Welcome to the Emblem of Ea. If you're new, our Theme Guide aims to get you on your feet quickly by providing an overall view of the setting. We are a roleplay-based Pathfinder-based MUSH. Knowing the rules is helpful, but not completely mandatory for play.
Alexandria is our core setting where much of the day-to-day RP takes place. It's best thought of as similar to Rome: a true melting-pot of cultures, situated geographically between a number of diverse nations (who are often at odds with one another). Alexandria recently disappeared into the Mists through the actions of the goddess, Taara. You can read about this in Recent History.
Races talks about our world's inhabitants, from massive giants to the winged egalrin. Racial tensions exist, but not to the extent they should inhibit play. You can also learn about their beliefs, and check out the player-made lexicon. Tenebrae is a high-fantasy setting, and miracles are uncommon, though visible. The effects of faith are papable, and the magic of the high arcane a wonder to behold.
We encourage you to play what you're interested in, with the following caveat: we do not allow evil PCs. It's something we've tried in the past--it just hasn't worked.
If you're looking to find out what the most popular races and classes are, or "what's needed," login and type +census. Help with Chargen is available both ingame, and through our Chargen Guide.
Once you're established, you're welcome to record yourself on the Wall of Heroes by making a Character Page. You'll need a forum ID and password to login, so be sure to request one of those at the end of Chargen.
When you're comfortable with theme, and have gotten to know the community, check out our Introduction to Plotrunning.
Some Basic Commands
There are a few commands that are unique to Tenebrae. For the most part, these may be found through our +help system. However, you might also enjoy:
- +today - Tells you the current time, date, and weather within the Emblem of Ea
- +map - Tells you where you are in Alexandria
- +lwhere - Lists who's where
