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 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.

1 Lore Group

Q:  Not very long ago, we've updated the official NPC names for each country. It should be pursued with the names of the PC with an official status or function. But what would be the best way to gather these names, not only once for all, since this list needs to be updated constinuously? Through the forum? Through OOC reminders during events in game?
A: The wiki is managed by the players. So, if there is any list that should be updated, they have to take care of it if they want it updated. BUT, is true, that to help on that task, some official updated list could be somewhere. Since Atys is constantly changing, the list must be updated continuously. The only list that will never change (or never should), is the one of the old or former NPC that ever existed. Dead characters, former leaders etc etc. Right now, with the Steam release tasks, we are busy in every Team. But, I could share this suggestion (creation of an official list with names NPC, or PC one) with the Lore Team and see what we can do.

Q: Are there other means to get official funtions / titles?
A: Those titles are available if you follow the steps each charge needs to get them. Sometimes you just need to propose yourself in the assemblies to get it; sometimes elections are needed.
Lyne: I think they already have the titles, Gaueko. What they want to know if these official functions will be in the official list.
Gaueko: I see. Then, as I said, it would depend in the status of it. If the charge is Royal Illustrator for example, it should appear as the Royal Illustrator on a list that shows the actual charges inside the nation, NPC and PC. If the charge is no more held by the PC, then it should appear on a list of former royal illustrators. (Just and idea, since I have seen similar list before). When a PC has been so long out, and because of that the tile is lost, then it should be removed to another list for sure. If not, even if it could be annoying, unless they officially remove the title to the PC, it would keep the title.
Zendy: What is difficult also, is that you need to remove (or move) the names of the PC who've been away for long.
Gaueko: When a PC has been so long out, and because of that the tile is lost, then it should be removed to another list for sure. If not, even if it could be annoying, unless they officially remove the title to the PC, it would keep the title.
Zendy: Yes, but to summarise, what you're telling me is to wait for the implementation of an official list?
Gaueko: No. As I said, the list on the wiki is usually managed by the players. On some of the wikis with more information than in others. BUT, I can suggest to the Lore Team to work on an official list (with updates in real time) to help with the list that could be done for the wiki.
Zendy: Ok so I'll try to organised an update of wikilore by the players.
Gaueko: Good luck Zendy. I will try my best so we create an official list to help you, or any future list that could be created. Of course, the help of the Lore Team is open right now for this task too. If you want to ask about any NPC, or have any doubt about it, you can send a mail to tamarea@ryzom.com or to gaueko@ryzom.com.

Osquallo: Other than that, I want to add that I'm working on the name generator to try to "finish" it and make it more in accordance with the Lore. As a preview : https://lut.im/6XQ01spjkl/PEriq5xdy7qY8UZH.png

1 A  leader for Lore Team
Gaueko has been nominated as leader for the Lore group, and has joined the validators for this group. Congratulations!

Gaueko: I will try my best to improve the work of the Lore Team, and as Translators and Music Teams manager too, I will make my best to make the things move faster between them. So the new Lore and translations for them get faster to all of you.

Q: How many validators?
A: We are 4 right now.

2 Lore page for Hamazan tribe
Zendy : I can speak about a work done with Vaiatua and with the help and knowledge of Gorias. Vaiatua had already integrated several tribe cards in the lore wiki according to the Lore data already sent by Wiedii (it's the wish of the team to have this content shared). Of course, for the sheet of the Hamazan we were very engaged (Vaiatua also is an Hamazan). The sheet is ready and is just now being read by the Lore team. You'll see, it's very interesting for the Matis history, up to Karavia. Vaiatua and myself will continue and propose chronicles to detail these events and the making of the new tribe sheets will continue also, working with Gorias. 
Tamarea: I read the sheet yesterday, it's really outstanding.  We'll try to validate it quickly for it to be published.

8th of february 2016

The Hamazans background made by Zendae and Vaiatua has been validated by the Lore Team.

Cheer!

29th of february 2016

1 Recruitment
Lore Team under NDA is happy to welcome a new member: Namcha! Welcome!

2 First Steps
Gaueko: I want to add few words here. As Lore Team Manager I have started to reorganize the Team so we can work better and with a fluid flow. We made a meeting few weeks ago and we have already started to introduce this new changes. The most important will be start working on the Public Wiki too. Is one of the Lore Teams task, but mostly players are taking care of it. Soon we will actively work on the update, fix and implementation of new content on the wiki.

