The welcome page of Khaganat introduces some concepts. First, you can read our charter, and if you want a really detailed presentation, please red the manifesto and the founding principles.

Khaganat is a complex project, where it is easy to get lost. Follow the guide, and discover somthing different…

Khaganat aims at creating a MMORPG as free as possible. Free in all the possibilities that are given to the players (but it is something every MMORPG will try to offer), free also in its code… and in its graphical resources, in its universe, in its history, in the tools provided to modify it and make it grow.

It is also a social and economical experiment. The Khaganat’s participants explore concepts not usually used in video games, and hence make the bet taht a game fully accessible could generate a positive economy ¹⁾ and constructive human exchanges, based on sharing and good-will, rather than on constraint and secrecy.

In concrete terms, if the players’ community want a patch, it can create and install it. If everyone wishes to see a new race appearing, then every talent will be solicited to create an history for this new race, to integrate it in what already exists, to create its visual appearance, to animate the 3d models, to add it into a server, and to discover the new events which are related to it.

Everyone has to, and can, decide what (s)he wants to do : just play, join in the modifications, support all of this from some distance, motivate all the other ones to give their best… Everyone has a place here.

For more details, you’d really better read the manifesto and the founding principles !

Take the time to navigate through the pages of the wiki, jump on the forum²⁾. Don’t hesitate to ask questions on the IRC channels. A lot of things is still to be built.

The Wikhan(that you are reading currently) gives information regarding the project as a whole. Tools, tutorials, and so on.. but not about the world(s)! We consider the possibility that one day, other worlds(and other servers) may emerge from the initial project.

To get a presentation of the world, you’ve got to go to the “Unity of Memory 1”, usually abbreviated in UM1. Welcome on the First Matrix of the Khanat³⁾! But hush, only Dreamers can perceive what the matrix is… that is the game environment that you will discover on the server.

Everything is available on the UM1, just as it is on the Wikhan, both under license CC-BY.

The Mediateki is also associated with Khanat. This is the place where we gather all the creations from all kind of artists: chronicles, stories, drawings, music, poesy etc… BUTbeware, each work belongs to the one who created it and licenses may differ. You can join in and use the data of the universe while protecting your own work with the most abominable licenses(if you want)⁴⁾.

Well, just for now, it will be a bit difficult. But it will arrive. The project is only just starting..

Everything is to be done, everything is to be dreamt !

The rule(which is the foundation Khaganat) is “Dream without limit”. When the vision is a great one, it gathers and motivates. Technical constraints, human capabilities, availables skills ? It’s only secundary. Dare to dream and share the collective dream.. and when you’re full of energy and ready to move mountains⁵⁾, then… make the first step… then the second one.. and one step after another(without ever losing the sense of what it is that motivates you), the obstacles will be overcome and the dream will turn into a reality.

Each element(considered on itself) is doable. Anyone can give his/her contribution, by correcting a comma or by re-coding the whole server… Everything is useful!!

By contributing to Khaganat, you then also may learn or practice new things like:

• Learn the lojban.
• Use blender.
• Tell stories.
• Write in LUA scripts.
• Do machinima.

etc, etc..
