Dies Irae
-
Hello, I’d like to announce the beta opening of Dies Irae, a 20th Anniversary World of Darkness MUSH using the Evennia platform.
Dies Irae is a World of Darkness MUX set in modern-day San Diego. It uses the 20th Anniversary Edition of Vampire: the Masquerade, Werewolf: the Apocalypse, Mage: the Ascension and Changeling: the Dreaming as its core rulesets, and further provides support for Mortal and Mortal+ characters, Fera, and also Wyrm-aligned characters.
Dies Irae is a game of collaborative storytelling. We focus on the struggle of characters against - or to accelerate - the encroaching doom of the world and entities portrayed by storytellers rather than against other player characters. This even applies to Wyrm-aligned characters, who are all employed by Pentex, which has an agenda not concerned with other player characters.
Player character vampires in Dies Irae are all Sabbat. Werewolves are primarily focused on the Sept of the Rising Tide, rebuilding a formerly calcified Caern. All tribes are offered save for Red Talons. The Traditions, Technocracy and Nephandi are options for Mage characters. Changeling offers Kithain including certain Gallain, Merfolk, and Nunnehi; with conflicts focused more on borders, culture, and land claims than Seelie versus Unseelie courts. Fera are working within two court structures: one that is influenced by the Ahadi and includes all of the western Fera (Rokea, Gurahl, Ananasi, Ratkin, Ajaba, Mokole, and Bastet) with the occasional Kitsune, as well as a small, but functional Emerald Court that has been in the area since the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed.
The power levels of characters in Dies Irae are at a low to medium level. Characters might very well have aspirations of great power, but our focus is on more modest power levels.
