Hello BYOND,

Missing the gameplay from HRH? Skin peeling from being unable to submerge in an RP environment?

I have the balm that cures you my friends!

Accursed Lands (or AL for short) is a role play intensive (RPI) mud that revolves around social interaction, crafting and constant role play events run by the creators. The game is set in a very un-generic low fantasy dark age post apocalyptic world.

As a new player you will have access to three races:

Goblins -
Goblins are a small, scrawny race of bipedal omnivores with voracious appetites. They have large, wide eyes, large mouths, and large pointed ears. Reclusive by nature, they prefer to live in loose tribes in remote areas of murky swamps, shallow caves, or dense forests. Goblins are cunning and adaptable and they tend to fear and loathe the flying races. They harbor hatred for anyone better off than they are, and are in general a bitter race. Goblins are very superstitious, and tend to be fearful of anything they do not understand. They also possess a below average aptitude for magic.

Mysrra -
Mysrrae are fur-covered, bipedal feline carnivores, displaying many colors and patterns of fur. As a race, they are slightly below average in size and in strength, but are quick and highly agile. Mysrrae tend towards egotism, and usually maintain a fierce sense of personal independence. Most mysrrae consider fervent dedication to an idealized way of living to be one of the highest virtues, though some cannot cope with the intensity of such a life. They are usually very religious, and often believe with great fervor in the moral superiority of their race; this wins them few friends among neighboring cultures, though mysrrae can prove excellent allies for those that can tolerate their ideals. They possess a slightly above average aptitude for magic.

(Note: It has been stressed in the game that Mysrrae are NOT housecats, you will be rated badly for attempting to roleplaying as a typical anthro-felanoid.)

Human -
Humans are a large, strong race of bipedal omnivores, reaching an average height of slightly under two meters (6 ft). They tend to be social, though they lack the organization to create many large-scale governments; most human cultures remain quite barbaric and are never fully united. Most of their acts can be traced back to their pervasive self-interest; in the pursuit of their goals, individual humans range from quite resourceful to downright catatonic. Most human cultures tend to be superstitious and very fearful of the unknown. Humans possess a below average aptitude for magic.

Good role play will unlock other races such as the winged Halak and subterranean Molok.

The game has undergone heavy development since it's genisis in 1996 and has a gigantic overworld map complete with ASCII representation of your surroundings when outside.

I advise any new players to explore the tutorial area and get used to the parser.
