Haven of the Embraced

Welcome to "Haven of the Embraced", based around White Wolf publishing's 'Classic' World of Darkness (specifically the Dark Ages: lineup). We are a predominantly Hack & Slash MUD (Heavily modified Merc base) that has the back end mechanics rewritten to mimic the D10 system of the Tabletop. Those familiar with World of Darkness would recognize our Character Sheet, and all abilities are reflected via its usage in the code (WoD knowledge is by no means necessary to play). For RolePlayers, updates have been added to help cater to RP. Haven is RP encouraged, not enforced. This allows players to create and progress without needing admin approval for your character, all of your decisions can typically be made on your own.

The original world is set in 1230 AD (+/- 20 years to allow flexibility) in Europe, with a focus on real world (Chester, England; Paris, France; etc) mixed with supernatural undertones. Select from one of 10 Vampire Clans at creation to get right into the action, or once you have some time under your belt you can choose to level a human in order to become a Werewolf or Mage (10 Tribes for Werewolf, 5 Traditions for Mages). Each race plays differently, with their own quirks and nuances. A multitude of innate traits, as well as learnable abilities, helps differentiate each race.

We have constant new additions, whether codified gameplay or alterations to areas being re-vamped (yes, I took the low hanging fruit), throughout the year. Progression is simple to learn, but takes a little time to get the specifics mastered. Level from 1 - 100 in the world, then 'remort' your character back to level 1. You retain your abilities, and earn Freebie points to permanently increase your power. All the gear you earn is yours to keep, and all items are saved regardless of levels.

Hop on in, and if you have any questions, I'm readily available in-game or in Discord. Look for 'Gilean'.
