| - KushielMUX, based on the Kushiel's Legacy series of novels by Jacqueline Carey, focuses intently on political intrigue roleplay based on the powerful, prosperous, and liberated country of Terre d'Ange. A mystical France in an alternate history, Terre d'Ange is a land populated by the descendants of angels. In Terre d'Ange, the power shifts between the noble Houses, the Duchies of the country's seven provinces and the minor Houses constantly circling like sharks, waiting for blood in the water so they can make their move. The tools of political power are many and varied; personal influence, the energy to deal with many people, the rumor mill, loyalty, even the use of one's own body as a weapon to gather intelligence - the Royal Court is always rife with plots within plots.

The tools of political power are many and varied; personal influence, the energy to deal with many people, the rumor mill, loyalty, even the use of one's own body as a weapon to gather intelligence - the Royal Court is always rife with plots within plots. Our game, in specific, is high political intrigue mixed with large, arcing plots and stories. It's set 175 years after the end of the Kushiel's Legacy series A recent change in staff and philosophy has new plots unfolding across Terre d’Ange.The de Morhban throne still reigns, elected through Royal Vote when the last of the Courcel line died with Queen Elireese fifteen years ago. Yet now whispers speak to a true Heir having been found, the Queen’s son, spirited away before her death and raised by Alban monks. Will your character flock to him to see Elua’s true line restored, or stay loyal to House de Morhban? Perhaps neither, as the Parliament grows stronger each day, and some say that the Prime Minister seeks in secret to abolish the throne altogether, putting governance in the people’s hands. KushielMUX was voted the winner of the 2007 FidoCon award for Best Historical Text-Based RPG. The game includes a thorough wiki, where players and staff work together to maintain information about background, characters, plots, stories, and the setting. ==============================================================================
