Dark Risings - MUD Description
Come be a WEREWOLF, a VAMPIRE, or hunt them DOWN!
Or choose from dozens of other life-paths.

Imagine yourself a werecreature, skulking through the deep forest after the moon has caused you to involuntarily transform into a beast of unimaginable terror. Or....a vampire who has devoted yourself to your mistress' bidding, plotting your rise to power and riches. Or... a hunter that specializes in running the creatures of the night into the ground, and has the power to do it. All of these roles and more are yours for the exploring at Dark Risings. Any new character has a 5% chance of being a werecreature mutation of your chosen race. Vampires are chosen by Patriarchs based on their fighting and roleplaying skill.

* NO rent, NO hunger, NO thirst, NO eq level limits, NO alignment restrictions, and resting heals you as fast as sleeping.
* Completely revised MUD school can teach even first-timer mudders!
* Leveling goes fast compared to many other MUDs, as no one really enjoys "grinding" do they?
* Between the hours of midnight and 1 AM Eastern Time we host "Hevige Nacht" when any attack (within 6 levels) is allowed.

The roleplay with the werewolves and vampires can get really intense, so if your idea of adventure is Harry Potter, you might want to look elsewhere. Hey we love Harry Potter too, but our game is not suitable for all ages. We are very newbie friendly, though. MUDS based on Harry Potter, Star Wars, Wheel of Time, Warcraft, etc. are great, but our storyline is original. Although based somewhat on World of Darkness by Whitewolf, it has as much in common with Whitewolf as Van Helsing or Highlander in some ways.

By the way, I can't miss a chance to plug the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). Vivat Trimaris! And if you've only seen the Lord of the Rings movies and never read the books, do yourself a favor and pick up some J.R.R. Tolkien in text form. The books are better than the movies by a factor of 10, just like a good MUD is better than any MMORPG, Worlds of Warcraft, Everquest, or any of the others because graphics are no match for imagination!
