+# Welcome to Tonkadur's website!
+Tonkadur is a tool to create game narratives.
+
+### Find out all about Tonkadur
+ * **Plain-text format.** Just write in your favorite editor and use your usual tools.
+ * **Extensive description language (Fate).** You shouldn't feel restrained in what you can write.
+ * **Strong typing.** Reduce the likeliness of errors in your descriptions.
+ * **Very simple and small interpreted language (Wyrd).** Easily add support for Tonkadur to your engine.
+ * **LISP inspired syntax.** No weird symbols everywhere. No annoying indentation restrictions.
+
+Tonkadur provides a compiler from Fate to Wyrd, letting you freely describe
+your stories using a feature rich language without having to worry about the
+implications when it comes time to add support for it to your engine.
+
+### Sample:
+{{< fatecode >}}(define_sequence in_your_room ()
+ (ifelse
+ (is_member visited_your_room progress)
+ (text_effect narrator
+ You room is still a mess. You don't have time to clean things up,
+ though.
+ )
+ (text_effect narrator
+ You room is a mess. You recall having been through every drawer while
+ preparing your bag yesterday. While still unclear on how you are
+ supposed to pack all the necessary things for what promises to be at
+ least a year-long journey inside a small backpack, you cannot avoid
+ but wasting more time contemplating the piles of items that didn't
+ make the cut.
+ )
+ )
+ (add visited_your_room progress)
+ (player_choice
+ (
+ ( Look for healing items )
+ (jump_to look_for_healing_items)
+ )
+ (
