Roleplaying | Connection Details | Levels and Experience

You are about to embark on a journey into the mystical world of Alara's Fairy Garden. Created in the old-school text adventure game style, this world is both engaging, fun and ever-changing.

Roleplay

The Fairy Garden is based solely off of an original concept regarding the mystical and magical realms of Gaelic and Celtic lore. While many MU*'s like to pattern themselves directly after previously written story, either via novel or movie, the Fairy Garden is more an attempt at laying down the framework for an original story from inspiration, while drawing its themes from ancient mythology, and then completing this story via roleplay. In short, you are the author. Completely.

Rules for Roleplay:
The Fairy Garden encourages, but does not enforce roleplay. The only requirement is that your character be based out of one of twelve flexible races offered:

Elemental

Dryad - Also known as tree-nymphs, these are the spirits of the trees.
Fairy - Small winged beings that resemble tiny humans.
Naiad - Water nymphs with the ability to meld into and become a liquid.

Furry

Theriolyph - Half animal, half humans including fauns, centaurs, harpies, etc.
Antho - Pure furries, animals with human features or vice versa.
Metamorph - Creatures that transform from humanoid to animal based on certain conditions.

Lepidran

Dragon - Large winged reptilian creatures with magical abilities.
Daemon - Winged beings spawned from lava-dwelling salamanders who are known for their powerful mating instincts.
Naga - Serpent-like creatures known for their paralytic gaze.

Undead

Lich - Skeletal undead spawn of the Grim Reaper.
Sluagh - Cursed souls who are banned from the afterlife.
Vampire - Blood-sucking undead who thrive in the darkness.

We do have a few older players of different races, Norbert, the Elf King being one. Additionally, many of our automated players, NPCs, and administrative staff may assume custom races as well. If you have an overwhelming desire to be a race that is currently not offered, speak to someone on +staff and we'll be more than willing to review your request!

Levels and Experience

While many MUDs consist of a levelling system and dungeons to gain experience, I haven't had much desire to develop something so complicated from scratch. Although I've had a few ideas in that area, my main objective has been to work on the look and feel of the garden to make it as enjoyable as possible without too many features. Therefore, there will be no levelling or experience system, at least not right away. Instead, roleplay is encouraged above all else.
