Heart of the Wyld is set in the present day, and based around

Yellowstone National Park and its environs. While both the park

and the area around it are at least loosely based off the real

world, there are some notable differences between it and HotW's

version of Yellowstone in the World of Darkness which can be

found on the MUSH's +news files.



The game focuses on the Garou, Werewolves. While other character

types do definitely exist often on the game, they are mostly

relegated to NPC-type characters for use in stories. This is to

allow the main characters to shine brightly, rather than be

muddled by so many different 'spheres' trying to co-exist in one

place.



Character creation is by application. This is to make sure people

who are trying to play have enough of a grasp on proper

punctuation, grammar, basically all the things that allow a

player to interact with fellow roleplayers efficiently. In

addition, we want to make sure the character wanted fits well

with the current playerbase and the worldview of the MUSH. We

recommend you come on by the game and check out our +news files

on all relevant character generation information and

theme/setting. Our staff is always around and available for

answering your questions.



The theme of Werewolf: the Apocalypse is one of savage horror in

a world that is much like our own, yet twisted, with powerful

supernatural forces hidden behind the facade of modern life -- a

World of Darkness. Here at Heart of the Wyld, we focus strongly

on struggle. Internally, it is often the struggle between man and

wolf, between reason and the mindless fury of the Beast within

every Garou. Externally, this struggle manifests in such diverse

forms as inter (and intra) tribal conflict, and against any of a

myriad of external threats -- the Garou are at war, with the

Apocalypse looming on the horizon, and the inescapable fact is

that the Garou are losing. Some Garou lose hope -- their are

greater numbers of Ronin in the finals days than at any time in

history. Will that be your fate? Will you struggle in vain

against the nigh-overwhelming opposition that the Garou face in

their war? Or will you scoff at defeat, and go on to win

victories that are the stuff of legend?
