Theme
Haven is a
social MUSH for roleplay and has been designed to provide our players
with a plethora of character options and social interactions. Because
we want to provide as much choice as possible to our players in terms
of characters while still remaining thematic integrity, the following
guidelines will help when deciding the type of character you wish to
play:
Haven's central area is
Avalon, the realm of the Celtic Gods and heroes. It is the home of
Haven's deities, making all religions in Haven polytheistic as players
are encouraged to worship one or all of Haven's diety if they choose to
play a religious character. Within Avalon you find the heart of Haven,
the Henge of Portals. The Henge is an ancient mystical area of a great
circle of standing stones. Between each standing stone there is a
portal which can transport you off to the many other wonderful realms
of Haven.
Haven is a multi-realm MUSH
and therefore a MUSH with realm-wide variations in theme. Though each
realm has its own unique theme, the common theme of each realm that
binds them all together is Celtic and this affects each realm you
visit.
Throughout the many Haven
realms there are many different magical areas, creatures and objects.
However the technology levels of all realms are pre 1850's so please
when building or creating roles, keep that in mind. Modern technology
and electronics or weaponry do not exist in our timeline.
Also, although their are
stars in our skies, other worldly-travel is not in existence with
Haven. Haven is its own planet, Earth and Earth's locales do not exist
in our world, and therefore, nor do any characters from there.
Haven is both a place for
ooc (out of character) friendships and ic (in character) roleplay. In
all areas users may feel free to roleplay in character. Certain areas
and even whole realms may require it of you.
Haven is a fantasy MUSH. In
addition to humans, we also have elves, fae, dragons, buccaneers,
healers, witches, artisans, warriors, formorians, as well as many, many
other options, the choices are nearly unlimited. However, in order to
maintain the theme of Haven, a few player choices ARE not allowed
within the realms of Haven. Since we are a polytheistic society, angels
do not exist here. If you wish to be a prophet or a messenger of one or
all of our deities, you should get their permission before creation of
your character. We do not have time or space travel here in Haven,
which means we also have no aliens or travelers from the future or
realms outside of Haven.
Though this is a mush based
on Earth's Celtic people's it is not based on Earth and is in an other
world altogether. Due to this the Cultures in each of the lands have
developed in different ways. Each realm is different from the other and
in effect has a sub theme under the umbrella of the overall theme.
Therefore you shall find realms which have developed to be similar in
many ways to say Victorian England or you shall have a culture of
Amazon women. We ask that all characters fit within the overall theme
of the mush and/or one of the realm sub themes, which provide a wealth
of choice.
