Magick will never be the same in AllanakWe have big changes coming up for you magick wielders. Gemmed and rogue magick in Armageddon MUD is evolving to open up with new social dynamics, mechanics, and roleplaying opportunities!
MAGEFALLFamine strikes Allanak in the
25th year of the 23rd Age, igniting strife between the Great Houses as the city is embroiled in deadly riots. In the midst of chaos, Houses Oash and Jal advocate for the value of Gemmed labour, leading a coalition of like-minded Houses. They position the Gemmed not only as crucial assets but as saviors of the populace, leveraging their abilities for profit and influence. These political efforts elevate the Gemmed, granting them unprecedented social status and influence within the city.
19th day of the Descending Sun, in the 70th year of the 23rd AgeHowever, this period of momentary glory does not last. Mere decades later, the fragile state shatters when a Guild-backed conspiracy, rooted in the dark beliefs of a cult, orchestrates a night of terror remembered as Magefall. In a single night, hundreds of Gemmed are brutally murdered, their blood staining the city's streets. Now with the smoke cleared, the city of Allanak has been split into two beliefs: That Gemmed are despised sub-citizens at the core of all the city's woes or that they are useful tools who deserve a marginally better lifestyle.

With these changes, we are seeking to evolve the story in the next Season to be inclusive to our mage players of new experiences and opportunities. This doesn't mean that mundane players are left behind, however - as the social consequence of change affects everyone. Both the common people and nobility are split on this issue. Which side will you choose?
