About Rites of Passage
A dark fantasy MUD — Through darkness, we forge our destiny.
What is Rites of Passage?
Rites of Passage (ROP) is a text-based multiplayer RPG set in a dark fantasy world. Players create characters, choose a race and profession, and explore a persistent realm shared with other adventurers.
Two factions — Good and Evil — stand locked in eternal conflict. There is no neutral ground. Every player must choose a side.
The World
The realm is divided geographically: Good-aligned territories in the West, Evil-aligned territories in the East. Players may cross into enemy territory, but they'll find hostile guards and aggressive monsters awaiting them.
From the hallowed halls of Aethelgard to the dark forges of Gorgoroth, the world is filled with cities, dungeons, wilderness, and secrets waiting to be discovered.
