== Logging In ==
 
To login to the wiki, use your forum username and password.
 
 
If you can't seem to login, check to be sure you can login to the forums, as your account may not have been approved yet (check: did you apply with your character name so we know who you are?). If you can log into the forums, try clearing your cache or changing your forum password. If neither of these work, please page Lolth, our serverwiz.
 
 
If you haven't registered for our forums, contact Lahar with an @mail. Let Lahar know your desired password when you do.
