Imagine a world where everything matters, and every choice shapes your destiny. Harshlands isn’t just a game; it’s a universe embodied in a MUD, offering a harsh yet captivating medieval experience. Forget about classes and levels—there are no easy paths here, only your skill and ability to survive in a dangerous world.
Hârn Island is steeped in the spirit of the 9th–12th centuries, where magic is rare and life is a constant struggle. You will find yourself at the heart of feudal intrigues and republican ideals, surrounded by forests, cities, and ancient ruins. Be careful: life beyond the city walls is full of dangers, and death here is permanent.
In Harshlands, your path isn’t defined by a class—your choices shape it. Become whoever you wish: a herbalist, craftsman, soldier, priest, criminal, or noble. Your skills grow through use, and experience comes from real actions. For seasoned players, three unique non-human races are also available.
Roleplay is at the heart of Harshlands. Here, you don’t just control a character—you become them. Every choice, every word matters. The combat system is unforgiving: wounds, infections, and permanent death await. Are you ready to take the challenge?
