Blood of Dragons is set in the low-magic, medieval-inspired fantasy
world of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (also the basis
for the HBO show Game of Thrones). Knowledge of the books is not
required for players with some MU*ing experience, though it is
definitely helpful. Blood of Dragons is the only MUSH operating
with the approval of George R.R. Martin and its owners are currently
collaborating with him on a forthcoming book, The World of Ice and
Fire.

The game takes place around 140 years prior to the start of the first
book, A Game of Thrones, allowing players to explore a less defined
period in the history of Westeros while still experiencing how past
events in the books may have played out. The roleplay is focused on
the political and social interactions at the courts in King's Landing
and Sunspear, with players taking up characters from various noble
households. Players have a choice between CGing a character
themselves or taking up previously played, fully pre-generated role.
Choose the latter option and you can often be ready to roleplay
within minutes.

Blood of Dragons is focused on offering good-quality roleplay in a
rich, immersive setting with a strong sense of history and continuity
and we strive to be approachable and helpful. If you find yourself
