Fading Suns

It is the dawn of the sixth millennium, and the stars themselves are dying. Mankind has stumbled. Civilization has fallen, and humanity now dwells in a New Dark Age. Technology is scarce, and the huddled masses are ruled over by high nobles who hunt and play at war in humanity's final hours. Clergy preach in huge cathedrals dripping with gold and jewels, and merchant guilds hoard knowledge and technological remnants with a tight grip. Forces of chaos and anarchy nibble at the edges of society, and worse still black things from beyond history stir in the dark between the stars. Hope seems extinct - but in such times are heroes needed.

Fading Suns is an epic space fantasy setting, a futuristic passion play in the style of the great medieval epics of King Arthur or Charlemagne transferred to a feudal far future where knights-errant brave the dark with a sword in one hand and a blaster in the other. Play on the Fading Suns MUSH ranges from court intrigue to investigating occult mysteries, bloody battle and questing adventures into the unknown. The MUSH has been open for over eight years and is entering a new chapter of its ongoing story - a chapter that needs new heroes to face the night.

A saint has been foully murdered, and as the winter snows retreat a Waste Land has set in on the planet Vargo, leaving barren fields and blighted crops. Forests turn dark and overgrown, and black omens and blacker creatures intrude on the fire-circle of civilization. Play bold knights, pious clergy and investigative guilders come to seek answers and heal this broken planet, or join the ranks of the native rebellion that points to the tyrannical reign of nobles, Church and guilds as the source of the planet's contagion. Join in the intrigue between feuding houses, guilds and church sects, all seeking dominance over this troubled world.

Knights, priests, guilders, aliens, psychics and the Dark Between the Stars - the Fading Suns MUSH is a place of politics and adventure, and it is ready for you. Go to our website at http://fadingsuns.org or join the story at fadingsuns.org port 4996.
