525
Everyone who wishes to help update the Lore wiki is welcome, for the chronology from 2525, by adding in it the events played in game. There aren't enough people in the event team for this, so any and every help is welcome. Of course the changes will need to be validated (with the logo of the official validation).
Q: When you say adding events in the chronology, you don't mean making chronicles of them?
A: The idea is to go back over the pages of the chronology, for example: [i]http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/L_FyrosNewBeginning[ /i], by enriching them with the data of past and present events. Atys didn't stop in 2525, but nothing that has been played since then in events, has been added in the existing chronology.
Q: Ok, and for example, under lore in game, it says Yrkanis is still King. However, Stevano his son is. How do you change those texts?
A: The in game text is being fixed by the translation teamp. Update like this ones will be done by this team.
Q: For the chronology, are you suggesting we submit stories to add to the chronologies to fill in the gaps of history?
A: Not that you make them up, but that you search in official forum, in guild forum, etc, every data regarding official events played since the game started (with their date) and to add the bits you think important in the historical chronology. The events were different depending on the servers, so history on Arispotle will be only on the EN wiki, Leanon one will be on DE Wiki, and Aniro's one on the FR wiki. From the merge on, the chronologies will be identical for everyone.
If writing alone or with other peoples on a pad seems more practical to you, it is possible to word on it, and even to have it validated before adding it to the wiki. For example, https://lite6.framapad.org/p/Atys_chronology_fyros_EN for the fyros chronology on Arispotle and then on Atys. Or https://lite6.framapad.org/p/Atys_chronology_matis_FR for the matis chronology on Aniro and then on Atys. Etc.
Q: I think that, usually, you can start with IC reports written at the time of the event.
A: sometimes it's possible to retrieve some site in the web archives. It would be a pity to lose the trace of everything which has been played (officially or in players events), while it deserves a place in the Ryzom Lore. It's a job which the event team (who's recruiting! ;)) cannot do by lack of people and time. But some players have treasures of memories in their archives or in the ones of their guilds, and by adding the official reports, logs, there is enough to catch up the update needed in the Lore, all together.
Q: Can we include guild names in the Chronicles? Maybe even homins?A: Yes, if they left a trace.
