Welcome to the Althas Wiki


This is the official wiki for The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order (or LoA:SO for short), an in-development computer RPG game set in an original medieval low-fantasy setting, being developed by Epoch Games. The game is currently being developed under Epic Games's Unreal Engine 4. This wiki contains information about the game's lore, gameplay, and development. In the future, we would like to have community features.

If you have any questions, please check the FAQ before asking elsewhere (you can also send us an email). If you want to help with the content of the wiki, then please read the Help:Editing pages.

The word Althas is in regards to the name of the planned playable continent in the game.

At this time, the wiki is private only to Epoch Games team members (with few exceptions). This will eventually change in the future.

Selective Reading
28 December 2021   By: Admin
So, turns out, after some Database Updates, Readership Permissions have had to change. Before, all Unregistered and Registered Users (except for Althas Developers) were not supposed to be able to read the articles on the Wiki, as we did not want fans reading through our SODev: articles. More recently however (because of Database Updates), all articles became readable. This has all changed now:

  • Unregistered and Logged In Users can read Lore: and SO: prefixed articles, but not our SODev: prefixed articles.
  • Logged In Users who are Althas Developers can read all articles on the Wiki.

For more details about prefixed articles, see Help:Contents.

This may still change: we may want to block some articles from view to avoid Story Spoilers.

AlthasWiki 2.0 (Kind Of)
31 March 2021   By: Admin
So The Lays Of Althas: Sundered Order Project is being rebuilt to a new Git Repo (and consequently, a new Unreal Engine Project). That means a couple (big) things:

  1. Any article referencing the Old Project Folders and Files will likely no longer be accurate. This is especially applicable to Category:SODev:Coding (as the Code Base is getting a do-over).
  2. Any article referencing the Old Git Repo URL's will be completely inaccurate.

I have begun the long and arduous task of updating the Wiki so that articles are mentioning the New Project (see Special:RecentChanges). I still have had to leave some "placeholder" text in certain articles to mention the Procedures/Code isn't accurate, and there are still many referencing Old Code and explaining Old Systems that likely will be completely different (or just not exist) in the New Project.

Basically SODev: articles are going to require a lot of work. If you're worried about wanting to reference the articles referring to Old Code or Systems ... you still can. Remember you can View history of any wiki article here. I also backed up the Wiki before I even begun the changes I've been making today.

Rescue Rangers!

If you've been keeping up with Special:RecentChanges, you'll notice 2 major things:

  1. A lot of article updates between yesterday and today.
  2. No updates between 21 November and the day before yesterday.

I've been making some major updates over in the SODev articles, and unfortunately made some mistakes. I had to revert the Wiki Database to 20 November, manually modify the articles that had been changed up to 2 days prior then and then go about making the new article modifications.

All looks to be in good shape now! As always, if you see any concerning Red Links, let me know.

User Pages no longer Forbidden!

Not much News, but the Wiki is certainly getting daily article updates. Just nothing to report on infrastructure: "No news is good news", yes? Well, there is one thing:

If you've tried to access a User Page, you may have seen this message:

Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this document.

This issue has existed for awhile (since the November 2019 website recovery). This has been a minor concern and ignored for awhile now, until today:

We spoke with our Webhost about this issue, and now User pages are visible!

Replace Text Tool Operational!
31 December 2019   By: Admin
As I'm sure you're aware if you read the previous news from last month: the Wiki went down due to some hosting issues. Everything was working as it had been before ... except for something I didn't find until a couple weeks ago: Special:ReplaceText was not working properly. Instead, the page would just reloaded when you tried replacing text.

I've been using this tool a lot since the Wiki first came online, so this was an unfortunate find. Luckily, I have good news to report: Special:ReplaceText works properly once again!

I got in contact with one of the the Extension:Replace Text Authors, Yaron Koren, and he gave me the advice I needed to fix the issue! We are still not sure what caused it, but it could (possibly) be due to some PHP or Apache settings, preventing the use of POST.

Whatever the reason: just know that it works now. I should have reported the issue earlier. If I find anymore irregularities with MediaWiki, I will certainly do so here.

Whoa, what happened!?

It's been a wild 7 days ... let me briefly explain:

On 1 November 2019: We chose to stop payment for a domain we weren't using. Unfortunately, in the process, the entire epochgames.co.uk domain was terminated as well! That included not just the Wiki, but also our WordPress, Forum and other sites! After working with our webhost for the last week: today we have been able to recover all of our important websites (minus our old forum, which we never use anymore anyways; our more modern Discourse Forum is fine), including our Wiki here! Shoutout to Nick and James for all their help!

If you find any irregularities, please feel free to email us and let us know!

Look at me[nu] now!

We are now using Extension:TreeAndMenu for our sidemenu, which allows us to customize it as we please. Its a bit buggy (sometimes I'm unable to expand a folder), but I believe overall that this is much better then the Extension:CSS_MenuSidebar we were using before.

We also now have a new Wiki Logo!
