From BattleMaster Wiki

This is the BattleMaster Community, made not only for, but also largely by players. It is a WikiWiki system, using MediaWiki, the same software that powers Wikipedia.

Official Manual

All pages in this section have been written by contributors and are occasionally reviewed for accuracy. The manual is intentionally incomplete in some details and does not reveal everything, simply because it makes for a more interesting game to discover some stuff on your own.

BattleMaster Basics  For the impatient, what you really should know to play the game. Manual  The full manual, with all the details we are willing to share. FAQ  The Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers). OOC Instructions  A list of instructions to do various OOC things such as subscribe to news list or access IRC.

Introduction  An in-character introduction to BattleMaster. Roleplaying  Guidelines and other information about the roleplaying aspect of BattleMaster. The Titans  A word on titans, whom you might encounter while playing the game.

Development and Contests

We are currently refactoring the code to update and massively improve BattleMaster. Early details and an overview can be found on the War 2.0 page.

Part of our continued effort is that we run occasional Contests where you can contribute to BattleMaster and have your work be used daily by over a thousand players.

Island News

One very popular aspect of BattleMaster are the various newspapers, usually written in-character. Here is the master index of all these publications:

East Island News - Atamara News - Beluaterra News
Colonies News - Far East News - South-East News - South-West News
Dwilight News - International News - OOC News
How to start your own newspaper

Community Portal

This part of the wiki allows everyone to add their own content to the wiki, including you. It is really easy, read the User's Guide for an extensive documentation, or our Editing help page for a short version. If you plan to make major changes, or write your own pages, please do read our Style Guide as well. If you just want to experiment, and see what is possible, try the Sandbox page.

Since all content here is player-generated, it is not so easy to make a table of contents. Below are just a few pages that we think are good places to start. We will occasionally update this list.

• Gems of Wisdom - Index of game information from players, for players.
• Background Information - Historical data and details about the european medieval times
• Realm Pages - Propaganda, mis-information or plain descriptions of various realms all around the game.
• Guild Pages - Where the guilds can present themselves.
• Religions - Where faith rules all
• Family Pages - Collection of family pages, where you can add a page about your own family.
• Quotes - Memorable in-game (or discussion list) quotes
• Miscellaneous - Anything that doesn't fit into the categories above.

• Temporary Pages - This is just a starting and collection point for all kinds of random pages. Use this to start your own article if you don't yet know where to put it, or to temporarily store work-in-progress.