3 Lore Team Mail
A mail for the Lore Team has been created: lore@ryzom.comUse this mail to send your ideas to be validated: such a chronicle you have and you don´t know if fits the lore, or you want to learn about an specific part of the lore you can´t find nowhere, or make question, or just suggest ideas. 

7th of march 2016

Zendae: First, regarding the Lore Wiki, I remember that at a time it was difficult to register for me also. It would be great if for example, you could just give your nickname, get a confirmation izam with a clickable link, and then, registering done. Starting from the idea that all the players can volunteer.

Next I can give more precisions about the needs for updating the list of NPC and PC? With Vaiatua we've first worked on the update of the NPCs (I'm still speaking about the Lore Wiki). We've gathered information from the other players, but it's not always correct. The simplest way would be to get an official list. Then, regarding the PC, I thought that the best would be to involve the players, especially the ones who're attending the assemblies in their countries. Nonetheless, it's not easy to have them come on the wiki where, as was already said, it's hard to register. Maybe we can create something with the forum as a relay, where the player would announce the new appointments, replacements, leaves... To be thought about.

Gaueko: About who is who inside the politics of the different factions, I can ask to the Event Team, and then, create a task so the Lore Team works on a list to make this names official. The most important towards this, of course, is that the Lore Team regularly updates this changes.

Q: Otheriwse, an OOC announcement at the beginning of the Assemblies? Or sending an IG mail to the ones who're attending often and asking them to forward?
A: I've done that with the Fyros, but they're under restructuration and couldn't answer. But they weren't opposed to the idea.

6th of June 2016

Q: There were works ongoing on the wiki about the tribes background. Is it still on? Or on hold?
A: We are making great efforts to reorganize the Lore Team so we work better. We have plenty of tasks, but as far as I know, this work is still going on. Once the documents are ready to be validated, Lore Team Validators musttake care of them of course.
Lyne: Meaning that the work on the tribes on the wiki is on hold until the Lore Team is reorganized?
Gaueko: No. For now, this work is something the RF Lore Group is taking care of. So it is up to the ones who are working on it after all. Lore Team is just in baby steps towards a better and more fluid workflow. The Lore Team in this case is here to offer assistance and to validate the work.

11th of july 2016

The lore team is going well with the writing about main Ryzom theme: fire goo kitin but also raw material, teleportation,... when a file will be finished, a public version will be created translated and posted.
Aside of that, the "lore people" will take care of there delay on the validation asked by othezr group. interested people will be informed in time.

2016 october, 10th

Lore group finished writing 5 documents on flora (one for each ecosystem). These documents will be translated then given to Event Team first, so they can make botanic events. Then they will be published in Lore Wiki.

21st of november 2016

1 Peoples history: chronologies 2194-2525 JY
Ongoing: writing and update of the chronologies of each people (fyros, matis, tryker, zoraï) between 2194 and 2525.

2 Rangers Consolidated Lore
The Ranger Lore is almost finished, there are only a few updates left to do before its final validation. Which will allow then to restart both the ranger events and the end of the writing (scenario) for the ranger rite

3 Update of the Flora documents to include the botanical knowledge from Leanon server
Everything is in the title. ;)

Tamarea :
I'm currently working on the Lore  wiki, directly on the multilanguage wiki of Ryzom Forge. To lay the foundations of the RP, little by little. It's easier than trying to validate more that 10 years of articles spread on several Lore wikis with different tree views...

Since I'm responsible for the fyros events, I've started a mock-up... with the Fyros.

Reminder: Since it's still a mock-up, it is incomplete and can change. It is missing tabs in FR, the EN tabs need to be updated, and the tabs in other languages still need to be created.

• http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/Portail_de_la_lore(Only look at the FR version of the links for now)
• http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/Lore/FR/Civilisations
• http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/Lore/FR/Fyros/Histoire/Avant_2525
• http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/Lore/FR/Fyros/Protagonistes
• http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/Lore/FR/Fyros/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9
• http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/History_of_the_Fyros,_Masters_of_Fire

I'm reusing as much as possible of the articles on the other wikis, of course, while updating them. And also the articles written by the Lorists.
